Preparing for use
1 Turn on the TV.
2 Press the TV/VIDEO button on the TV or on the Remote
Commander so that "VIDEO" appears on the screen.
When you cannot obtain a clear picture and/or sound
Make sure that the TV/VTR on the VCR is set to TV.
Reselect the channel you want to view with the controls on
the TV or the Remote Commander.
About S video input
Video input and output signals can be separated into Y
(luminance or brightness) and C (chroma or color) signals.
Usually these two signals are combined in a VCR and sent
as one signal to a TV. Separation of the Y and C signals
prevents them from interfering with one another, thereby
improving picture (especially color) quality.
This TV is equipped with an S video input jack through
which these separated signals can be input directly. This
way you can connect your S video-equipped VCR
separately from a non-S video VCR.
To return to TV mode
Press the TV/VIDEO button on the TV or Remote Commander so
that a channel number appears on the screen.
• For operating instructions, refer to the instruction manual
furnished with the VCR.
• If the picture or sound is affected, move the VCR away
from the TV.
• If S VIDEO is set to OFF, you cannot watch VCR
playback pictures from the S VIDEO input.
To set S VIDEO to ON, see "Watching a Video with Your
S Video-Equipped VCR," p. 27.

improve the picture.
