EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS 
CONNECTING EXTERNAL AUDIO AMPLIFIER 
To control the audio level of an external audio amplifier with the remote control, connect the system as shown 
below. 
 
NOTE: To prevent damage to the speaker and distorted sound, set the volume control of the audio amplifier lower 
and adjust the sound using the remote control of the TV set. 
CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO SOURCES 
The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, camcorder, and laserdisc player to your TV set is dependent 
on the model and features of each component. Check the owner's manual of each component for the location of 
video and audio inputs and outputs. 
The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. However, you may need to modify them to 
accommodate your particular assortment of components and features. For best performance, video and audio 
cables should be made from coaxial shielded wire. 
Before Operating External Video Source 
The input mode is changed every time the INPUT button is pressed as shown below. Connect external source to 
the INPUT terminal, then press the INPUT button as necessary to view the input source (see page 24). 
 
NOTE:  When TV is set to VIDEO and a video signal is not received from VIDEO INPUT JACK on the jack panel 
of the TV (i.e., VCR/laserdisc player, etc. is not connected or the video device is OFF), the screen will be grey-
blue. 
CONNECTING MONAURAL AUDIO VCR OR VIDEO DISC PLAYER 
1. Connect the cable from the VIDEO OUT of the VCR or the laserdisc player to the INPUT (VIDEO) jack on the 
TV below. 
2. Connect the cable from the AUDIO OUT of the VCR or the laserdisc player to the INPUT (MONO)/L(AUDIO)
