Connections & Setup

The Front of Your TV

Front Inputs

The TV has front inputs for convenience: one set of audio/video inputs, an S-Video and a headphone jack. Locate the jacks either on the front of the TV or on one of the sides. You can access the component you connected to the front of the TV by pressing the INPUT button on your remote until FRNT appears on the screen. The jacks are ideal for using a video game console or a camcorder.

Note: When connecting a device that uses a monaural cable, such as some camcorders, use the Left (mono) input jack to get sound from both speakers.

PHONES Allows you to connect headphones to listen to the sound coming from the TV. To adjust volume control of the headphones, press the VOL > or VOL < button (the volume display appears). Press the arrow up or down button (the headphone volume display appears), then press the right or left arrow button to adjust the headphone volume.

VIDEO (in) Receives video from another component such as a VCR, camcorder or video game console.

L/MONO and R AUDIO Receives audio from another component such as a VCR, camcorder or video game console.

S-VIDEO (in) Allows you to connect an S-Video cable from another component. Make sure you also connect audio cables from the component to the TV.
