To view images coming from external equipment, select the input source using
INPUT 1 to INPUT 6 or PC on the remote control (page 13) or INPUT on the flat
screen TV.
Caution
• To protect all equipment, always unplug the flat screen TV from the power
outlet before connecting to a DVD player, set-top box, VCR, game console,
personal computer, camcorder or other external equipment.
