The Front of Your TV

Front Input Jacks

The TV has front 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. 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 component 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 the one on the front of 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.

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.
