be different from your TV.

The Front of Your TV
Front/Side Input Jacks
The TV has front/side input jacks for convenience in connecting a camcorder, digital camera, or video game system.
Look for a hinged door and press to open the cover. Some models have touch sensor buttons. Please note the
illustration below is just an example of how these jacks might appear.
Notes: When you plug in headphones, the TV’s internal speakers are muted. Use the VOL up or down button to
control the volume.
When connecting a device that uses a monaural cable, such as some camcorders, use the L/MONO input jack to get
sound from both speakers.
