COMPOSITE INPUTS Lets you connect another component such as a VCR, DVD player, or laserdisc player. Its AUDIO jacks are the same as described for CMP1 above.

VID1 S-VIDEOProvides better picture quality than the video jacks (VID1 and 2 Video) because the color part of the picture is separated from the black and white part of the picture. When using VID1 S-VIDEO, make sure to connect left and right audio cables to the VID1 L/MONO and R Audio Input jacks.

VID1 V (Video) Provides composite video connection. The video connector is usually yellow.

VID1 L/R (Audio) Provides left and right audio connections. The left audio connector is usually white, and the right audio connector is usually red.

VID2 S-VIDEO, V and L/MONO and R Audio Allows you to connect a component such as a VCR, DVD player, or laserdisc player. Their description is the same as VID1 above.

Note: For each VID jack group (VID1 and VID2), you may connect either an S-Video or Video cable. Do not connect both at the same time in either of the VID jack groups.

DVI-HDTV Input Lets you connect an HDTV Tuner with a DVI output.

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) Provides an uncompressed, digital video interface developed for high-bandwidth digital connection. It supports the overlay of high- resolution graphics needed by some electronic program guide navigation and other interactive services. DVI, when combined with HDCP (High bandwidth Digital Content Protection) technology, creates a protected digital connection. The DVI-HDTV connection is designed to display either progressive scan (480p or 720p) or HDTV (1080i) signals at a bandwidth of up to 1.78 Gigabits per second.

L (Audio)/R (Audio) Provides left and right audio connections when using the DVI jack. The left audio connector is usually white, and the right connector is usually red.

Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the DVI cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

Wired IR This jack is for connecting a wired remote control system, which is primarily for professional installers. If you’re using the remote that was included with your TV, don’t plug anything into this jack.

Front Input Jacks

The TV has front input jacks for convenience in connecting a camcorder, digital camera, or video game system. Look for a hinged door and press to open the cover. Please note the illustration below is just an example of how these jacks might appear.
