Connections & Setup Explanation of Jacks and Cables The diagrams below illustrate jacks found on the back of the TV. When connecting cables, be sure to connect corresponding outputs and inputs (video input into video out, right audio input into right audio out, etc.). This section describes the jacks and cables you might use to make connections (cables may be ordered separately by calling the number on page 79). There are several ways to connect components to your TV. Different jacks and cables provide a different level of performance. It's important to remember the different degrees of picture quality for comparison. The HDMI/DVI, DTVLink, and component jacks are considered excellent; S-Video is very good; composite jacks are good, while connecting components to the Antenna or Cable input is fair.
