Many televisions have a dedicated "Input" button on the remote control or television to change the video source, such as when you want to watch a DVD or play a video game. Some Philips TV models do not have an "Input" button. Depending on your television model, you need to use a different dedicated button or access the menu system to change the input. The procedure differs, depending on whether you are using the TV's remote control or the control buttons on the television.
