Viewing the Picture from the Connected Device

plugged in.

3. Repeatedly press the INPUT button on the remote control until you see VID1 (if

displayed at the bottom of the TV's screen. To go back to viewing TV channels, use the

Note: If the picture from the DVD player appears black and white and your device

you press INPUT until you see VID1 displayed at the bottom of the TV's screen.
