Connecting a VCR This connection allows you to watch local channels and video programs, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and record from one channel while watching another channel.
Connecting your TV Connecting a cable converter box This connection allows you to watch basic and premium cable channels. To use the TV features (such as PIP swap, channel y z, channel block, favorite channels, or channel labels ), select ANT-1. To view premium channels, select ANT-2, tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is vacant in your area), and use the converter box to change channels.
Welcome to Toshiba Connecting a DVD player or satellite receiver and a VCR Note: You can use a standard video cable instead of an S-video cable between the TV and DVD player/satellite receiver, but the picture quality will decrease.
