Connecting External Video Sources - Hitachi 51F710 Operating Manual

CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO SOURCES

The exact arrangement you use to connect the VCR, camcorder, laserdisc player, DVD player, or HDTV Set Top Box 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 particu-
lar assortment of components and features. For best performance, video and audio cables should be made from coaxial shielded
wire.
Before Operating External Video Source
Connect an external source to the INPUT terminal, then press the INPUTS button to show the INPUTS menu. Use the CURSOR PAD
to select the Antenna and Input of your choice. Then press the SELECT button to confirm your choice (see page 24).
NOTE: When the TV is set to VIDEO and a video signal is not received from the VIDEO INPUT JACK on the back panel
of the TV (i.e., VCR/laserdisc player, etc. is not connected or the video device is OFF), the set will appear to be OFF.
CONNECTING A MONAURAL AUDIO SOURCE TO INPUT1~INPUT5
1. Connect the cable from the VIDEO OUT of the VCR or the laserdisc player to the INPUT (VIDEO) jack, as shown on the TV set

2. Connect the cable from the AUDIO OUT of the VCR or the laserdisc player to the INPUT (MONO)/L(AUDIO) jack.
3. Press the INPUTS button, then select INPUT 1 from the INPUTS menu to view the program from the VCR or the laserdisc player.
The VIDEO OSD label disappears automatically after approximately four seconds.
