TIPS ON REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

•S-VIDEO connections are provided for high performance laserdisc players, VCRs etc. that have this feature. Use these connections in place of the standard video connection if your device has S-Video.

•If your device has only one audio output (mono sound), connect it to the left audio jack on the television.

•Refer to the operating guide of your other electronic equipment for additional information on connecting your hook-up cables.

•A single VCR can be used for VCR #1 and VCR #2, but note that a VCR cannot record its own video or line output. Refer to your VCR operating guide for more information on line input-output connections.

•You may use VIDEO or S-VIDEO inputs to connect to Input 1, Input 2, or Input 5 but only one of these may be used at a time.

•Connect only 1 component (VCR, DVD player, camcorder, etc.) to each input set of jacks.

•COMPONENT: Y-PB PR connections are provided for high perfor-

mance components, such as DVD players. Use these connections in place of the standard video connection if your device has this feature. When using the Y-PB PR input jacks, Input 3 and 4 will be viewed as a split PIP Sub-Picture.

•Your component outputs may be labeled Y, B-Y, and R-Y. In this case, connect the components B-Y output to the TV’s PB input and the components R-Y output to the TV’s PR input.

•Your component outputs may be labeled Y-CB CR. In this case, connect the components CB output to the TV’s PB input and the components CR output to the TV’s PR input.

•You may use standard video signal for INPUTS 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

•For component video, you may use INPUTS 3 and 4 only.

•It may be necessary to adjust TINT to obtain optimum picture quality when using the Y-PB PR inputs. (See Video menu.)

•To ensure against copyright infringement, the MONITOR OUT output will be abnormal, when using the Y-PB PR jacks.

NOTES:

1.Your component outputs may be labeled Y, B-Y, and R-Y. In this case, connect the components B-Y output to the TV’s P B input and the components R-Y output to the TV’s P R input.

2.Your component outputs may be labeled Y-CB CR. In this case, connect the component CB output to the TV’s PB input and the component CR output to the TV’s PR input.

3.It may be necessary to adjust TINT to obtain optimum picture

quality when using the Y-PB PR inputs. (See Video menu.)

4.To ensure no copyright infringement, the MONITOR OUT output will be abnormal, if using the Y-PB PR jacks.

5.When using the Y-PB PR jacks, TV will automatically change to SPLIT PIP mode. When you have Picture-on-Picture on and are viewing a Y-PB PR input, only SPLIT mode is possible.

6.Inputs 3 and 4 (Y-VIDEO) can be used for standard video input.

Hook Up Cable Box

Some cable services require the use of a cable box to decode premium channels and pay-per-view. Using the “To Cable Box” to Decoder option, and programming your remote, you can connect your cable box so that you only need your MBR remote to control all the channels. By connecting cable directly to your Entertainment Machine, then running it out to the cable box and back, you make the cable box another source to choose from in the Source selection on your remote.
