Explanation of Jacks (in alphabetical order)

This section describes the jacks on the back panel of your TV/DVD. There are several ways to connect components.

ANTENNA/CABLE Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from your antenna, cable, or cable box.

AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT 1 (VID1) Lets you connect a component that has composite video jacks, such as a VCR or DVD player.

•L AUDIO Provides left audio connection when using the VIDEO INPUT 1 jack. The left audio connectors are usually white. For mono audio sources, be sure to use the L AUDIO INPUT.

•R AUDIO Provides right audio connection when using the VIDEO INPUT 1 jack. The right audio connector is usually red.

COMPONENT INPUTS Lets you connect a component that has component video jacks, such as a DVD player.

•CMPT Y Pb Pr (Component Video) Provides good picture quality because the video is separated into three signals. Use three video-grade or component video cables for the connection. When using CMPT Y Pb Pr, make sure you connect left and right audio cables to the L and R AUDIO jacks.

•HDMI/DVI INPUT (High-Definition Multimedia Interface/Digital Visual Interface) Provides an uncompressed digital connection that carries both video and audio data by way of an integrated mini- plug cable. Since HDMI technology is based on Digital Visual Interface (DVI), the jack on the back of your TV is also compatible with DVI components.

PC INPUT VIDEO Connect your computer or other component with a VGA output to this jack using a 15- pin, D-sub cable.

PC INPUT AUDIO (Stereo mini jack) Use to obtain sound when a PC is connected to the PC input. Use a 3.5mm stereo mini-pin cable (sometimes referred to as 1/8” stereo mini-pin) to connect a PC to your TV/DVD.
