Connecting Your DVD Player

You have several options for connecting your DVD player to your HDTV: HDMI, Component, S-Video and

right one for you.

2. Connect a HDMI cable to the HDMI output of your DVD player and the other end to the HDMI
1 input at the rear of the HDTV.
3. Turn on the power to the HDTV and your DVD player.
4. Select HDMI 1 using the INPUT button on the remote control, or directly by pressing the
HDMI button on the remote control.
Note: If HDMI 1 is being used, connect to another HDMI port instead.
