Component Video (Y PB PR) Jacks and Cables— Excellent Video Quality

The Y PB PR jacks allow you to connect an optional component video source, such as a DVD player. This connection provides optimum picture quality because the video is separated into three signals. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the connection.

Note: Also, remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the Y PB PR jacks and cables carry only the picture signal, not the sound.

S-Video Jack and Cable — Very Good Video Quality

The S-Video (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than the regular video jacks (labeled INPUT1 VIDEO; INPUT2 VIDEO; INPUT3 VIDEO) because the color (chrominance, also called chroma) part of the signal is separated from the black and white (luminance) part of the picture.

If a component you’re connecting to your TV (like a VCR) has an S-VIDEO jack, connect the VCR to the TV with an S-Video cable (not provided) for a better quality picture.

Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the S-Video cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

Digital Audio Out Jack and Optical Cable — Excellent Audio Quality

The optical cable is used to connect a Dolby Digital receiver to your TV. If you own a Dolby Digital receiver that uses an optical cable-type input, you can use an optical cable to connect the TV to that receiver for the best sound quality.

Notes:

•This TV’s optical digital output jack fully complies with the international standard governing this type of jack (IEC958), and is designed for connection to a Dolby Digital (AC-3®or PCM) receiver or Dolby Digital (AC-3 or PCM) decoder. Older equipment, some of which is not fully compliant with IEC958, may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection using anything other than Dolby Digital AC-3 or PCM receiver or decoder could create a high noise level, causing damage to headphones or speakers.

•Some receivers can only receive the signal from the optical cable when the TV is in DIRECTV mode, not TV mode. As a precaution, connect the audio cables to your TV and receiver so you won’t experience audio loss when switching modes.
