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.
��������
�����
COMPONENT INPUT 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.
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.
