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
The input mode is changed when the VID1~VID5 button is pressed as shown below. Connect an external source to the INPUT
terminal, then press the VID1~VID5 button as necessary to view the input source (see page 31).
