Component Video Input Jacks
Cables used: component video or A/V
with RCA-type phono plugs
Allow you to connect accessory devices such
as DVD players. Separating the video into
three signals, these inputs provide excellent
quality. Be sure to connect the left and right
audio cables, because the Y, Pb, Pr jacks
receive only the picture signal.
S-Video Jacks
Cable used: S-Video
Provide a higher quality picture than the Video
(composite) jacks because the color part of the
picture is separated from the black and white
portion. Be sure to connect the left and right
audio cables, because the S-Video jacks receive
only the picture signal.
Video (called composite) Jacks
Cable used:A/V with RCA-type phono
plug
Provide better picture performance than the
antenna RF input. Be sure to connect the audio
cables, because the video jacks receive only the
picture signal.
Audio Jacks
Cables used:A/V with RCA-type
phono plug
Provide sound for the video inputs. If your
accessory device has only one output for audio,
connect it to the left (color coded white) audio
jack on the TV.
Antenna RF Jack
Cables used: RF coaxial cable (75Ω)
Allows you to connect an antenna, cable TV, or
components having only RF outputs to the
antenna input on the TV. RF coaxial cables are
available in push-on or screw-on type.
Signal Splitter
Allows you to route an antenna or cable TV
signal to two inputs.
300- to 75-ohm Twin-lead Adapter
Accepts twin-lead wires from an antenna and

ou can connect a wide range of video and
audio devices to your TV, in various ways.
This page and the next one provide an overview
of signal compatabilities and the types of
devices you can connect to the jacks.
Connection examples follow on subsequent
pages. See pages 1 and 2 of the Quick Use and
Setup Guide that came with your set for examples of basic connections. You may also want to
refer to the user instructions that came with
each particular device for information on connections.
What You Can Connect to the
Standard Panel Jacks
1
ANTENNA IN 75Ω jack—use to con-
nect radio-frequency (RF) signals from
VHF/UHF antennas or a cable system.
These are 480i signals.
2
YPbPr (component video input [CVI]
jacks)—compatible with 480i signals
only. Use to connect accessories having
component video outputs, such as DVD
players, laser-disc players, video-game
players, satellite receivers, or other
devices. Use the INPUT-AV 1 L(eft) and
R(ight) AUDIO jacks for sound connections. .
3
S-VIDEO (super video) jacks—compatible with 480i signals only. Use to
connect accessories having Super VHS
(S-VHS) outputs, such as VCRs, DVD
players, laser-disc players, video-game
players, satellite receivers, or other
devices.
4
VIDEO (composite) jacks (INPUT-AV
1,
INPUT-AV 2, and TV’s side jack panel
[AV3])—compatible with 480i signals
only. Use to connect accessories having
composite video outputs, such as VCRs,
video-game players, or other devices.
5
AUDIO inputs (INPUT-AV 1,
INPUT-AV 2, and TV’s side jack panel
[AV3])—use to connect from the audio
output jacks on VCRs, DVDs, or other
accessories.
6
OUTPUT (VIDEO/AUDIO)—video is
compatible with 480i signals only. Use to
connect to a VCR to record programs
from the TV. Or use the AUDIO outputs
to connect to an audio hi-fi system.
• Signals connected to the HD INPUT-AV 4
inputs will provide you with the best picture.
Examples of sources for such signals are a
progressive-scan DVD player (480p) or an
HD receiver (1080i or 480p) with YPbPr or
RGB outputs. The 1080i signals will provide you with the best picture possible.
Devices with RGB outputs may or may not
have H and V sync outputs to connect to the
HD INPUT-AV 4 H and V SYNC inputs.
• Among the 480i-compatible inputs
(ANTENNA IN 75Ω, INPUT AV-1, INPUT
AV-2, and the side jack panel), you will get
the best picture from the component video
inputs (labeled YPbPr). The S-Video inputs
will provide the next-best level of picture
quality.

