Connecting your TV

If you have not connected electronic equipment before, or you have been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section.

Note: Cables are not supplied.

•A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.

•Audio and video cables are usually color coded according to use: yellow for video; red and white for audio. The red audio cable is for the stereo right channel; the white audio cable is for the stereo (or mono) left channel. If you look at the rear panel of the TV, you will see that the terminals are color coded in the same manner as the cables.

•S-video cables provide better picture performance than standard video cables. S-video cables can be used only with S-video compat- ible components.

•ColorStreamTM (component video) cables come in sets of three.

A ColorStream (component video) connection will provide the best picture performance.

NOTE REGARDING

PICTURE QUALITY

When connecting video equipment, such as a VCR or DVD player:

•For GOOD picture quality: Use regular video cables.

•For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has S-video connections, use S-video cables instead of regular video cables.

•For BEST picture quality: If your equipment has ColorStream (component video) connections, use component video cables instead of regular or S-video cables. Component video cables come in sets of three.

Note: Do not connect a regular video cable and an S-Video cable to VIDEO-1 (or VIDEO-2) at the same time. Doing so will distort the picture.

Caution:

Do not plug in any power cords until you have finished connecting all of your equipment.
