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.
NOTE: Before you connect your TV , ensure you have all the proper cables. Some cables may come with
the device you are connecting. For a list of cables that came with your TV, see Package Contents on
page 8. To order additional cables, contact Dell.
Connecting Your Cable TV Box or Antenna
Quality Cable and Connector When to Use
Good Coaxial cable / NTSC/ANALOG Coaxial (RF) cable carries the analog video
and audio signal from the antenna or cable
connector to your TV. The coaxial connector
is labeled NTSC/ANALOG. To locate the
NTSC connector, see "Bottom View" on
page 7.
Better Coaxial cable / HDTV/DIGITAL The Coaxial cable carries the digital video
and audio signal from the antenna connector
to your TV. The coaxial connector is labeled
HDTV/DIGITAL. To locate the HDTV
connector, see "Bottom View" on page 7.
12 Setting Up Your TV
Connecting Your Video Devices
Quality Cable and Connector When to Use
Good Composite cable / AV1,2 IN (Bottom)
Video, Left, Right (Left)
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 6 and
"Bottom View" on page 7.
Better S-Video cable / AV3,4 IN (Bottom)
S-Video, Left, Right (Left)
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 "Left View" on page 6 and
"Bottom View" on page 7.
Setting Up Your TV 13
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
Quality Cable and Connector When to Use
Best Component (YPbPr) cable / AV5,6 IN The component connectors split the video signal
into three signals, two color and one black-andwhite. If you are using the component
connectors, you also need to connect the audio
cables. To locate the component connectors, see
"Bottom View" on page 7.
Excellent HDMI cable / HDMI IN (1,2) 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 "Bottom View" on
page 7.
