TIPS ON REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

♦♦COMPONENT Y-PbPr(COMPONENT 1 & 2) or HDMI (1 & 2) connections are provided for high performance DVD players, VCRs etc. that have this feature. Use these connections in place of the standard video connection if your device has this feature.

♦♦For additional information on connecting your other electronic devices, please refer to the device’s owners guide.

♦♦Connect only 1 component (VCR, DVD player, camcorder, etc.) to each input jack.

♦♦Your component outputs may be labeled Y, B-Y, and R-Y. In this case, connect the components B-Y output to the TV’s Pb input and the components R-Y output to the TV’s Pr input.

♦♦Your component outputs may be labeled Y-CbCr. In this case, connect the components Cb output to the TV’s Pb input and the components Cr output to the TV’s Pr input.

♦♦It may be necessary to adjust TINT to obtain optimum picture quality when using the Y-PbPrinputs. (See page 24).

♦♦When using a HDMI input from a set top box, it is recommended to use a 1080p, 1080i or 720p input signal.

♦♦When the HDMI input is a 1080p signal, it is recommended that the length of the cable should be less than 5 meters.

NOTES	• Completely insert connection cord plugs when connecting to side panel jacks. If you do not, the picture and/or sound
	may be abnormal.

•Cable plugs are often color-coded. Match colors of plugs and jacks, i.e. connect red to red, white to white, etc.
