Connecting Your TV
The tables below provide a description of the connectors on your TV to help you decide which
connectors to use for your various video devices.
Connecting Your Cable TV Box or Antenna
Quality Cable and connector When to Use
Good Coaxial cable
Coaxial (RF) cable carries the video and
audio signal from the antenna or cable
connector to your TV. The coaxial connector
is labelled NTSC. To locate the NTSC
connector see "Rear View" on page 8.
Best Coaxial cable
Connecting Your Video Devices
Quality Cable and connector When to Use
Good Composite
The HDTV cable carries the digital video and
audio signal from the antenna connector to
your TV. To locate the HDTV connector see
"Rear View" on page 8.
The composite connector carries the video
signal through a single pin. If you are using a
composite video connector, you also need to
connect composite audio cables. To locate
the composite connectors, see "Left View" on
page 7 and "Rear View" on page 8.

14 Setting Up Your TV
FILE LOCATION: C:\Documents and Settings\cherylyuan\Ƈ¦±\FM\ch2e.fm
Quality Cable and connector When to Use
Better S-Video
The S-Video connector splits the video signal
into two signals, black-and-white and color. If
you are using the S-Video connector, you also
need to connect the audio cables. To locate
the S-Video connectors, see "Right View" on
page 6 and "Rear View" on page 8.
Best Component (YPbPr)
Excellent HDMI
The component connectors splits the video
signal into three signals: two color signals and
one black-and-white signal. If you are using
the component connectors, you also need to
connect the audio cables. To locate the
component connectors, see "Rear View" on
page 8.
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia
Interface) assures that the best video signal is
always sent from source (HDTV signal, DVD
player) to the TV. This is achieved by allowing
uncompressed video and multi-channel audio
data to be sent to the display device through
a single cable. To locate the connector see
"Rear View" on page 8.
