Explanation of Jacks

This section describes the jacks and cables you might use to make connections. There are several ways to connect components to your TV.

Different jacks and cables provide a different level of performance. It’s important to remember the different degrees of picture improvement for comparison. The RGB/YPbPr (component) jack is considered an excellent improvement; S-Video and Video (composite) jacks are considered very good; while the Antenna/Cable connection is good.

•S-Video In The S-Video (super video) jack provides better picture quality than the regular video jack because the color (chrominance, also called chroma) part of the signal is separated from the black and white (luminance) part of the picture.

If a component you’re connecting to your TV (like a DVD player) has an S-VIDEO jack, connect the DVD player to the TV with an S-Video cable (not provided) for better quality picture.

Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cables to the VID1 Audio In jacks because the S-Video cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

•Audio In R Provides right audio connection. The right audio connector is usually red.

•Audio In L/mono Provides left audio connection. The left audio connector is usually white.

Note: If your component has only one output for audio (mono), connect it to the L/Mono Audio jack on the TV and don’t connect the R Audio part of the cable. In this case, you need to change a setting to hear sound from both speakers. Go to the Sound menu, highlight Sound Type and then choose Mono.

•Video In Provides composite video connection. The video connector is usually yellow.

Antenna/Cable Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from the antenna, cable, or cable box.
