Connecting External Video Sources - Hitachi 51F710G 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
Connect an external source to the INPUT terminal, then
press the INPUTS button to show the INPUTS menu.
Use the CURSOR PAD to select the CABLE, AIR or
INPUT of your choice. Then press the SELECT button
to confirm your choice (see page 21).
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.
