Connections & Setup Explanation of Jacks This section describes the jacks you can use to make connections. There are several ways to connect components to your TV. DVI-HDTV L/MONO R Y PB PR L/MONO R Y PB PR L/MONO R COMPONENT INPUTS COMPOSITE INPUTS V L/MONO R V L/MONO R AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT FIXED AUDIO V L R VARIABLE AUDIO SUBWOOFER L R + + EXT/INT RIGHT LEFT EXTERNAL SPEAKERS VID2 VID1 CMP1 CMP2 DVI-HDTV Input Lets you connect an HD receiver with a DVI output. • DVI (Digital Visual Interface) Provides an uncompressed, digital video interface developed for high-bandwidth digital connection. It supports the overlay of high-resolution graphics needed by some electronic program guide navigation and other interactive services. DVI, when combined with HDCP (High bandwidth Digital Content Protection) technology, creates a protected digital connection. The signal speed of the DVI connection is 1080i for HDTV at a rate of 1.78 Gigabits per second. • L/MONO (Audio) Provides left audio connection when using the DVI jack. The left audio connector is usually white. • R (Audio) Provides right audio connection when using the DVI jack. The right audio connector is usually red. Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the DVI cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound. COMPONENT INPUTS Lets you connect a component video source, such as a DVD player. • CMP1 Y, PB, PR (Component Video) Provides optimum picture quality because the video is separated into three signals. Use three video-grade cables for the connection. When using CMP1 Y, PB, PR, make sure to connect left and right audio cables to the CMP1 L/MONO and R Audio Input jacks. • CMP1 L/MONO (Audio) Provides left audio connection. The left audio connector is usually white. • CMP1 R (Audio) Provides right audio connection. The right audio connector is usually red. • CMP2 Y, PB, PR, and L/MONO and R Audio Allows you to connect a second component video source. Their description is the same as CMP1 above. When using CMP2 Y, P , P , make sure you BR connect the left and right audio cables to the CMP2 Audio jacks. COMPOSITE INPUTS Lets you connect another component such as a VCR, DVD player, or laserdisc player. Its AUDIO jacks are the same as described for CMP1 above. • VID1 S-VIDEO Provides better picture quality than the video jacks (VID1 and 2 Video) because the color part of the signal is separated from the black and white part of the picture. When using VID1 S-VIDEO, make sure to connect left and right audio cables to the VID1 L/MONO and R Audio Input jacks. • VID1 V (Video) Provides composite video connection. The video connector is usually yellow. • VID2 S-VIDEO, V and L/MONO and R Audio Allows you to connect a component such as a VCR, DVD player, or laserdisc player. Their description is the same as VID1 above. Note: Do not connect an S-Video and Video cable at the same time in either VID1 or VID2 jacks. AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUTS Lets you connect an amplifier or audio receiver for improved sound quality or an external video monitor. • FIXED AUDIO L/R Provides fixed-level audio output from the TV. This audio output is ideal for connecting to an A/V receiver when you want to control the volume through the A/V receiver. • VARIABLE AUDIO Provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels are controlled by the volume controls on the TV and remote control. • SUBWOOFER Provides lower bass audio frequencies out from the TV and to a subwoofer. Note: If you've connected a subwoofer, make sure you set the External Subwoofer option in the Sound menu. Go to page 22 for instructions. EXTERNAL SPEAKERS • Right and Left Speaker Terminals Let you connect external left and right speakers to the TV to receive left and right sound. • EXT/INT (switch) Lets you turn the TV's internal speakers on or off.
