Connecting to the TV

Set up the TV by connecting cables and the AC power cord.

Choosing the AV connection to use

When connecting optional audiovisual (AV) equipment as signal sources, the connectors on the equipment may limit the type of connection you can use.

When your optional equipment has more than one type of output connector, choose the connection that provides the best-quality playback image.

The following table lists the available optional AV equipment connections on the TV.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) transmits an all-digital signal. This is the recommended choice for high-definition signals, and for playback from a digital set-top box, DVD player, or DVR device.

For a DVI-D device, you can use a DVI cable with a DVI-to-HDMI converter to connect video to the HDMI 1 connector on the TV, and an audio cable to connect audio from the source to the Audio In L and R connectors on the TV.

Use this connection for standard or high-definition video signals in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p input format from a set-top box, DVD player, or other device. This TV does not support Dolby Digital audio input over HDMI. When connecting a set-top box, DVD player, or other device by using the HDMI connector, set the device audio output to PCM format.

Component video (Y, Pb, and Pr) transmits video as three separate signals. Use this connection for standard or high-definition video signals in 480i, 480p, 720p, or 1080i format from a DVD player or other equipment.

S-Videotransmits standard video as separate color and black-and-white image signals, and delivers a sharper image than a composite video connection.

Video In (composite video) transmits standard video as a single signal.

The procedures that follow describe how to connect optional equipment for each type of AV connection, including the audio connections when applicable.
