omponent Video inputs provide for the
highest possible color and picture resolu-
on in the playback of digital signal source
material, such as with DVD players. The
olor difference signals (Pb, Pr) and the
uminance (Y) signal are connected and
eceived separately, which allows for
mproved color bandwidth information (not
ossible when using composite video or S-
Video connections).
1
Connect the Component (Y, Pb,
Pr) Video OUT
jacks from the
DVD player (or similar device) to the
(Y, Pb, Pr) in(put) jack on the TV.
When using the Component Video
Inputs, it is best not to connect a
signal to the AV in Video Jack.
2
Connect the red and white
AUDIO CABLES
to the Audio
(left and right) output jacks on the
rear of the accessory device to the
Audio (L and R) AV In Input Jacks
on the TV.
3
Turn the TV and the DVD (or
digital accessory device) ON.

Press the AV button or the
CH + or CH – buttons
to scroll
the available channels until CVI
appears in the upper left corner of
the TV screen.
5
Insert a DVD disc into the DVD
player and

button on the DVD Player.
The description for the component video con-
nectors may differ depending on the DVD player
or accessory digital source equipment used (for
example, Y, Pb, Pr; Y, B-Y, R-Y; Y, Cr, Cb).
Although abbreviations and terms may vary, the
letters
b
and
r
stand for the blue and red color

ital accessory owner’s manual for definitions and

NOTE: When using additional accessories, only one
external source will be audible, as there is only one
set of sound inputs. Component Video (CVI) input
will dominate over all other inputs, including S-Video
(S-VHS) and AV. When S-Video (S-VHS) is used, it
will dominate over the AV input.
