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 Plasma
TV 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
Connect an external source to one of the INPUT terminals, then press the INPUTS button to show the INPUTS menu. Use the
CURSOR PAD to select the Antenna or Input of your choice. Then press the SELECT button to confirm your choice (see page 33).
