Connecting External Video Sources; Input Mode Selection Order - Hitachi 53UWX10BA Operating Manual

CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO SOURCES

The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, camcorder, laserdisc player, DVD player, or HDTV Set Top Box to your TV set is
dependent on the model and features of each component. Check the owner's manual of each component for the location of video
and audio inputs and outputs.
The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. However, you may need to modify them to accommodate your
particular assortment of components and features. For best performance, video and audio cables should be made from coaxial
shielded wire.
Before Operating External Video Source
The input mode is changed every time the VID1~VID5 button is pressed as shown below. Connect an external source to the INPUT
terminal, then press the VID1~VID5 button as necessary to view the input source. (See page 26)
NOTE: When the TV is set to VIDEO and a video signal is not received from the VIDEO INPUT JACK on the back panel of the
TV (i.e., VCR/laserdisc player, etc. is not connected or the video device is OFF), the set will appear to be OFF.
CONNECTING A MONAURAL AUDIO SOURCE TO INPUT1~INPUT5
1. Connect the cable from the VIDEO OUT of the VCR or the laserdisc player to the INPUT (VIDEO) jack, as shown on the TV set
below.
2. Connect the cable from the AUDIO OUT of the VCR or the laserdisc player to the INPUT (MONO)/L(AUDIO) jack.
3. Press the VID1~VID5 button to view the program from the VCR or the laserdisc player. The VIDEO mode disappears
automatically after approximately eight seconds.
4. Press the ANT button to return to the previous channel.
