Using with other equipment

You can connect many types of external equipment to your plasma television, like a set top box, VCR, DVD player, personal computer, game console, and camcorder.

To view images coming from external equipment, select the input source using INPUT 1 to INPUT 6 or PC on the remote control unit (page 14) or INPUT on the plasma television.

Caution

To protect all equipment, always unplug the plasma television from the power outlet before connecting to a set top box, VCR, DVD player, personal computer, game console, camcorder, or other external equipment.

Note

Unless stated otherwise, the connecting cables shown in the illustrations are readily available commercially, but are not supplied with this product.

Refer to the relevant operation manual (DVD player, personal computer, etc.) carefully before making connections.

Note

Signal priority for the INPUT 1 terminals is (1) Component video, (2) S-Video, (3) Video.

Connect only the type of video cable that will actually be used.

Refer to your set top box operation manual for the signal types available.

Connecting a DVD player

Use the INPUT 2 terminal when connecting to a DVD player and other audiovisual equipment.

Use either a component, S-Video or standard video cable for the video signal. Use a stereo audio cable for the audio. (If you’re using the standard video input, you can use a red/white/yellow audio/ video cable.)
