computer and camcorder.
To view images coming from external equipment, select the input
source using the

(page 14) or INPUT on the plasma television.

• To protect all equipment, always unplug the plasma television
from the power outlet before connecting to a decoder, VCR,
DVD player, game console, personal computer, camcorder or

carefully before making connections.
