CABLE / VCR / DTV HOOKUP OPTIONS
Choose the best connection available on your VCR. Refer to the owner’s manual that came with your VCR for available hookup options and operating instructions.
Contact your Cable provider for information about your service.

CABLE / VCR / AV CONNECTIONS (VIDEO1)
1 Connect a cable from the Cable Service wall plate to the “ANT In” terminal on the VCR.

2 Connect the “Out to TV” terminal on the VCR to the ANT terminal on the DTV using a 75 ohm coaxial cable.

3 Connect your VCR to the VIDEO1 jacks on the DTV, as shown here, matching connector colors to jack colors (optional for better playback quality).

3 If your VCR is a Super VHS VCR, connect a 4-pin round S-Video cable from the VCR to the S-Video jack on the DTV, instead of the yellow connector.

 

4 With the VCR turned OFF, press the MENU key and select All Channel Search to program in your analog Cable channels. (Refer to the owner’s manual for specific instructions.)

5 Use the INPUT key on the DTV’s remote to select Video 1 for VCR playback.

NOTES: This hookup does not provide for off-air digital channels to be received. Only analog Cable channels are “passed through” to the DTV tuner.

When the VCR is powered ON, the VCR’s TV/VCR switch must be in the TV position for Cable channels to “pass through” to the DTV tuner.

You can record and watch different analog channels.
