Notes
: When recording from this output, remember to tune to the channel
you are recording.
If an unusual pattern appears when you connect your VCR input to the
RECORD OUTPUT, playing a tape or switching to the VCR’s tuner removes the
pattern.
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
Use a digital optical cable (or SPDIF cable) to connect
your TV to a compatible Dolby Digital or PCM receiver or decoder. Dolby Digital
offers theatre-quality sound (six audio channels). Use the
Digital Audio Out
screen
in the
Audio
menu to select
Auto Select
or
PCM
as the output for this jack.
ETHERNET
Connect a router, cable modem, or Digital Subscriber Line to the TV
using an Ethernet cable (CAT 5). Do not connect a telephone cable because of risk
of fire or shock. A green light on the jack means that an active network has been
detected. An orange light means the data is either being sent or received.
DTVLink
Use either or both connectors to connect compatible DTVLink (IEEE-
1394) components but don’t loop the components together. When connecting
several components, use a hub or component-to component method. Be sure to
connect the fastest of the 1394 components closer to the connection point of the
TV and the slower components furthest away. Details on page 16.
ANTENNA A INPUT / ANTENNA B INPUTs
Used to connect an off-air antenna
and/or cable TV signal to the TV. If you have both cable and air, connect cable to
ANTENNA A and off-air to ANTENNA B. If you have air only, connect it to
ANTENNA A. These inputs are also used to receive programming and connect
older components.
G-LINK
Connect the G-LINK cable for VCR one touch recording and/or cable box
control with GUIDE Plus+ system.
