INSTALLATION
Optional Equipment Connections
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING USE OF VIDEO GAMES,
COMPUTERS, DSS OR OTHER FIXED IMAGE DISPLAYS.
The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent “shadow image” on
the picture tube. This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a
stationary fixed image. This type of irreversible picture tube deterioration can be limited by
observing the following steps:
A.   Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
B.   Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
C.  Turn the power off when not in actual use.
Note:The marking or retained image on the picture tube resulting from fixed image
use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by Warranty. This
product is not designed to display fixed image patterns for extended periods
of time.
VCR Connection 
(For models CT-27SX11/U)
VCRs, video disc players, video game equipment, and DSS equipment can also be
connected to the video inputs. See the optional equipment manual for more
information. 
Note:VIDEO 1input is a dual-purpose input. It is primarily intended for connection
with 480i devices such as a DVD player using the Y P
B PR component video
jacks and Audio L & R jacks. However, it can also be connected to
conventional composite video sources such as a VCR, using only the Y/Video
jack and Audio L & R jacks. The on-screen label will display Component or
Video 1 depending on which source is connected.  
 
Procedure
1. Connect equipment as shown to front or rear Audio/Video input jacks.
2. Select the Video mode by pressing TV/VIDEO button.
3. Operate optional equipment as instructed in equipment manual.
