is usually red.

S-VIDEO lets you connect an S-Video cable for better video quality
picture to a component with S-Video capability, such as a VCR or

component, such as a VCR or laserdisc. Its jacks are the same as described
for INPUTS 1 and 2.

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT

Use to connect an optional component

video source, such as a DVD player. This connection provides optimum
quality. Note that it is essential to match the color coded connectors
between a compatible device and the monitor.

Grey side panels protecting against screen burn-in are not always
generated when watching a 4:3 image via the COMPONENT VIDEO
INPUT jacks. Therefore, limited viewing of a 4:3 image is recommended
when no side panels are present.
Also note that when watching an
image via the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks, you will not be able to
manipulate the screen format.

• AUDIO R/L

The audio jacks provide stereo sound. When connected,

audio volume from the main front and rear speakers is variable
audio.

Unlike a single video input, component video maintains the

video signal as three separate signals through these three jacks. To
ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for
the Y, P

B

, and P

R

connections.

AUDIO OUTPUTS

• FIXED L/R

Provides fixed-level audio output from the television.

This audio output is ideal for audio recording or for connecting to
an A/V receiver amplifier (an auxiliary baseband component) when
you want to control the volume through the A/V receiver instead of
the TV.

• VARIABLE L/R

Use to connect an A/V receiver or amplifier (an

auxiliary baseband component) for variably-controlled stereo
output.

• RIGHT and LEFT Speaker Terminals

Use to connect external

speakers for right and left surround sound.

• INT. / EXT. (switch)

INT sends audio only to the monitor’s internal

speakers. EXT sends audio to only external speakers.

To turn the TV’s internal speakers on and
off, press MENU on the remote control
and choose Audio
. Then choose Speakers
from the menu.
