INPUT 1 and 3 COMPONENT/COMPOSITE INPUTS Provides connection to an (analog) video device with either composite or component outputs such as a VCR or DVD player. • 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 B R Unlike a single video input, component (Y PB PR) video maintains the video signal as three separate parts through these three jacks. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video cables or component video cables for the Y PB PR connections. Accepts 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i signals. If you're connecting to a device with a Video jack instead, you can still use the Y/Video jack. Note: Also, remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the Y, Pb, Pr cables carry only the picture signal, not the sound. INPUT 3 COMPONENT/COMPOSITE INPUT Provides connection to an additional optional video device, such as a DVD player or satellite receiver. The jacks are the same as described above for INPUT 1. 22 Chapter 1
