Using with other equipment
You can connect many types of external equipment to your plasma
television, like a decoder, VCR, DVD player, game console, and
camcorder.
To view images coming from external equipment, select the input
source using the INPUT buttons on the remote control (page 14) or the
INPUT button on the plasma television.
Caution
• To protect all equipment, always unplug the plasma television
from the power outlet before connecting to a decoder, VCR, DVD
player, game console, camcorder, or other external equipment.
Note
• Refer to the relevant operation manual (DVD player, etc.) carefully
before making connections.
• Unless stated otherwise, the connecting cables shown in the
illustrations are readily available commercially, but are not
supplied with this product.
Connecting a DVD player
Use the INPUT 2 terminal when connecting to a DVD player and other
audiovisual equipment.
When using a component video cable, select “COMPONENT” in the
“Input Select” menu (see Selecting an input signal type on page 34). In
this case, the SCART cable will carry the audio signal.
