CONNECTION USING THE FRONT AUDIO/VIDEO IN JACKS
The optimal use for the front A/V jacks are to connect an A/V component that is used only occasionally, such as a
camcorder or video game. Connect the Audio/Video output jacks of the external unit to the Audio 2 Input jacks and the
Video 2 Input jack.
To access the unit connected to
these jacks, press the INPUT
button repeatedly until AV2
appears on the screen. To
resume normal TV viewing,
simply press the INPUT button
repeatedly until the TV channel
appears in the display.

FAQs:
My external unit has only 1 audio jack, but this unit has two Audio Input jacks, how do I connect it?
Simply connect it to the “L (Mono)” Audio Input jack, but the sound will be monaural.
How do I watch the external unit connected to the Audio/Video Input jacks?
Press the INPUT button repeatedly until AV2 appears on the screen, then start the external source.
Are the cables included?
No, the cables are sold separately, visit your local electronics store.
RECEIVING ATSC CHANNELS
You can connect to an outdoor antenna to receive the free ATSC digital channels.
The size of the antenna you will need will depend on how far away the television station broadcast antennas are
from you. The further the distance the larger the antenna you need. If your unsure of how far you are you can go
to http://www.antennaweb.org and put in your zip code to search their database for your distance and the direction
of the broadcast antennas. If you’re fairly close you may be able to get away with just a small antenna that will sit
on top of your TV set. If you need a larger antenna you can either put one in the attic or outside on an antenna
mast.
