INPUT 1 COMPOSITE INPUT Connect an NTSC (analog) component. These jacks are used for most audio/video connections between components. 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.

•S-VIDEOlets you connect an S-Video cable for better picture quality to a component 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 2 COMPONENT/COMPOSITE INPUT Provides connection to a second NTSC (analog) video component with either composite or component outputs such as a VCR.

•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 component with a Video jack instead, you can still use the Y/Video jack. Go to the Connections menu, select Video Input Source and choose Composite video as your source. Go to page 51 for more information.

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

PIP can only be displayed from component inputs in 480i format.

ETHERNET Connect a router, cable modem, or Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) modem to the TV using an Ethernet cable (CAT 5) for a possible software upgrade. Go to page 50 for more information on software upgrades. Do not connect a telephone cable because of risk of fire or shock. A green light on the jack means that an active network has been detected. An orange light on the jack means the data is either being sent or received.
