Setup and Connections
Advanced Connections
Advanced connections give you better sound and video by separating
the audio and video signals and enable you to connect multiple
components.
This section describes the types of inputs available on the back of your
TV and suggests ways you can use them for optimum performance.
Back of the TV
The diagram below describes each of the back panel jacks. When
connecting A/V cables, be sure to connect corresponding OUTPUTS and
INPUTS (Video to Video, Right Audio to Right Audio, etc.).
Once you have made your connections
you will want to program the TV to tune
to the correct Video INPUT channel in
order to see and hear audio and video
from the component. You will program
this later in the
Interactive Setup.
