NOTES

• Completely insert connection cord plugs when connecting to side panel jacks. If you do not, the picture and/or sound

may be abnormal.

 

Cable plugs are often color-coded. Match colors of plugs and jacks, i.e. connect red to red, white to white, etc.

The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, Camcorder, DVD player, or HDTV set top box to your LCD TV is dependent on the model and features of each device. Check the owners guide of each device for the location of video and audio inputs and outputs.
