CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO SOURCES
The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, camcorder, laserdisc player, and DVD 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 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.
Before Operating External Video Source
The input mode is changed every time the INPUT button on the Front Panel or the Remote Control is pressed as shown below. Connect
an external source to the INPUT terminals, then press the INPUT button as necessary to view the input source. (See page 27)
NOTE: When the Rear Projection TV is set to VIDEO and a video signal is not received from the VIDEO INPUT jack on the back
panel of the Rear Projection TV (i.e., VCR/laserdisc player, etc. is not connected or the video device is OFF), the TV set
will appear to be OFF.
CONNECTING A MONAURAL AUDIO VCR OR LASERDISC PLAYER
1. Connect the cable from the VIDEO OUT of the VCR or the laserdisc player to the INPUT (VIDEO) jack on the TV set below.
2. Connect the cable from the AUDIO OUT of the VCR or the laserdisc player to the INPUT (MONO)/L(AUDIO) jack.
3. Press the INPUT button on the Front Panel or Remote Control to view the program from the VCR or the laserdisc player. The VIDEO
icon disappears automatically after approximately eight seconds.
