    How do I connect my Philips DVD/VCR product to my television and to my signal source?

    Published on 2017-03-07

    First you need to connect the Philips DVP product to your television. In order to enjoy optimal signals from both the VCR and the DVD outputs of the Philips DVP product. You will need to connect several sets of cables. We will start with the VCR Output of the DVP product:

    1. Connect 2 RCA (Composite) type cables (typically these are red and white in color, but any RCA Cable can be used) to the red and white DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR and to the red and white AUDIO IN jacks on the TV.

    2. Connect an RCA (Composite) type cable (typically this would be a yellow cable, but any RCA Cable can be used) to the DVD/VCR VIDEO OUT jack on the DVD/VCR and to the VIDEO IN jack on the TV.

    Note: This connection can be used for both DVD and VCR outputs but the DVD playback quality will be poor. We only recommend using this output for DVD playback on older Televisions that do not have SVHS or Component inputs. If your TV has Component or SVHS inputs, please proceed to the next section.

    ONLY the DVD output of this unit will play through either of the below connections. To watch the VCR or an external tuner, you will need to use the connections in the above section.

    You may either

    1. Connect a single S-Video cable (not supplied) to the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the DVD/VCR and to the S-VIDEO IN jack on the TV.

    or

    1. Connect three component video cables to the Red, Blue and Green COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR and to the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks on the TV.

    2. With either connection you will also need to connect the red and white DVD AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR to the red and white AUDIO IN jacks on the TV using RCA (Composite) type cables

    Connecting TV to a DVD player

    You will run the connect from the external tuner (Cable or Satellite box) to the Philips DVP Product as follows

    1. Connect the red and white audio RCA (Composite) cable (supplied) to the red and white AUDIO OUT jacks on the external tuner and to the red and white VCR AUDIO IN jacks on the DVD/VCR.

    2. Connect the yellow RCA (Composite) video cable (supplied) to the yellow VIDEO OUT jack on the external tuner and to the VCR VIDEO IN jack on the DVD/VCR.
