4. COMPONENT Inputs

(Audio and Video)

Y Pb Pr (480i/480p/720p/1080i)

Use these jacks to connect devices with component video outputs, such as DVD players, external HDTV receivers, or compatible video game systems. Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility.

5. HDMI™ 1 and 2

Do not connect a computer to either TV HDMI jack.

The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video formats and PCM digital audio format. For PC video, use the PC-DVIinput instead.

Use these inputs to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD player. These inputs support 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video formats.

These inputs can also accept DVI video inputs. To connect

aDVI input, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter or cable plus analog audio cables. Connect the analog audio cables to the HDMI/DVI AUDIO inputs on the TV to receive left and right stereo audio from your DVI device.

These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Pro- tection) compliant.

These inputs are certified for proper interoper- ability with other products certified by Simplay™.

6. HDMI/DVI AUDIO

Use these analog audio inputs when connecting DVI video devices to the TV’s HDMI jacks. Unlike HDMI, DVI does not carry audio information on the same cable.

For analog audio from a personal computer, use the PC-DVI AUDIO jacks instead.

7. PC-DVI

Do not connect a TV video source to the PC-DVI input.

PC-DVIis a DVI-I input compatible with both DVI-A (analog) and DVI-D (digital) inputs. Connect your personal computer’s HDMI, DVI, or VGA video output to this jack. An adapter or converter cable may be required. Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility. To hear audio from the computer, connect analog audio cables from the computer to the PC-DVI AUDIO jacks.

8. PC-DVI AUDIO

jacks allow you to send left and right analog audio from your computer to the TV.

9. IEEE 1394/DTVLINK™

These jacks allow the TV to connect to external IEEE 1394 digital products by means of a single cable. See chapter 6, “NetCommand Operations” for detailed information regarding IEEE 1394 connections and recording.

10. MONITOR OUT

Use these composite video and left/right audio jacks to send analog video and audio signals to an external recording device such as a VCR. To make recordings from this output, the TV must be in normal full-screen mode rather than in Split Screen mode.

You can watch another device while recording, but not another channel.

From this output you can record audio and video signals from ANT 1, ANT 2, INPUT 1-3, and IEEE 1394 devices.

Digital signals from ANT 1, ANT 2, and IEEE 1394 devices are converted to analog video and audio signals.

Some signals cannot be recorded because of copy-protection flags in the content.

11.AUDIO OUT LEFT/RIGHT

AUDIO OUT LEFT/RIGHT jacks send analog audio of the program currently shown on the screen to an A/V sur- round sound receiver or stereo system. Digital audio from digital channels, FireWire® (IEEE 1394/DTVLink) devices and HDMI devices is converted to analog audio by the TV. If using an analog A/V receiver or stereo system, this is the only audio connection needed between it and the TV.

12. DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

This output sends Dolby Digital or PCM digital audio to your digital A/V surround sound receiver. Analog audio from analog channels and devices is converted by the TV to PCM digital audio. If you have a digital A/V receiver, in most cases this is the only audio connection needed between the TV and your A/V receiver.

13. IR Emitter NetCommand®

IR Emitters connected to this jack are used by the TV’s NetCommand system to control external IR remote con- trolled analog devices such as cable boxes, VCRs, DVDs, satellite receivers and audio receivers. This system also coordinates with the TV Guide On Screen® system to control cable boxes and to activate the record feature of your VCR.

Use the PC-DVI AUDIO jacks in conjunction with the PC-DVIvideo input from a personal computer. These
