INPUT 2 COMPONENT/COMPOSITE INPUT Provides connection to a second NTSC (analog) video component 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 component with a Video jack instead, you can still use the Y/Video jack. Go to the Connections menu, select Video Input Setup and choose Composite video as your source. Go to page 53 for more information.

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.

INPUT 4 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.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT Use a digital optical cable (or SPDIF cable) to connect your TV to a compatible Dolby Digital or PCM receiver or decoder. Dolby Digital offers theatre-quality sound (six audio channels). If you own a receiver that uses an optical cable input, you can use an optical cable to connect the TV to that receiver for the best sound quality. Go to the Digital Audio Out screen in the Audio menu to select Auto Select or PCM as the output for this jack.

Note: This TV’s optical digital output jack fully complies with the international standard governing this type of jack (IEC958), and is designed for connection to a Dolby Digital (AC-3®or PCM) receiver or decoder. Older equipment, some of which is not fully compliant with IEC958, may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection using anything other than a Dolby Digital (AC-3 or PCM) receiver or decoder could create a high noise level, causing damage to headphones or speakers.

CableCARD Allows you to use a digital cable television card to receive digital cable services, including premium and HDTV cable channels, without the need for a set-top box. Go to page 18 for information on using the CableCARD slot.
