Connecting Accessory Devices to Your TV

PANEL OVERVIEW: STANDARD INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

You can connect a wide range of video and audio devices to your TV, in various ways.

This page and the next one provide an overview of signal compatibilities and the types of devices you can connect to the jacks. Connection examples follow on subsequent pages. See pages 1 and 2 of the Quick Use and Setup Guide that came with your set for exam- ples of basic connections. You may also want to refer to the user instructions that came with each particular device for information on con- nections.

What You Can Connect to the

Standard Panel Jacks

1 ANTENNA IN 75jack—use to con- nect radio-frequency (RF) signals from VHF/UHF antennas or a cable system. These are 480i signals.

2 YPbPr (component video input [CVI] jacks)—compatible with 480i signals only. Use to connect accessories having component video outputs, such as DVD players, laser-disc players, video-game players, satellite receivers, or other devices. Use the INPUT-AV 1 L(eft) and R(ight) AUDIO jacks for sound connec- tions. CVI is not accessible in the PIP window.

3 S-VIDEO (super video) jacks—com- patible with 480i signals only. Use to connect accessories having Super VHS (S-VHS) outputs, such as VCRs, DVD players, laser-disc players, video-game players, satellite receivers, or other devices.

4 VIDEO (composite) jacks (INPUT-AV 1, INPUT-AV 2, and TV’s side jack panel [AV3])—compatible with 480i signals only. Use to connect accessories having composite video outputs, such as VCRs, video-game players, or other devices.

5 AUDIO inputs (INPUT-AV 1, INPUT-AV 2, and TV’s side jack panel [AV3])—use to connect from the audio output jacks on VCRs, DVDs, or other accessories.

6 OUTPUT (VIDEO/AUDIO)—video is compatible with 480i signals only. Use to connect to a VCR to record programs from the TV. Or use the AUDIO outputs to connect to an audio hi-fi system.

7 AMP SWITCH, CENTER CHANNEL AMP INPUT, and SUBWOOFER Output—use to make optional surround-sound connections (see page 11).

8 nHeadphone jack—use to connect headphones for personal listening.
