NOTE: Completely insert connection cord plugs when connecting to front panel jacks. If you do not, the played back picture may be abnormal. If you have a S-VHS VCR, use the S-INPUT cable in place of the standard video cable.

If you have mono VCR, insert the audio cable into the left channel jack.

1Antenna Input/Output

The remote control allows you to switch between two separate 75-Ohm RF antenna inputs, ANT A and ANT B. ANT A input can be displayed as a main picture or sub-picture. ANT B can only be displayed as a main picture. (ANT B cannot be displayed as a sub-picture.) The antenna output labeled "TO CONVERTER" allows the ANT A connection to pass directly to a different source such as a cable box, when ANT B is displayed as a main picture.

2Audio/Video Inputs 1, 2

The INPUT button will step through each video source and antenna source input each time it is pressed. Use the audio and video inputs to connect external devices, such as VCRs, camcorders, laserdisc players, etc. (If you have mono sound, insert the audio cable into the left channel jack.)

Note: You may use VIDEO, S-VIDEO, or COMPONENT: Y-CbCr inputs to connect to Input 2, note that only one of these may be used at a time.

3Monitor Out

These jacks provide fixed audio and video signals which are used for recording.

4Wireless Out

These jacks provide variable audio output to a set of wireless speakers. They can also be used for another stereo system amplifier. With this connection, the audio can be controlled by the television's main volume and also by an independent volume feature found in the THEATER-WIRELESS SOUND menu.

5Audio to Hi-Fi

These jacks provide variable audio output to a separate stereo amplifier. With this connection, the audio to the stereo can be controlled by the television's main volume. Use these jacks for the SURROUND Left and Right channels. (See page 17.)

6S-Video Inputs 1 and 2

Inputs 1 and 2 provide S-Video (Super Video) jacks for connecting equipment with S-Video output capability.

7Component: Y-CbCr Input 2

Input 2 provides Y-CbCr jacks for connecting equipment with this capability, such as a DVD player.

Note: DO NOT connect standard VIDEO or S-VIDEO to Input 2 when using Y-CbCr input.

When using the Y-CbCr input jacks, connect your components audio output to the TV's Input 2 Left and Right Audio input jacks.

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 Cb input and the components R-Y output to the TV's Cr input.

It may be necessary to adjust TINT or turn AUTO COLOR-ON to obtain opimum picture quality when using the Y-CbCr inputs. (See pages 49 and 50)
