TV (LED-LCD) w/ Blu-Ray/VHS Combo Player

Description: Includes an LED-LCD 42" television and Blu-Ray/VHS combination player mounted on an A/V cart. Blu-Ray player will play DVDs.

Setup Considerations: Stored in Room 224. See also connecting a computer to an LED TV.

  • When connecting an LED TV to a cable TV connection, you have to scan the channels after connecting the coax cable to the TV in order to see TV channels. This is because once the TV is unplugged (as it usually is when stored) there is no power to retain the scanned channel configuration.
  • In order to scan the channels, a 4 digit code is required. This code is the same as the laptop cart security cables.

When storing these TVs, position the cart so that the screens face the wall. This will protect the screens from getting scratched, dented, of damaged by regular foot traffic in the storage area.
