VIDEO/AUDIO INPUTS

INPUT 1 COMPOSITE INPUT Connect an NTSC (analog) device. These jacks are used for most audio/video connections between devices. The audio/video jacks are often color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio).

R Audio Provides right audio connection and connector is usually red.

L Audio Provides left audio connection and connector is usually white.

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

Tip

Inputs 2 and 3 can be used as either component video (Y PB PR ) inputs, composite video (Y/Video) inputs, or S-Video inputs.

CABLE INPUT

ANTENNA INPUT

INPUT 2 COMPONENT/COMPOSITE INPUT Provides connection to a second NTSC (analog) video device with either composite or component outputs such as a VCR or DVD player.

R Audio Provides right audio connection and connector is usually red.

L Audio Provides left audio connection and connector is usually white.

• Y/Video PB PR Unlike a single video input, component (Y PB PR) video maintains the video signal as three separate parts through these three jacks. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the Y PB PR connections. Accepts 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i signals. If you’re connecting to a device with a Video jack instead, you can still use the Y/Video jack.

Note: Also, remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the Y, Pb, Pr cables carry only the picture signal, not the sound.

S-VIDEOLets you connect an S-Video cable for better picture quality to a device with S-Video capability, such as a VCR or DVD player. When using S-Video, make sure to connect the two audio cables as well as the S-Video connector.

The S-Video jack provides better picture quality than the composite video jacks because the color (chrominance, also called chroma) part of the signal is separated from the black and white (luminance) part of the picture.

INPUT 3 COMPONENT/COMPOSITE INPUT Provides connection to a second optional component video source, such as a DVD player or satellite receiver. The jacks are the same as described above for INPUT 2.

CABLE INPUT Used to connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from cable or a cable box.

ANTENNA INPUT Used to connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from an off-air antenna.
