Cables are often 
color-coded to connectors. 
Connect red to red, 
white to white, etc.
To perform tape editing, set the TV to the video input intended for 
playback by pressing TV/VIDEO on the remote control.
You may need to change the video input on your VCR. Consult 
your VCR’s operating manual for instructions.
If your VCRs have S VIDEO jacks: For best picture quality, use an
S VIDEO connection instead of the video cable (yellow) on your 
combined A/V cable.
Use an S VIDEO cable to connect the playback VCR’s S VIDEO OUT 
jack to the recording VCR’s S VIDEO IN jack. S VIDEO does not 
provide audio, so audio cables must be connected to provide 
sound.
You cannot record signals from equipment connected to the
