CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO SOURCES
The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, camcorder, laserdisc player, and DVD player to your TV set is dependent on the model and features of each component. Check the owner’s manual of each component for the location of video and audio inputs and outputs.
The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. However, you may need to modify them to accommodate your particular assortment of components and features. For best performance, video and audio cables should be made from coaxial shielded wire.
Before Operating External Video Source
The input mode is changed every time the INPUT button is pressed as shown below. Connect an external source to the INPUT terminal, then press the INPUT button as necessary to view the input source. (see page 20)
