Step 4: Connect External Devices

Connecting an AV device (DVD/Blu-ray player, cable/satellite box, etc.)

Use one of the connections below to connect your TV to an external A/V device. We recommend using HDMI for the highest picture quality.

When connecting to AV IN 1 on the back of your TV, attach the video cable (yellow) to the green jack next to the AV IN 1 label. The jack will not match the color of the video cable (yellow).
