Connecting Accessory Devices to Your TV

JACKS, CABLES, AND CONNECTORS

This page contains descriptions and illustrations of jacks, cables, and connectors

you might use in making connections. The cables and connectors are not supplied with your TV, but you can purchase them at stores that sell electronics. Or you can order them by calling our Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.

Component Video Input Jacks Cables used: component video or A/V with RCA-type phono plugs

Allow you to connect accessory devices such as DVD players. Separating the video into three signals, these inputs provide excellent quality. Be sure to connect the left and right audio cables, because the Y, Pb, Pr jacks receive only the picture signal.

S-Video Jacks

Cable used: S-Video

Provide a higher quality picture than the Video (composite) jacks because the color part of the picture is separated from the black and white portion. Be sure to connect the left and right audio cables, because the S-Video jacks receive only the picture signal.

Video (called composite) Jacks

Cable used:A/V with RCA-type phono plug

Provide better picture performance than the antenna RF input. Be sure to connect the audio cables, because the video jacks receive only the picture signal.

Audio Jacks

Cables used:A/V with RCA-type phono plug

Provide sound for the video inputs. If your accessory device has only one output for audio, connect it to the left (color coded white) audio jack on the TV.

Antenna RF Jack

Cables used: RF coaxial cable (75)

Allows you to connect an antenna, cable TV, or components having only RF outputs to the antenna input on the TV. RF coaxial cables are available in push-on or screw-on type.

Signal Splitter

Allows you to route an antenna or cable TV signal to two inputs.

300- to 75-ohm Twin-lead Adapter

Accepts twin-lead wires from an antenna and allows connection to the antenna input on the TV. If your antenna is already equipped with an RF coaxial cable you will not need this adapter.
