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 connectors are usually white. For mono audio sources be sure to use the Left 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 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. For mono audio sources be sure to use the Left AUDIO INPUT.

•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 (optical) Use a digital optical cable to connect your TV to a compatible audio receiver.

HDMI1 INPUT Lets you connect a device, such as a digital cable box, with an HDMI output.

HDMI2/DVI INPUT Lets you connect a device, such as a digital cable box, with an HDMI or a DVI output.

•HDMI2/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 HDMI2 jack for DVI. The left audio connector is usually white. For mono audio sources be sure to use the Left AUDIO INPUT.

•DVI AUDIO R (used for DVI only) Provides right audio connection when using the HDMI2 jack for DVI. The right audio connector is usually red.

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

PC 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.
