The installed components consist of

• The TV mounted on the wall (with built-in speakers)
• The DVD-player in the cabinet
• The VHS-tape player in the cabinet (sitting on the DVD-player)
• The optional amplifier on the shelf beneath the DVD-player in the cabinet

There is also a video cable (coiled up to the left of the DVD-player) and audio cable for laptop computer use.

The TV remote control is pictured to the left. Notice the input button at the top right. That's what you use to select the device whose signal is to appear on the TV screen.

• To play a DVD in the DVD-player, set the input to HDMI2.
• To play a VHS-tape, set the input to AV1.
• For use of the screen with a laptop, set the input to RGB-PC.

Connecting as above will automatically provide sound through the built-in TV speakers for DVD or video tape. The amplifier is available for 2 uses:

• To provide high-volume and hi-fi audio for DVDs.
• To provide audio for any other source such as mp3 player or laptop.

The audio connection for any external device such as an mp3 player or laptop is provided by the cable immediatly to the right of the amplifier in the cabinet (with stereo mini-plug). Plug the stereo mini-plug into your laptop or other device and set the amplifier's input to "AUX". (The amplifier's input is set via the big round knob on the left directly above the rectangular POWER button. See picture below.)

(NOTE: If you want to use the TV's built-in speakers with a laptop presentation, use the gray cable with stereo mini-plug located usually on the left when you look into the cabinet.)

To use the amplifier and external speakers to have high quality sound for a DVD, set the amplifier's input to "DVD". If you do this, you'll probably want to mute the TV's built-in speakers. If you just want to play an audio CD, you can use the DVD player in this way, and of course you don't need to turn the TV on at all.

The volume of the audio from the amplifier is controled by the big round knob on the right. There is a remote for the amplifier which should be found on top of it, but use of the remote is optional.
