Connections and Setup Explanation of Jacks (in alphabetical order) This section describes the jacks on the back panel of your TV. There are several ways to connect devices. ANT/CABLE Input Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from your antenna, cable, or cable box. COMPONENT INPUTS Lets you connect a device that has component video jacks, such as a DVD player. • CMP1 Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr (Component Video) Provides optimum picture quality because the video is separated into three signals. Use three video-grade or component video cables for the connection. When using CMP1 Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr, make sure you connect left and right audio cables to the CMP1 L and R AUDIO jacks. • CMP1 L AUDIO Provides left audio connection when using the CMP1 video inputs. The left audio connector is usually white. • CMP1 R AUDIO Provides right audio connection when using the CMP1 video inputs. The right audio connector is usually red. • CMP2 Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr (Component Video) Same as described for CMP1 Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr and CMP1 Audio above. Make sure you connect the left and right audio cables to the CMP2 L and R AUDIO jacks. HDMI1/DVI Input Lets you connect a device, such as a digital cable box, with an HDMI or a DVI output. • HDMI1/DVI INPUT (High-Definition Multimedia Interface/Digital Visual Interface) Provides an uncompressed digital connection that carries both video and audio data by way of an integrated mini-plug cable. Since HDMI technology is based on Digital Visual Interface (DVI), the jack on the back of your TV is also compatible with DVI devices. • L AUDIO (used for DVI only) Provides left audio connection when using the DVI jack. The left audio connector is usually white. • R AUDIO (used for DVI only) 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. HDMI2 Input Lets you connect a device, such as a digital cable box, with an HDMI output. SPDIF OUT Use a digital coaxial cable to connect your TV to a compatible audio receiver. VGA Connect your computer, or other device with a VGA output, to this jack using a 15 pin D-sub cable. Go to page 34 for more information about how to use PIP with this connection. VGA AUDIO (Stereo mini jack) Use to obtain sound when a PC is connected to the VGA jack. Use a 3.5 mm stereo mini pin cable (sometimes referred to as 1/8" stereo mini pin) to connect a PC to your TV. VIDEO1 Input Lets you connect a device that has composite video jacks, such as a VCR or DVD player. • L AUDIO Provides left audio connection when using the VIDEO1 jack. The left audio connector is usually white. • R AUDIO Provides right audio connection when using the VIDEO1 jack. The right audio connector is usually red.
