CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO SOURCES
The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, camcorder, laserdisc player to your TV set is dependent on the model and
features of each component. Check the owners 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.

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 23.)
NOTE: When the TV is set to VIDEO and a video signal is not received from the VIDEO INPUTJACK on the jack panel of
the TV (i.e., VCR/laserdisc player, etc. is not connected or the video device is OFF), the screen will be gray-blue.
