USING THE AV IN JACK

The AV IN jack on the back of the TV lets you connect a VCR, camcorder, or VCD to the TV. To connect the vid- eo equipment to the TV, you need an Audio/Video adapter plug. (We recom- mend RadioShack Cat. No. 42-2475, not supplied.)

Connect the cable’s red plug into the component’s video output jack and its white plug into the component’s audio output jack. Then, plug the cable’s black mini plug into the TV’s AV IN jack. The TV automatically switches to the AV mode. When you disconnect the video source's signal cord, the TV automatically returns to the TV mode.
