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 component 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 Cable or Antenna 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.

L (Audio) Provides left audio connection when using the MONITOR OUTPUT jack. The left audio connector is usually white.

R (Audio) Provides right audio connection when using the MONITOR OUTPUT jack. The right audio connector is usually red.

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

VGA AUDIO (Stereo mini jack) Use to obtain sound when a PC is connected to the VGA jack. Use a 3.5 mm stereo mini pin cable (sometimes referred to as 1/8” stereo mini pin) to connect a PC to your TV. Go to page 12 for more information.
