AUDIO/VIDEO 1, Monitor OUT, PC 1 Audio Input

REAR PANEL JACKS

AUDIO/VIDEO 1, 2

The INPUT button on the front panel will step through each signal source input each time it is pressed. The VID1~VID3 buttons on the remote control will select each video source each time they are pressed. Use the audio and video inputs to connect external devices, such as VCRs, camcorders, laserdisc players, DVD players etc. (If you have mono sound, insert the audio cable into the left audio jack.)

NOTE: You may use VIDEO, S-VIDEO, or COMPONENT: Y-PBPRInputs to connect to VIDEO 1, 2. But note that only one of these may be used at a time.

COMPONENT INPUT takes priority over S-VIDEO input and S-VIDEO input takes priority over VIDEO input.

MONITOR OUT

These jacks provide fixed audio and video signals which are used for recording. Use the S-VIDEO Output for high quality video output. There is no MONITOR OUT when using COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT.

NOTE: S-VIDEO Output may be used for recording, only when the input is of S-VIDEO type.

S-VIDEO Inputs 1 and 2

Inputs 1 and 2 provide S-VIDEO (Super Video) jacks for connecting equipment with S-VIDEO output capability.

COMPONENT VIDEO Y-PBPRINPUT

Y-PBPRjacks provide for connecting equipment with this capability, such as a DVD player.

NOTE: DO NOT connect standard VIDEO or S-VIDEO when using Y-PBPRinput.

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.

It may be necessary to adjust TINT or turn AUTO COLOR-ON to obtain optimum picture quality when using the Y-PBPRinputs. (see pages 57 and 58)

To ensure no copyright infringement, the MONITOR OUT output will be abnormal, when using the Y-PBPRjacks.

When using the Y-PBPRjacks, Component Y-PBPRsignal will be viewed as a blank PIP sub-picture. (see page 28)

PC 1 AUDIO INPUT

Connect external devices for audio in PC mode. (see page 71)

PC 1 D-SUB INPUT

Use this 15-pin D-Sub Input for your PC connection. (see page 68)

ANTENNA Input/Output

The remote control allows you to switch between two separate 75-Ohm RF antenna inputs, ANT A and ANT B. ANT A input can be displayed as a main picture or sub-picture. ANT B can only be displayed as a main picture. (ANT B cannot be displayed as a sub- picture.) The antenna output labeled “TO CONVERTER” allows the ANT A connection to pass directly to a different source, such as a cable box, only when ANT B is displayed as a main picture.
