Use the INPUT button to see what’s playing on
the components that are connected to your TV
The INPUT button on the remote control enables you to scroll through the available
Video Input Channels (VID1, VID2, VID3, FRNT, and CMPNT) so you can see the
content from the component that is connected to the corresponding Input Jack on
the back of the TV.
Each time you press the INPUT button on the remote, the TV tunes to the next
Video Input Channel. Press the INPUT button until you find the input that
corresponds to the jacks you used to connect the component. For example: if you
connected your VCR to the INPUT2 jacks on the back of your TV, you would press
the INPUT on the remote until VID2 appears in the channel banner.
Watch the channel banner to see the input sources
change each time you press the INPUT button on
the remote.

There are other ways of selecting a video input channel that might be faster:
• Program the component buttons on the remote control (VCR1, VCR2, and/or
DVD) to automatically tune to the correct video input channel when you press
the corresponding component button. See Auto Tuning on page 115.
• After pressing INPUT on the remote, enter the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 to tune to
VID1, VID2, VID3, FRNT, or CMPNT video input channels respectively.
• After pressing INPUT on the remote, press GUIDE (a list of your Input Jacks
and corresponding video input channels appears). Press the arrow buttons on
the remote to highlight the appropriate video input channel, and press OK to
tune to that channel.
