Things to Consider Before You Connect

Protect Against Power Surges

• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.

• Turn off the TV and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.

• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet

packed with your TV.

Protect Components from Overheating

• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can

circulate freely.

• Don’t stack components.

• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won’t

flow around other components.

Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference

• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of

straight down the middle of the back of the TV.

• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables

away from audio/video cables.

Important Stand and Base Safety Information

Choose the location for your TV carefully. Place the TV on a stand or base that is of adequate size and

strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause

personal injury and/or damage the TV. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheet packed with your TV.

Use Indirect Light

Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect

lighting.

Connection Pictures

Audio/video cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection pictures in this book

show each cable separately (audio left, audio right, and video).

Cables Needed to Connect Components to Your TV

The pictures below show the cables needed for the connections represented in this book.

Notes: Audio/Video cables (A/V cables for short) are usually sold as a bundled set, but the connection pictures

in this book show each cable separately for better visibility.

Jacks on the Back of the TV

This section describes each of the jacks on the back of the TV. When connecting A/V cables, be sure to

connect corresponding outputs to inputs (video to video, right audio to right audio, etc.)

VPORT Go to page 4 for VPORT explanation.

CABLE/ANTENNA Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from the antenna, cable or cable

box.

INPUT1 Lets you connect a component such as a VCR, DVD

player, satellite receiver or laserdisc player.

• VIDEO provides composite video connection. The video

connector is usually yellow.

• R AUDIO provides right audio connection. The right audio

connector is usually red.

• L AUDIO provides left audio connection. The left audio

connector is usually white.

• S-VIDEO provides better picture quality than the regular

video jacks (INPUT1 and INPUT 2 VIDEO) because the color

part of the signal is separated from the black and white

part of the picture. When using S-Video, make sure to

connect left and right audio cables to the R-AUDIO-L

INPUT1 jacks.

INPUT2 Lets you connect a second component such as a VCR,

internet access device, DVD player, or laserdisc player. Its AUDIO

and VIDEO jacks are the same as described for INPUT1 above.

•Y,P

B, 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 Y, PB, PR, make sure to connect left and right audio

cables to the R-AUDIO-L INPUT2 jacks.

AUDIO OUT R/L Lets you connect an amplifier or audio

receiver for improved sound quality.
