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-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.

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.
