The Front of Your TV

Front/Side Input Jacks

The TV has front/side input jacks for convenience in connecting a camcorder, digital camera, or video game system. Look for a hinged door and press to open the cover. Some models have touch sensor buttons. Please note the illustration below is just an example of how these jacks might appear.

Notes: When you plug in headphones, the TV’s internal speakers are muted. Use the VOL up or down button to control the volume.

When connecting a device that uses a monaural cable, such as some camcorders, use the L/MONO input jack to get sound from both speakers.

Notes: The front panel illustration shows a typical front panel layout. The exact look may be different from your TV.

If you use the Front Button Block feature, the front panel no longer provides access to the menus. The Front Button Block feature disables all front panel buttons but not the jacks. For more information, see Chapter 3.

CH6 Scans down through the channel list. In the menu system, it moves the highlight down and adjusts menu controls.

(Power button and indicator) Turns the TV on and off. The indicator lights when TV is on. Your HDTV’s lamp has a cool-down period when the TV is turned off, and a warm up period when the TV is turned on. If you try to turn the TV on during a cool-down, you will hear audio and then the picture will be displayed after a few moments. This could take up to one minute. For different light status of the indicator, see above.

(Available on some models) Press this icon (or the power button) to illuminate the buttons on the front panel. The

channel banner will appear on screen. The illuminated buttons are touch sensors, press them to control your TV.
