You can use the EXT 3 or 4 (HDMI) terminals when
connecting to a DVD player and other audiovisual
equipment.

You can use the EXT 2 terminal when connecting a
VCR and other audiovisual equipment.
If your VCR supports TV-VCR advanced AV Link
systems, you can connect the VCR to the EXT 2
terminal of the TV using the fully-wired SCART cable.

• TV-VCR advanced AV Link systems may not be compatible

with some external sources.

• It is recommended to connect to the EXT 2 terminal when

using a decoder for ground wave signal input with a VCR.
If EXT 2 signals preset in Auto Installation or Programme
Setup, make sure to set “Decoder” to “EXT2” in the
Programme Setup “Manual Adjust” menu. (See page 13.)

You can use the EXT 1 terminal when connecting a
decoder and other audiovisual equipment.

• In cases when the decoder needs to receive signal from

the TV, make sure to set “Decoder” to “EXT1” in the
Programme Setup “Manual Adjust” menu. (See page 13.)

A game console, camcorder and some other
audiovisual equipment are conveniently connected
using the EXT 3 terminals.

• The priority of the S-VIDEO and VIDEO terminal depends

on the Input Select setting. (See page 16.)

• You can connect the game console to EXT 1 or 3 terminals

to enjoy clearer picture.

This TV incorporates four typical AV Link functions for
smooth connections between the TV and other
audiovisual equipment.

on and plays back the image from the audiovisual
source (e.g. VCR, DVD).

DVD) enters standby mode, so does the TV.
