CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO SOURCES

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 INPUT button is pressed as shown below. Connect
an external source to the INPUT terminal, then press the INPUT button as necessary to view
the input source. (See page 24.)

INPUT MODE SELECTION ORDER

NOTE: When TV is set to VIDEO and a video signal is not received from the VIDEO INPUT
jack on the jack 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.
