Preparation
3 Connecting the aerial and VCR
• Read the manuals provided with the devices. Depending on the device, the connection
method may be different from the diagrams. Also the device settings may need to change
depending on the connection method.
• Turn off all the devices including the TV.
• Connecting cables are not supplied.
• When connecting monaural audio to the TV, use the L/MONO jack.
• The AV-21Y311 and AV-16N311 are supplied with rod aerial but without matching aerial
adapters.
• You can connect an S-VIDEO compatible device (such as an S-VHS VCR) to the S-connector
with an S-VIDEO cable and enjoy the high quality picture of the S-VIDEO signal (Y/C
signal). In that case, do not connect it to the TV with a video cable.
• If you connect the VCR to the TV only with an aerial cable, you should preset the video
channel from the VCR to the AV channel (channel number 0) on this TV. See “MANUAL CH
PRESET” on page 16 and preset it manually.
