Front Input Jacks
The TV has front input jacks for convenience in connecting a camcorder, digital camera, or video game system. Look for a hinged door and press to open the cover.
Notes: When you plug in headphones, the TV’s internal speakers are muted. Use the VOL up or down button to control the volume.
When connecting a device that uses a monaural cable, such as some camcorders, use the L/MONO input jack to get sound from both speakers.
