computer and camcorder.
To view images coming from external equipment, select the input

INPUT buttons on the remote control (page 13) or
INPUT 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, personal computer, camcorder or
other external equipment.

carefully before making connections.
• Unless stated otherwise, the connecting cables shown in the
