Connecting Accessory Devices to Your TV PANEL OVERVIEWS: STANDARD INPUTS AND OUTPUTS You 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 connect 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. 1 4 ANTENNA IN 75Ω 6 INPUT-AV 1 OUTPUT Y VIDEO Pb L AUDIO Pr R 52 Rear of TV 4 INPUT-AV 2 VIDEO S-VIDEO L L AUDIO R HD INPUT-AV 4 G/Y R/Pr B/Pb V L SYNC AUDIO H R 53 Summary of signal compatabilities Input jacks on TV ANTENNA IN 75Ω, INPUT AV-1, INPUT AV-2, and side jack panel (AV3) Compatible output signal from an external source or device 480i (480 lines, interlaced) 4 INPUT-AV 3 5 HELPFUL HINTS • 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. c CHECK IT OUT The side jack-panel inputs (recognized by the TV as AV3) are convenient for connecting a camcorder.
