Connecting to a VCR
After connecting a VCR to the PDP, you can view VHS tapes, record a TV channel you are watching, or
record from one channel while watching another. You can also connect the TV cable to the VCR and use
the VCR connection to view TV programming.
To connect a VCR to the PDP:
Connect the audio and video cables from the VCR to the PDP, using one of the connections below.
A. Connect the Standard composite (AV) cable video jack to the Video 1 or Video 2 connectors on the
PDP. Connect the audio jacks to the Audio R/L connectors. Standard composite (AV) is color coded.
Video = yellow, Audio Left = white, and Audio Right = red.
B. Connect the S-Video cable to the S-Video 1 or S-Video 2 on the PDP. S-Video cable does not
include audio. The audio cable (L/R) should be separately connected between the audio connectors
on the VCR and the PDP.
To watch video programs:
1. Turn on the PDP.
2. Turn on your VCR, then inset a video tape into the VCR. Consult the user manual of the VCR if
needed.
3. Press the TV/VIDEO button on the remote control or the SOURCE button on the PDP unit to view
and set input sources. Select Video 1, Video 2, S-Video 1, or S-Video 2, depending on the
connection you have made between the VCR and the PDP.
4. Press the PLAY button to watch the video program.
Viewing TV through the VCR:
If you have routed a TV cable through the VCR, you will need to set the VCR output and the TV source
before viewing cable programming. Most VCRs are set according to the procedure defined below.
However, you may need to consult your VCR user manual for specific instructions.
1. Set the VCR output to channel 3 or 4.
2. Tune the TV to the same channel as the VCR.

NOTE:
•
Do not place the VCR
too close to the PDP,
as this may cause
picture interference.
• Avoid pausing or
freezing an image on
the PDP while
watching movies on
the VCR to prevent
burn in of the plasma
screen. Burn in occurs
when lasting
impressions are left on
the screen from still
images being displayed
for a long period of
time.
