Enjoying through External Equipment
You can connect many types of external equipment to your
Plasma Display System, like a DVD player, VCR, and STB (Set

To view images coming from external equipment, select the
input source using the INPUT buttons on the remote control
(page 13) or the INPUT button on the Plasma Display.
• To protect all equipment, always turn off the Plasma Display
before connecting to a DVD player, VCR, STB, or other
external equipment.
• Refer to the relevant instruction manual (STB, VCR, DVD player, etc.)
carefully before making connections.
