SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
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.
ColorStream™ Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)
ColorStream cables come in sets of three and provide the best picture performance.
ColorStream cables can only be used with ColorStream (component video) compatible
components.
S-Video Jack and Cable
The S-Video jack provides better picture quality for your system. This jack is available on
this TV and is used in conjunction with audio cables. Remember 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
A 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.
