Explanation of Jacks (in alphabetical order)

This section describes the jacks you can use to make connections. There are several ways to
connect components to your TV.

ANTENNA/CABLE Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from the
antenna, cable, cable box, or if using the examples on pages 6-11, a VCR.

AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT Lets you connect an amplifier or audio receiver for improved
sound quality or an external video monitor.

• FIXED AUDIO L/R Provides fixed-level audio output from the TV. This audio

output is ideal for connecting an A/V receiver when you want to control the volume
through the A/V receiver.

• VARIABLE AUDIO Provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels are

controlled by the volume controls on the TV and remote control.

• SUBWOOFER Provides lower bass audio frequencies from the TV to a subwoofer.

Note: If you’ve connected a subwoofer, make sure you set the External Subwoofer
option in the Sound menu. Go to page 33 for instructions.

COMPONENT INPUTS Lets you connect a component video source, such as a DVD
player.

• CMP1 Y PB PR (Component Video) Provides optimum picture quality because

the video is separated into three signals. Use three video-grade cables for the
connection. When using CMP1 Y PB PR, make sure to connect left and right audio
cables to the CMP1 L and R Audio Input jacks.

• CMP1 L (Audio) Provides left audio connection. The left audio connector is

usually white.

• CMP1 R (Audio) Provides right audio connection. The right audio connector is

usually red.

• CMP2 Y PB PR, and L and R Audio Allows you to connect a second component

video source. Their description is the same as CMP1 above. When using CMP2 Y PB
PR, make sure you connect the left and right audio cables to the CMP2 Audio jacks.

COMPOSITE INPUTS Lets you connect another component such as a VCR, DVD
player, or laserdisc player. Its AUDIO jacks are the same as described for CMP1 above.

• VID1 S-VIDEO Provides better picture quality than the video jacks (VID1 and 2

Video) because the color part of the picture is separated from the black and white
part of the picture. When using VID1 S-VIDEO, make sure to connect left and right
audio cables to the VID1 L/MONO and R Audio Input jacks.

• VID1 V (Video) Provides composite video connection. The video connector is

usually yellow.

• VID2 S-VIDEO, V and L/MONO and R Audio Allows you to connect a component

such as a VCR, DVD player, or laserdisc player. Their description is the same as
VID1 above.

Note: For each VID jack group (VID1 and VID2), you may connect either an S-Video
or Video cable. Do not connect both at the same time in either of the VID jack
groups.
