Connecting external equipment

Connect the equipment to the TV, making the correct rear panel and front panel connections.

Before connecting anything:

•Read the manuals that came with the equipment.

Depending on the equipment, the connection method may be different from the diagram. Also, the equipment settings may need to change depending on the connection method.

•Turn off all the equipment including the TV.

•The “Specifications” on page 48 give the details of the EXT terminals. If you are connecting equipment not listed in the following connection diagram, see the table to choose the best EXT terminal.

•Connecting cables are not supplied.

•When a DVD player is connected to the EXT-4 component terminal, the TV input can be automatically changed to EXT-4 by just turning the power supply of the connected device on. For details, see “COMPONENT AUTO SELECT” in the SET UP menu on page 38.

•If the VCR’s audio output is mono, connect the VCR’s AUDIO OUT (audio output) terminal and the TV’s EXT-5 audio L/ MONO terminal with an audio cable.
