Connecting the TV

Digital Cable Box or Digital Satellite Receiver

Disconnect all power sources before making any connections.

1 Connect the RF coaxial cable from the CATV or satellite dish to the input of the digital cable box or digital satellite receiver.

2 Use a component video cable to connect the digital cable box or satellite receiver’s YPBPR jacks to the TV’s Y PB/CB PR/CR jacks. Use the HD/DVD IN 4 or 5 input.

✍Component video (Y PB/CB PR/CR) connection is necessary to view 480p, 720p, and 1080i formats. Note that this TV displays all format types of picture in a resolution of 1280 dots x 720 lines.

3 Use an audio cable to connect the digital cable box or satellite receiver’s AUDIO OUT jacks to the TV’s AUDIO IN jacks.

✍The Y PB/CB PR/CR jacks do not provide audio, so audio cables must be connected to provide sound.
