The Front of Your TV

Front/Side Input Jacks

The TV has front/side 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. Some models have touch sensor buttons. Please note the illustration below is just an example of how these jacks might appear.

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.

Your HDTV’s lamp has a cool-down period when the TV is turned off, and a warm up period when the TV is turned on. If you try to turn the TV on during a cool-down, you will hear audio and then the picture will be displayed after a few moments. This could take up to one minute. For different light status of the indicator, see above.

channel banner will appear on screen. The illuminated buttons are touch sensors, press them to control your TV.
