12
• S-VIDEO connections are provided for high performance laserdisc players, VCRs etc. that have this feature. Use these con-
nections in place of the standard video connection if your device has this feature.
• If your device has only one audio output (mono sound), connect it to the left audio jack on the television.
• Refer to the operating guide of your other electronic equipment for additional information on connecting your hook-up cables.
• A single VCR can be used for VCR #1 and VCR #2, but note that a VCR cannot record its own video or line output (INPUT: 3 in
the example on page 11). Refer to your VCR operating guide for more information on line input-output connections.
• You may use VIDEO or S-VIDEO inputs to connect to Input 3, Input 4 or Input 5, but only one of these may be used at a time.
• Connect only 1 component (VCR, DVD player, camcorder, etc.) to each input jack.
• COMPONENT: Y-PBPR (Input 1 &2) connections are provided for high performance components, such as DVD players and set-
top-boxes. Use these connections in place of the standard video connection if your device has this feature. Input 2 accepts both
composite and component video signals.
• Your component outputs may be labeled Y, B-Y, and R-Y. In this case, connect the components B-Y output to the TV’s PB input
and the components R-Y output to the TV’s PR input.
• Your component outputs may be labeled Y-CBCR. In this case, connect the components CB output to the TV’s PB input and the
components CR output to the TV’s PR input.
• You may use composite video signal for Input 2~Input 5.
• It may be necessary to adjust TINT to obtain optimum picture quality when using the Y-PBPR inputs (see page 39).
• To ensure no copyright infringement, the MONITOR OUT output will be abnormal, when using the Y-PBPR jacks.
• When using a DVI input from a Set-Top-Box, it is recommended to use a 1080i or 720p input signal.
