Connecting an antenna, cable TV, or
satellite TV box
To connect an antenna, cable TV, or satellite TV box:
• Connect one end of a 75-Ohm, coaxial cable to the ANT/CABLE
IN jack on the back of the TV, then connect the other end of the
cable to the antenna or cable TV wall jack.
• If you are connecting a satellite TV or cable box, you can use one
of the following (if available):
• Acceptable - 75-ohm coaxial cable.
• Good - Video composite cable
• Better - S-Video cable
• Better - Video component cables
• Best - HDMI cable
Notes:
• We recommend using a 75-Ohm, coaxial cable to reduce interference
and noise that may be caused by radio wave transmissions.
• Do not bundle the coaxial cable with the power cord or any other
cables.
• If you are using an antenna and reception is not good, contact a
service technician to adjust the antenna.
Connecting a VCR
Note: If the VCR has an S-Video jack (good), component jacks (better), or
an HDMI jack (best), connect the VCR using the best available
connection.
To connect a VCR:
1 Make sure that your TV’s power cord is unplugged and the VCR is
turned off.
2 Connect one end of a standard AV cable (not included) into the
AV1 IN VIDEO jack on the back of the TV, then connect the other
end of the cable to the AV OUT VIDEO jack on the VCR.
-OR-
For a better picture, you can connect an S-Video cable to the
S-VIDEO OUT jack on the VCR and the S-VIDEO1 jack on your TV.
Note: Cable connectors and jacks are often color-coded. Match the colors
when you connect the AV cable.
3 Connect the audio connectors of the AV cable (the red and white
connectors) to the AV OUT AUDIO jacks of the VCR, then connect
them to the AV1 IN AUDIO-L and AUDIO-R jacks on the back of
your TV.
To play the VCR:
1 Turn on the TV, then press INPUT. The INPUT SOURCE menu
opens.
2 Press or to select AV1 or S-Video1, then press ENTER.
Note: You can also press VIDEO once to select AV1 or three times for
S-Video1.
3 Turn on the VCR, insert a videotape, then press PLAY on the VCR.
Connecting a camcorder or game console
Note: If your game console has an HDMI connection, you will get better
quality using the HDMI connection instead of the AV connection.
To connect a camcorder or game console:
1 Make sure that your TV’s power cord is unplugged and the
camcorder or game console is turned off.
2 Connect one end of a standard AV cable (not included) into the
AV2 IN VIDEO jack on the side of the TV, then connect the other
end of the cable to the AV OUT VIDEO jack on the camcorder or
game console.
Note: Cable connectors and jacks are often color-coded. Match the colors
when you connect the AV cable.
