Making Video Connections

Your TV includes several types of video inputs. When connecting

your TV, use the inputs that are available on your components that

provide the best video performance, as described below.

About Using SVIDEO

If the optional equipment you are connecting has an S VIDEO

jack (shown at left), yo u can use an S VID EO cable for

improved picture quality (compared to an A/V cable).

Because SVIDEO carries only the video signal, you also need

to connect audio cables for sound, as shown below.

Example of an S VIDEO Connection
