This made no sense to me so I had to look it up. It seems that this TV has
some sort of separate AVC system that plugs into the TV. This separate
system has all of the standard inputs, and plugs into the TV through what
looks like a DVI plug. Do you have this AVC system box? If so, it's input 4
looks like a standard HDMI input. If you don't have the box, then you may
be SOL.
