Front Input Jacks
The TV has front input jacks for convenience in connecting a camcorder, digital
camera, or video game system. Look for a hinged door and press to open the
cover.
Notes: When you plug in headphones, the TV’s internal speakers are
muted. Use the VOL up or down button to control the volume.
When connecting a device that uses a monaural cable, such as some
camcorders, use the L/MONO input jack to get sound from both speakers.

lamp has a cooldown period when the TV is turned off, and a warm up period when the TV is turned on. If you
try to turn the TV on during a cooldown, you will hear audio and then the picture will be displayed after a few
moments. This could take up to one minute. For different light status of the indicator, see above.
