TIPS ON REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

FIRST TIME USE

•S-VIDEO connections are provided for high performance laserdisc players, VCRs etc. that have this feature. Use these con- nections in place of the standard video connection if your device has this feature.

•If your device has only one audio output (mono sound), connect it to the left audio jack on the television.

•Refer to the operating guide of your other electronic equipment for additional information on connecting your hook-up cables.

•A single VCR can be used for VCR #1 and VCR #2, but note that a VCR cannot record its own video or line output (INPUT: 3 in the example on page 11). Refer to your VCR operating guide for more information on line input-output connections.

•You may use VIDEO or S-VIDEO inputs to connect to Input 3, Input 4 or Input 5, but only one of these may be used at a time.

•Connect only 1 component (VCR, DVD player, camcorder, etc.) to each input jack.

•COMPONENT: Y-PBPR(Input 1 &2) connections are provided for high performance components, such as DVD players and set- top-boxes. Use these connections in place of the standard video connection if your device has this feature. Input 2 accepts both composite and component video signals.

•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.

•Your component outputs may be labeled Y-CBCR. In this case, connect the components CB output to the TV’s PB input and the components CR output to the TV’s PR input.

•You may use composite video signal for Input 2~Input 5.

•It may be necessary to adjust TINT to obtain optimum picture quality when using the Y-PBPRinputs (see page 39).

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