ANTENNA/CABLE Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from the antenna, cable, cable box, or if using the examples on pages 12-17, a VCR.

AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT Connect a VCR or DVD-recorder to record programs from the Cable or Antenna Input (excluding component video formats) while the TV is turned on. You must leave the TV on the same channel you are recording. You can also connect an amplifier or audio receiver for improved sound quality or an external video monitor.

V (Video) Provides composite video connection. The connector is usually yellow.

FIXED AUDIO L/R Provides fixed-level audio output from the TV. This audio output is in sync with the video signal coming from the monitor's Video output.

Note: When recording from this output, remember to tune to the channel you want to record.

Important: If you're watching a program on the HDTV Monitor's screen and listening to the audio from the FIXED AUDIO output jacks, you might notice that the video and audio are slightly out of sync. The HDTV Monitor processes incoming video to optimize it for display, which results in a small delay before displaying the video on screen. The Video output jack does not process video for display, so it does not have the same delay. The FIXED AUDIO output jacks are in sync with the video signal from the Video output.

If you're using an external audio receiver to accompany video on the HDTV Monitor's screen, use the VARIABLE AUDIO output jacks, described below.

VARIABLE AUDIO Provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels are controlled by the volume controls on the TV and remote control. This audio output is in sync with the video displayed on the HDTV Monitor's screen.

SUBWOOFER Provides lower bass audio frequencies from the TV to a subwoofer.

Note: If you’ve connected a subwoofer, make sure you set the External Subwoofer option in the Sound menu. Go to page 44 for instructions.

COMPONENT INPUTS Lets you connect a component video source, such as a DVD player.

CMP1 Y PB PR (Component Video) Provides optimum picture quality because the video is separated into three signals. Use three video-grade cables for the connection. When using CMP1 Y PB PR, make sure to connect left and right audio cables to the CMP1 L and R Audio Input jacks.

CMP1 L/R (Audio) Provides left and right audio connections. The left audio connector is usually white, and the right audio connector is usually red.

CMP2 Y PB PR, and L and R Audio Allows you to connect a second component video source. Their description is the same as CMP1 above. When using CMP2 Y PB PR, make sure you connect the left and right audio cables to the CMP2 Audio jacks.
