CENTER SPEAKER INPUT
• INTERNAL SPEAKER SOURCE - TV / EXT AMP Switch
- TV Position Sound comes from TV’s internal speakers.
- EXT AMP Position Internal speakers are used for an external center
channel. When an external audio/video receiver’s center channel
output is connected to the TV’s center channel input, center channel
audio comes out of the TV’s internal speakers.
• CENTER CHANNEL TERMINALS Connect the audio/video receiver’s
center channel output to the TV’s center channel input. Switch the
INTERNAL SPEAKER SOURCE to EXT AMP position.
VIDEO/AUDIO INPUTS
VIDEO INPUT 1/AUDIO INPUT 1 Connect an NTSC (analog) component.
• V (VIDEO) provides composite video connection and connector is usually
yellow.
• L/MONO AUDIO provides left audio connection and connector is usually
white.
Note: If your component has only one output for audio (mono), connect
it to the left (white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don’t connect the
right audio part of the cable.
• R AUDIO provides right audio connection and connector is usually red.
• S-VIDEO lets you connect an S-Video cable for better video quality picture
to a component with S-Video capability, such as a VCR or DVD player.
When using S-Video, make sure to connect the two audio cables as well as
the S-Video connector.
VIDEO INPUT 2/AUDIO INPUT 2 Provides connection to a second NTSC
(analog) video component such as a VCR. The jacks are as described for INPUT 1.
