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 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 16)
