Antenna Input/Output

The remote control allows you to switch between two separate 75-Ohm RF antenna inputs, ANT A and ANT B. ANT A input can be displayed as a main picture or sub-picture. ANT B can only be displayed as a main picture. (ANT B cannot be displayed as a sub-picture.) The antenna output labeled “TO CONVERTER” allows the ANT A connection to pass directly to a different source such as a cable box, only when ANT B is displayed as a main picture.

Audio/Video Inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4

The VID1~VID4 buttons will select each video source each time they are pressed. Use the audio and video inputs to connect external devices, such as VCRs, camcorders, laserdisc players, DVD players etc. (if you have mono sound, insert the audio cable into the left audio jack.)

NOTE: You may use VIDEO or S-VIDEO inputs to connect to INPUT 3 and 4, but only one of these inputs may be used at a time.

MONITOR OUT

These jacks provide fixed audio and video signals which are used for recording. Use the S-VIDEO Output for high quality video output.

NOTE: S-VIDEO Output may be used for recording, only when the input is of S-VIDEO type.

AUDIO TO HI-FI Output

CENTER IN (Input)

These jacks are for center signals such as Dolby. This feature allows the TV speakers to be used as a center speaker. The TV must be set as a center channel by selecting “TV as Center” on the Internal Speakers Settings of the Audio Menu (see page 51).
