Connections & Setup COMPONENT/COMPOSITE INPUTS Use menu for composite video. INPUT 4 R L PR PB Y/VIDEO R L PR PB Y/VIDEO INPUT 2 Y (green) PR (red) Component Cables PB (blue) Tip Inputs 2/4 can be used as either a component video (Y PB PR ) input or a composite video (Y/Video) input. Go to the Connections menu, choose Video Input Setup and select which video input source you are using. INPUT 2 COMPONENT/COMPOSITE INPUT Provides connection to a second NTSC (analog) video component with either composite or component outputs such as a VCR. • R Audio provides right audio connection and connector is usually red. • L Audio provides left audio connection and connector is usually white. • Y/Video P P Unlike a single video input, component (Y P P ) video B R B R maintains the video signal as three separate parts through these three jacks. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the Y P P connections. Accepts 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i signals. If you're B R connecting to a component with a Video jack instead, you can still use the Y/Video jack. Go to the Connections menu, select Video Input Setup and choose Composite video as your source. Go to page 61 for more information. Notes: Also, remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the Y, Pb, Pr cables carry only the picture signal, not the sound. PIP can only be displayed from component inputs in 480i format. INPUT 4/ COMPONENT/COMPOSITE INPUT Provides connection to a second optional component video source, such as a DVD player or satellite receiver. The jacks are the same as described above for INPUT 2. WIRED IR ETHERNET WIRED IR This jack is for connecting a wired remote control system, which is primarily for professional installers. If you're using the remote that was included with your TV, don't plug anything into this jack or the TV won't respond to the remote. ETHERNET Connect a router, cable modem, or Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) modem to the TV using an Ethernet cable (CAT 5). Do not connect a telephone cable because of risk of fire or shock. A green light on the jack means that an active network has been detected. An orange light on the jack means the data is either being sent or received. DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT Use a digital optical cable (or SPDIF cable) to connect your TV to a compatible Dolby Digital* and/or PCM receiver and/or decoder. Dolby Digital offers theatre-quality sound (six audio channels). If you own a receiver that uses an optical cable input, you can use an optical cable to connect the TV to that receiver for the best sound quality. Go to the Digital Audio Out screen in the Audio menu to select Auto Select or PCM as the output for this jack. Note: This TV's optical digital output jack fully complies with the international standard governing this type of jack (IEC958), and is designed for connection to a Dolby Digital (AC-3® or PCM) receiver or decoder. Older equipment, some of which is not fully compliant with IEC958, may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection using anything other than a Dolby Digital (AC-3 or PCM) receiver or decoder could create a high noise level, causing damage to headphones or speakers. *Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.
