Figure 1. Connecting an external HDTV rece iver with
component video connections
Auto Input Sensing
The TV’s Auto Input Sensing feature automatically rec -
ognizes most connections and prompts you to identif y
the type of device connected. See chapter 2, “TV
Setup,” for more on Auto Input Sensing.
Connection Types
Review the connection types available on your input
devices and use inputs that will give the best video
quality. For example, choose HDMI over component
video, and choose component video over S-video or
composite video.
Picture Quality
For best picture quality, route signals directly from the
source device to the TV; avoid routing video signals
through an A/V receiver, for example.
If your cable box or satellite receiver has an HDMI
output, use the connections for HDMI devices
described later in this chapter.
Required: RCA component video cables, lef t/right
analog stereo audio cables.
1. Connect the cable from the outside cable o r satel-
lite service to
CABLE IN
or
SATELLITE IN
on the
cable box or satellite receiver. See your device’s
owner’s guide for instructions and cable compat-
ibility.
2. Connect RCA-type cables from the
Y Pb Pr
outputs on the HDTV cable box or satellite receiver
to
COMPONENT INPUTS
on the TV back panel
#1, matching the colored green, blue, and red
connections.
3. Connect left (white) and right (red) audio cabl es
from the HDTV cable box or satellite receiver to
COMPONENT
INPUTS L (MONO)
and
R
on the TV
back panel #1.
Note:
To hear digital surround sound, connect the digital
audio output from your cable box or satellite re-
ceiver directly to your digital A/V receiver.
Sound Quality
For best surround sound audio quality, route audio
signals from the source device directly to your A /V
receiver or sound system whenever possible.
IMPORTANT
Accessory items su ch as cables, adapters,
splitters, or co mbiners required for T V
