Connecting Your System
Read this chapter while setting up your Internet Terminal for the first time.
Overview
¡fyou use an answering sewicc or voice
message service, you must listen to all
your messages before you can connect to
the WebTV Network.
Before you can connect to WebTV, you must connect your Internet Terminal
to each of the following:
□ Your TV (either directly or through your VCR)
□ A telephone line
□ An AC power outlet
The type of connection you choose depends on whether your TV:
□ Has S-VIDEO, RCA-type A/V (audio/video), or RF coaxial jacks.
□ Is connected to a VCR.
An S-VIDEO connection provides the best picture quality of all the
connection options.
For optimum audio performance, consider integrating the Internet Terminal
into your home entertainment system.
Telephone Line Connection Options
.If possible, connect your Internet Terminal to a telephone jack that isn't
connected to a telephone. If you have only one telephone jack, use the
T Splitter to share the line. This will enable you to keep both the Internet
Terminal and your telephone plugged in at the same time. The T Splitter
must be plugged into the wall jack to operate properly.
If you don't ha\'e Call Waiting, a person trying to call you while you're
connected to WebTV gets a busy signal.
If you have Call Waiting and you want your Internet Terminal to temporarily
disconnect from the WebTV Network when you receive a call, see "Select
dialing options" on page 23. This setting will allow your telephone to ring so
you can take the call the way you normally do. When you're finished with the
call, push the button on the remote to reconnect to the WebTV Network.
You will be reconnected to the page you were visiting when the call came in.
You may find you don't want to be interrupted when you are on the Internet.
WebTV makes it easy for you to temporarily turn off Call Waiting while
you're connected. For information on disabling Call Waiting, or on
disconnecting from the WebTV Network to make a telephone call, see SETUP
on page
22 .
If the telephones in your house are generally busy, you might consider using
a separate, or dedicated, telephone line for WebTV Network. Contact your
local telephone company to order a separate telephone line.
