Introduction

Front Connection Panel

There are four jacks on the left side on your projection TV that make connecting Audio/Video devices like video games and camcorders very simple.

The jacks are like those found on the back jack connection panel. This means that most equipment that connects to those types of jacks on the rear jackpack, may be connected to the front connection panel.

To use the side jacks as the signal source, select them using Main Input menu as described on page 58. They will be named “Front Video” in the Main Input menu.

If you input both Front Video and S-Video, only the S-Video will work.

If you’re connecting a video game device, make sure to change the picture settings with the EZ Picture option in the Video menu (see page 59).
