Connecting the Device with Component Video (Advanced)

This connection allows you to connect a device that has Y Pb Pr or Y Cb Cr jacks, for example, a DVD player.

Using the example of a DVD player:

1.If necessary, connect your cable and/or off-air antenna as described on page 6.

2.Connect your Y Pb Pr component video cables.

Connect three video cables or special Y Pb Pr cables to the COMPONENT INPUT (CMP1) Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr jacks on the back of the TV and to the Y Pb Pr or Y Cb Cr outputs on the DVD player.

3.Connect your red and white audio cables.

Connect the audio (red and white) cables to the CMP1 AUDIO R and L jacks on the back of the TV and to the Audio Output jacks on the DVD player.

Viewing the Picture from the Connected Device

1.Plug in the TV (see page 13 for details) and the device, if they aren't already plugged in.

2.Turn on the TV and the device you want to view, for example a DVD player.

3.Repeatedly press the INPUT button on the remote control to scroll through the Video Input Channels until you see VID (if connected to the VIDEO jack) or CMP1 (if connected to the CMP1 jacks) displayed at the bottom of the TV's screen. To go back to viewing TV channels, press the ANTENNA button.

Note: If the picture from the DVD player appears black and white and your device is connected to the VIDEO Input, you might be tuned to the wrong input. Make sure you press INPUT until you see VID displayed at the bottom of the TV's screen.
