Connections and Setup

Explanation of Jacks (in alphabetical order)

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

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

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

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

CMP1 Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr (Component Video) Provides optimum picture quality because the video is separated into three signals. Use three video-grade or component video cables for the connection. When using CMP1 Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr, make sure you connect left and right audio cables to the CMP1 L and R AUDIO jacks.

CMP1 L AUDIO Provides left audio connection when using the CMP1 video inputs. The left audio connector is usually white.

CMP1 R AUDIO Provides right audio connection when using the CMP1 video inputs. The right audio connector is usually red.

CMP2 Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr (Component Video) Same as described for CMP1 Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr and CMP1 Audio above. Make sure you connect the left and right audio cables to the CMP2 L and R AUDIO jacks.

HDMI/DVI Input Lets you connect a device, such as a digital cable box, with an HDMI or a DVI output.

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 devices.

L AUDIO (used for DVI only) Provides left audio connection when using the DVI jack. The left audio connector is usually white.

R AUDIO (used for DVI only) Provides right audio connection when using the DVI jack. The right audio 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.

MONITOR OUT Connect a VCR or DVD-recorder to record digital and analog programs from the Digital or Analog Input (excluding copy-protected programs and component video formats) while the TV is turned on. You must leave the TV on the same channel you are recording.

AUDIO Use the Audio Out jacks when using the MONITOR OUTPUT Video jack or use these jacks by themselves to connect an audio receiver to the TV for enhanced sound quality. If you use these jacks to receive your sound, you don't need to connect the speakers supplied with the TV. Make sure you set the Audio output correctly in the Advanced Settings Sound menu. Go to page 28 for more information.

L (Audio) Provides left audio connection. The left audio connector is usually white.

R (Audio) Provides right audio connection. The right audio connector is usually red.
