Cable and VCR Connections
There are three basic types of antenna or cable connections:
• If you have an antenna or have a cable system that does not require you use a cable box
to select channels, please refer to Diagram #1.
• If you have a cable system that requires the use of a cable box to access all the channels,
please refer to Diagram #2. If you cannot operate your Picture-In-Picture function using
Diagram #2, try the connection shown in Diagram #3. It is possible your cable box allows
the signal of only one channel at a time to be sent to your television.
• If you have a cable system that requires the use of a cable box to access certain premium
channels, but not "basic" cable channels, please refer to Diagram #3.
• For your convenience, connection to a VCR is also shown in the following diagrams. A
VCR is not necessary for operation of the television or Picture-In-Picture (PIP) func-
tion. You may omit the VCR from your connections if you wish.
• For instructions on connecting a VCR only, please see the Quick Setup on page 11.
• For information on using PIP, please see page 47.
• The PIP feature is available on models AV-36F803, AV-32F803 and AV-27F803 only.
