Side Panel Connections
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.
There are 2 SIDE panel HDMI jacks provided as a convenience to allow you to easily connect HDMI or DVI signals from a DVD, Set-Top-
Box, Video Game as shown in the following examples (When a DVI product is connected, the use of a separate audio device is necessary
for audio, use an Audio Amplifier and connect to the Audio In jacks).
The SIDE panel VIDEO and S-VIDEO (Only L42A403) jacks are provided as a convenience to allow you to easily connect a Camcorder,
DVD, Video Game and a VCR as shown in the following examples. (When connecting an S-VIDEO device, also connect the audio output
into the Side Audio Input jacks).:
The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, Camcorder, DVD player, or HDTV Set-Top-Box to your LCD TV is dependent on
the model and features of each component. Check the operating guide of each component for the location of video and audio inputs and
outputs.
Before Operating External Video Sources
Connect an external source to one of the INPUT terminals, then press the INPUT button to show the Inputs List. Use the CURSORS ( and
) to select the Input of your choice. Then press the SELECT button to confirm your choice (see page 19).

be abnormal.
Cable plugs are often color-coded. Match colors of plugs and terminals, i.e. connect red to red, white to white, etc. •
