VIDEO 1
VIDEO, AUDIO R and L/MONO INPUTS
Used to connect components such as a VCR, DVD
player, camcorder, or video game consoles with audio/video outputs. These jacks are used for most
audio/video connections between components.
Note:
If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left
(white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don't connect the right audio part of the cable.
•
R (RIGHT) AUDIO
Provides right audio connection. The right audio cable is usually red.
•
L (LEFT)/MONO AUDIO
Provides left audio connection. The left audio cable is usually
white.
•
VIDEO
Provides composite video connection. The video cable is usually yellow.
•
S-VIDEO
Provides better picture quality than the video jacks because the color part of the
signal is separated from the black and white part of the picture. When using S-VIDEO IN,
make sure to connect left and right audio cables to the L/MONO and R AUDIO Input jacks
(an S-Video cable is required).
DSCI PORT
This port is used to transfer information between a TV and other devices, such as a
clone box or interactive system. This port is an eight-pin telephone-type port. When the TV receives
a message via the DSCI (digital serial communications interface) port, it will act in accordance with
the digital instructions received. For more information on its connection and operation, please
contact your distributor or the supplier of the interactive system.
