SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

Making Connections to the Front Panel

You can connect one of many types of devices to the TV’s front panel, such as a video game or camcorder for playback.

To connect a device to the front panel:

1.Open the small front panel door protecting the INPUT 4 jacks.

2.Connect the device’s audio/video outputs to the INPUT 4 audio and video jacks on the TV.

3.If the device has S-Video capability, connect an S-Video cable (instead of the video cable) from the device to the S-VIDEO jack on the TV. If not, skip this step.

4.Press the INPUT button on the remote control until FRNT (or SFRNT if you have connected an S-Video cable) appears in the channel banner.

Below is an example of how you might connect a camcorder for playback.
