NOTE: To prevent damage to the speaker and distorted sound, set the volume control of the audio
amplifier lower and adjust the sound using the remote control of the TV set.
CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO SOURCES
The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, camcorder, and laserdisc player to your TV set is
dependent on the model and features of each component. Check the owner's manual of each component for
the location of its video and audio inputs and outputs.
The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. However, you may need to modify them to
accommodate your particular assortment of components and features. For best performance, video and
audio cables should be made from coaxial shielded wire.

source to the INPUT terminal, then press the INPUT button as necessary to view the input source. (See

screen will be gray-blue.