CONNECTING A VCR AND CABLE BOX
P
resented here is a connection example
involving a VCR and cable box.
Refer to the VCR’s directions-for-use manual
for further information on connections.
To make the connections in this example, you
will need:
• one, two-way signal splitter
•two coaxial cables (75Ω)
• one cable for a video connection (standard
RCA connector)
•two cables for audio connections (standard
RCA connectors) (only one cable is needed
for connection to a nonstereo VCR).
NOTE: The cables are not supplied with your
TV. You should be able to buy them at most
stores that sell electronics. Or you can call
our Customer Care Center at
1-800-531-0039.
1
Connect a cable TV signal to a twoway signal splitter.
2
Connect one of the two-way signal
splitter outputs to the INPUT on the
cable box.
3
Connect the other two-way signal
splitter output to the ANTENNA IN
75Ω on the rear of the TV.
4
Connect from the cable box OUTPUT
jack to the ANT IN jack on the rear of
the VCR.
5
Connect the VIDEO OUT jack on
the VCR to the INPUT-AV 1 VIDEO
jack on the rear of the TV.
6
Connect the AUDIO OUT R(ight)
and L(eft) jacks on the VCR to
INPUT-AV 1 AUDIO jacks on the rear
of the TV.
NOTE:
If your VCR is mono (nonstereo),
you will connect only one audio cable.
Connect only the left audio cable,
which usually has a white connector.
7
Press the AV button on the remote
control as many times as necessary
to select the AV1 source.
8
Turn the VCR on and push PLAY to
view a videotape.
Connecting Accessory Devices to Your TV
• A cable box will not send stereo sound to the
ANTENNA IN 75Ω jack on the TV.
However, if your cable box has A/V outputs,
those might be able to supply video and
stereo audio to A/V jacks on either the VCR
or the TV. Check with your cable company.
•To simplify making connections, the plugs
on audio and video cables are often color
coded. The jacks on your TV are likewise
color coded to match the plugs.
The coding is as follows:
—Yellow for video (composite)
—Red for the right audio channel
—White for the left audio channel
NOTE: If your VCR is mono (nonstereo),
you will connect only one audio cable. You
must ensure that the TV is set to MONO for
the signal source to which you’ve connected
the VCR (INPUT-AV 2, INPUT-AV 1, or the
side panel inputs [AV3]). Otherwise, you will
receive sound from only one of the TV’s
speakers. See page 27.

CONNECTING A STANDARD DVD PLAYER
C
omponent video inputs allow the highest pos-
sible color and picture resolution in the playback of digital signals, such as those of DVD
players. The color difference signals (Pb, Pr) and
the luminance (Y) signal are connected and
received separately. The result is better color
bandwidth information than is possible with composite video (labeled VIDEO on your TV’s jack
panel) or S-Video connections.
To make the connections shown in this example,
you will need:
• three cables for video connections (standard
RCA connectors)
•two cables for audio connections (standard
RCA connectors).
NOTE: The cables are not supplied with your TV.
You should be able to buy them at most stores
that sell electronics. Or you can call our
Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.
1
Connect the YPbPr (component)
VIDEO OUT jacks from the DVD player
to the INPUT-AV 1 YPbPr (component
video) jacks on the rear of the TV.
NOTE: The INPUT-AV 1 YPbPr jacks
will accept 480i (interlaced) output signals only. The connection example on this
page assumes the use of a DVD player
with interlaced output. Some DVD players, however, have YPbPr outputs that can
be switched between interlaced and progressive scan. If you are attempting to use
a DVD player with progressive-scan (480p
output) capability to make the connection
shown in this example, you must be sure
to switch the DVD player to interlaced. If
necessary, refer to the DVD player’s directions-for-use manual for help. If you want
to use the DVD player in progressive-scan
mode, you must use the
HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks (see page 13).
2
Connect the AUDIO OUT L(eft) and
R(ight) jacks from the DVD player to the
INPUT-AV 1 AUDIO jacks on the rear of
the TV.
3
Press the AV button on the remote control as many times as necessary to select
the CVI (component video input) source
on the TV.
4
Tu rn the DVD player on and press
PLAY to view the DVD program on the
TV.
Connecting Accessory Devices to Your TV
•To simplify making connections, the connectors on audio and video cables are
often color coded. The jacks on your TV
are likewise color coded to match the
connectors.
•The names for the component video jacks
may differ depending on the DVD player
or accessory digital source equipment
used. For example, besides YPbPr, you
may see R-Y/B-Y/Y; or CrCbY. Although
abbreviations and terms may vary, the letters B and R stand for the blue and red
color component signal connectors, respectively, and Y indicates the luminance signal. If necessary, refer to the directions-foruse manual for your DVD or digital accessory for more information.
•You can also connect a satellite receiver
to the TV in a manner similar to the
example shown on this page. If you connect a satellite receiver to the TV, you
will need to use the receiver’s channelmemorization system to store channels in
the receiver’s memory.
• If you experience difficulties receiving
sound with a DVD disc, check the sound
settings through the DVD disc’s menu.

located on the back or front of the players for
changing from interlaced to progressive-scan
mode. Other DVD players may allow the
mode to be changed by pressing a button on
the DVD player’s remote control or by using
the DVD player’s onscreen menu. If the
interlaced/progressive-scan selection option
is provided only through the DVD onscreen
menu, you will need to connect the DVD
player to another AV input source in addition
to HD INPUT-AV 4 to see the DVD menu.
Select this additional AV source on screen to
see the DVD menu and choose progressivescan mode. You will then be able to see the
DVD picture through the AV4 source.
• Some DVD players have dedicated progressive-scan output jacks that are labeled as
such and require no switching to provide a
picture through the HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks.
