Additional preparation
Equipment which can output the
S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal) such
as an S-VHS VCR
Connect the equipment to an EXT terminal
(but not the EXT-1 terminal).
You can choose between an S-VIDEO signal
(Y/C signal) and a regular video signal
(composite signal). For details of how to
operate the equipment, see “y (S-VIDEO
input)” on page 25.
T-V LINK compatible VCR
Be sure to connect the T-V LINK compatible
VCR to the EXT-2 terminal. If not, the T-V
LINK function will not work properly.
• When connecting a T-V LINK compatible
VCR to the EXT-2 terminal, be sure to
connect the decoder to the VCR. If not,
the T-V LINK function may not work
properly. After you have stored TV
channels in the programme numbers (PR)
list, set the DECODER (EXT-2) function
for the programme number (PR) to ON to
unscramble a scrambled TV channel. For
details, see “Using the DECODER (EXT-
2) function” on page 35.
Connecting headphones
Connect the headphones with a stereo mini-
jack (3.5 mm diameter) to the headphone
jack at the TV front panel.
• When you connect the headphones, the
TV speakers go off.
Video or sound signal output from
the EXT-2 terminal
You can change over the output of the video/
sound signal from the EXT-2 terminal. This
is useful when you want to dub the video/
sound from another device onto the VCR
connected to the EXT-2 terminal. For details
on how to do this, see “DUBBING” on
page 26.
TV output from the EXT-1 terminal
The video/sound signal of a TV channel you
are viewing is always output from the EXT-1
terminal.
• Changing over a programme number (PR)
also changes over the TV output from the
EXT-1 terminal.
• The video/sound signal from an EXT
terminal cannot be output.
• Teletext programmes cannot be output.
Connecting speakers or an amplifierSee the audio equipment diagram, and
connect the audio equipment to the TV.
Before connecting anything:
• Read the manuals that came with the
amplifier and speakers.
• Turn the TV and amplifier off.
• Use impedance 8-ohm type speakers for
surround speakers.
• To prevent magnetism from the speakers
affecting the TV screen, use magnetic-
shielded speakers for the front speakers.
• Connecting cables are not supplied.
• Pay attention to the positive + and
negative - polarities when connecting the
surround speakers to your TV.
• For the best effect, position the surround
speakers at least 1 metre above the heads
of seated viewers.
• If you want to use your external Dolby
Surround decoder, connect it to the
AUDIO OUT terminals. Then set all
surround functions of the TV to OFF.
• The output from the AUDIO OUT
terminal is not cut off connecting
headphones to the TV.
Audio amplifier and front speakers
You can use external front speakers to listen
to the TV sound instead of the TV speakers.
For details of how to operate them, see
“Turning the TV’s speakers off” on page 36.
Also note that when you want to use the PRO
LOGIC 3D-PHONIC function, you can set it
to issue sound from both of the TV speakers
and external front speakers so that you can
listen to spoken dialogues more clearly and
easily. For details, see “Using the TV
speakers as the centre speakers for the PRO
LOGIC 3D-PHONIC function” on page 37.
• You cannot cut the sound from the front
speaker even if you connect a headphone
to the TV.
