method may be different from the diagrams. Also the device settings may need to change
depending on the connection method.

If you are not connecting any other devices, skip step 4 and perform step 5.
· Use the headphones with a stereo mini jack (3.5 mm in diameter). When you connect the
headphones, the TV speakers go off.

TV. You can dub them onto the VCR connected to the OUTPUT terminal.
(The OUTPUT terminal cannot output S-VIDEO signals or component video signals. Also it
cannot output any signals when the TV is turned off.)
· Connect components outputting a component signal (Y/CB/CR signal), such as a DVD player,
to the VIDEO-2 terminal, and set VIDEO-2 SET function to "COMPONENT". (See page 14.)
· The following illustrations are for the AV-21V311/AV-21V331/AV-25V311/AV-25V331. Your
TV's front and rear panels may not look exactly like the illustrations.
