The Front of Your TV

Button Lighting

Your HDTV with DLP technology has a top-light feature above the buttons on the front of the TV. You can adjust the brightness (including off) of the light through the TV’s menu system. Go to the Main Menu, highlight and select Preferences. Go to the Button Lighting feature and make your adjustments by using the left and right arrow buttons on the remote.

Front Input Jacks

The TV has front input jacks for convenience in connecting a camcorder, digital camera, or video game: an S-VIDEO input, one set of composite AUDIO/VIDEO inputs, and a headphone jack. Look for a hinged door and press to open the cover. Please note the illustration below is just an example of how jacks might appear.

Notes: When you plug in headphones, the TV’s internal and external speakers, Fixed/Variable Audio Output, and Digital Audio Output are automatically turned off.

When connecting a component that uses a monaural cable, such as some camcorders, use the Left (mono) input jack to get sound from both speakers.
