Explanation of Jacks (in alphabetical order)
This section describes the jacks you can use to make connections. There are several ways to
connect components to your TV.
ANTENNA/CABLE
Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from the
antenna, cable, cable box, or if using the examples on pages 6-11, a VCR.
AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT
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 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 from the TV 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 33 for instructions.
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 and R Audio Input jacks.
•
CMP1 L (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 and R
Audio
Allows you to connect a second component
video source. Their description is the same as CMP1 above. When using CMP2 Y PB
PR, make sure you 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 picture 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: For each VID jack group (VID1 and VID2), you may connect either an S-Video
or Video cable. Do not connect both at the same time in either of the VID jack
groups.
