PANEL OVERVIEWS: STANDARD INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

You can connect a wide range of video and audio devices to your TV, in various ways.

This page and the next one provide an overview of signal compatibilities and the types of devices you can connect to the jacks. Connection examples follow on subsequent pages. See pages 1 and 2 of the Quick Use and Setup Guide that came with your set for exam- ples of basic connections. You may also want to refer to the user instructions that came with each particular device for information on con- nections.

	YPbPr (component video input [CVI]
	jacks)—compatible with 480i signals
2 only. Use to connect accessories having
