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 INPUT 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 device 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 connector is usually white.
• 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 device that has
component video jacks, such as a DVD player.
• CMP1 Y Pb Pr (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 Pr, 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 Pr (Component Video) Same as described for
CMP1 Y Pb Pr and CMP1 Audio above. Make sure you connect the
left and right audio cables to the CMP2 L and R AUDIO jacks.
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT (Coaxial) Use a digital coaxial cable to
connect your TV to a compatible audio receiver.
FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT Use left and right audio cables
to connect your TV to a compatible audio receiver. Make sure you set
the Audio Output option correctly in the Advanced Sound menu. Go
to page 38 for more information.
HDMI1/DVI INPUT Lets you connect a device, such as a digital
cable box, with an HDMI or a DVI output.
• HDMI1/DVI INPUT (High-Defi nition 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.
• DVI AUDIO L (used for DVI only) Provides left audio
connection when using the HDMI1 jack for DVI. The left audio
connector is usually white.
• DVI AUDIO R (used for DVI only) Provides right audio
connection when using the HDMI1 jack for DVI. 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.
