JACKS AND CABLES
Below is a description of the jacks and cables you can use to make
connections. Note that not all cables come with your television unit.
S-Video Jack and Cable
The S-Video jack provides the best picture quality for your system.
This jack is available on this TV and is used in conjunction with audio
cables. Remember also to connect the left and right audio cables because
the S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)
The audio/video jacks provide very good picture and stereo sound quality.
Theses jacks are used for most audio/video connections between
components. The audio/video jacks are often color coded (yellow for
video, red for right audio, and white for left audio). If your component has
only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white L/Mono)
audio jack on the TV.
RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)
The RF jacks are necessary for reception of off-air broadcasts, cable, and
DIRECTV signals.
These jacks are required for antenna or cable connections. The RF and
coaxial jacks on the TV are labeled SATELLITE IN, ANTENNA A IN, and
ANTENNA B IN. An RG-6 coaxial cable is required for all satellite signal
distribution.
Optical Jack and Cables
The optical cable is used for connecting a Dolby Digital receiver. If you
own a Dolby Digital receiver that uses an optical cable-type input, you
can use an optical cable to connect the TV to that receiver for the best
sound quality.
Telephone Jack and Cord
The telephone line cord is required to connect your TV to a phone line if
you choose to subscribe to DIRECTV
® programming. The phone line
connection is used to periodically call out to DIRECTV. You will need an
RJ11 type modular jack, which is the most common type of phone jack
and might look like the one pictured here. If you don’t have a modular
jack, call your local telephone company to find out how to get one
installed.
