CONNECTING EXTERNAL AUDIO AMPLIFIER
To control the audio level of an external audio amplifier with the remote control, connect the system as shown
below.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the speaker and distorted sound, set the volume control of the audio amplifier lower
and adjust the sound using the remote control of the TV set.

CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO SOURCES

The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, camcorder, and laserdisc player to your TV set 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.

blue.
