The front panel jacks are provided as a convenience to allow you to easily connect your video camcorder, digital
camera or Digital Video Camcorder as shown in the following examples:
NOTE: 1. Completely insert connection cord plugs when connecting to left side panel jacks. If you do not, the
played back picture may be abnormal.
2. If you have a S-VHS VCR, use the S-INPUT cable in place of the standard video cable.
3. If you have a mono VCR, insert the audio cable into the left audio jack of your TV.
4. S-VIDEO input takes priority over VIDEO input.
5. If you have a VHS or 8mm camcorder, use the S-VIDEO cable in place of the VIDEO cable.
The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, camcorder, laserdisc player, DVD player, or HDTV Set
Top Box to your Plasma TV 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.
