SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

ADVANCED CONNECTIONS

Advanced connections give you better sound and video by separating the audio and video signals and enable you to connect multiple components.

This section describes the types of inputs available on the back of your TV and suggests ways you can use them for optimum performance.

Once you have made your connections you will want to program the TV to tune to the correct Video INPUT channel in order to see and hear audio and video from the component. You will program this later in the Interactive Setup.
