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.
