Things to Consider Before Connecting Components
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choose the location for your TV carefully. Place the TV on a stand or base that is of
adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed
off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and or damage the TV. Refer to the
Important Safeguards sheet packed with your TV.
Protect Components From Power Surges
• Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.
• Always turn off the TV and other components before you connect or disconnect any
cables.
Position Cables to Avoid Audio Hum or Interference
• Insert all cable plugs fi rmly into their jacks.
• Place any Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the side(s) of the TV’s back panel instead of
straight down the back after connecting components.
• Try not to coil any twin-lead antenna cables and keep them away from all A/V cables as
much as possible.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Safety Tips sheet
packed with your unit for detailed information.
Protect Components From Overheating
• Never block ventilation slots in any component. Arrange the components so that air
can circulate freely.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing components in a stand.
• Place an amplifi er or other hot component on the top shelf of a stand so heated air
rising from it will not fl ow around other components.

TV/DVD
Connections and Setup
Explanation of Jacks and Cables
You can connect other components to your TV/DVD player such as a VCR, video camera, or audio receiver.
There are several ways to connect your other components to your TV/DVD player depending upon the cables
you have and the jacks that are on the back of the components. Different jacks and cables provide a different
level of performance. The jacks on the back of your TV/DVD Player and the cables used to connect them are
explained below.
( cables not included )
Note: If you do not connect a cable, antenna, or another component to your TV, the TV will automatically
shut off after 15 minutes to save power.
VIDEO Jack and Cable
The basic Video jack (usually color-coded yellow) is also referred to as
composite video. Composite video is better than the video quality you get
from an RF coaxial cable (the type used to plug the cable feed into a TV).
VIDEO
Usually the video cable is bundled with the audio cables (white and red).
S-VIDEO Jack and Cable
The S-VIDEO (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than
composite video (the VIDEO jack) because the color is kept separate from
the black and white part of the video signal.
S-VIDEO
Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the S-Video cable carries
only the picture signal, not the sound.
AUDIO L (left) and R (right) Jacks and Cables
These jacks are used for audio connections of other components to
the TV. The audio jacks and cables are often color-coded (red for right
audio, and white for left audio). You must connect audio cables to the
L (MONO
)
R
AUDIO L and R jacks on the TV/DVD player and the corresponding jacks
on the component no matter which Video jack [AV1 (SVID), DVD, AV3
(side front)] you connect.
Note: If your component has only one audio output for audio (mono),
connect it to the left (white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don’t connect
the right audio part of the cable.
