Connecting external equipment with a composite
AV video cable
If the best connection available on your device is AV or composite video output, connect it to the TV
using a composite AV cable (not provided). Composite AV cables typically have three RCA-type plugs on
each end, color coded as follows:
•
Yellow
– Video
•
Red
– Audio, right channel
•
White or black
– Audio, left channel
Connect each plug to the corresponding connector on the device and on the TV.
Note
:
Select models have an AV Input that looks like a headphone jack. Use the breakout cable
(included) to adapt this input to the three RCA-type plugs on your composite cable.
Connecting external equipment with an HDMI
®
cable
If possible, connect your devices using HDMI
®
cables (not provided). They help to
provide the best video quality and also carry audio signals, so that only one cable is
needed. For better picture quality, we recommend that you use cables designated as
High Speed HDMI
®
Cables.
Tip
:
You might need to configure the device to send its signal through its HDMI
®
connector.
The connector labeled
HDMI IN (ARC)
has the additional ability to use the audio
return channel to send digital audio to a receiver or sound bar, as explained in
Connecting an AV receiver or digital sound bar
