With the advent of DVD and Blu-ray technology, some television instruction manuals no longer provide comprehensive instructions on connect VCRs. Connecting a VCR to RCA's 32-inch LCD L32HD31 television is a quick and simple process, similar to hooking up a DVD player with composite video output.
Instructions
1. Locate the video output jacks on your VCR. These are located on the back of the VCR and are usually labeled as "Video Out" or "Output." You'll see three jacks colored white, red and yellow.
2. Plug the RCA audio/video cable into the VCR output jacks. This cable has two audio jacks (red and white) and one video jack (yellow). Match up the white, red and yellow cable jacks to the corresponding colors on the VCR output jacks. The yellow jack will be labeled "Video," while the white and red jacks will be labeled "Audio Left" and "Audio Right," respectively.
3. Locate the group of three jacks labeled "Audio/Video Input 1 (Vid 1)" on the back of the RCA L32HD31. These look similar to the VCR output jacks, with three inputs colored red, white and yellow.
4. Plug the other end of the RCA audio/video cable into the "Audio/Video Input 1 (Vid 1)" jacks on the TV. Again, match up the corresponding colors.
5. Test the connection. Plug in and turn on both the TV and VCR. Insert a VHS tape into your VCR and press "Play." Press the "Input" button on your RCA L32HD31's remote control. Then use the right and left arrows to select "Vid 1" as your video input channel. Select "OK" on your RCA remote control to confirm, and you'll see the VCR signal playing on your TV.
