proper ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may
cause overheating, which may damage the TV.

Exploring your new TV
Connecting your TV
If you haven’t connected electronic equipment before, or
you have been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read
this section. (Cables are not supplied.)
• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from
your antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use
“F” connectors.
• Standard A/V (audio/video) cables are usually color
coded according to use: yellow for video and red and
white for audio. The red audio cable is for the stereo
right channel, and the white audio cable is for the stereo
left (or mono) channel. If you look at the rear panel of
the TV, you will see that the terminals are color coded in
the same manner as the cables.
• S-video cables provide better picture performance than
standard video cables. S-video cables can only be used
with S-video compatible components.
• Component video cables provide better picture
performance than S-video cables. Component video
cables can only be used with component video
compatible components.
• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable
is for use with video equipment that has HDMI
output (see page 13.)
• IR blaster cable is for use with video device with
IR (infrared) remote control.
• Optical/Coaxial cable is for use with AV amplifier
with built-in digital surround (Dolby Digital or
PCM.)
NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT A PC
USING ONE OF THE HDMI INPUTS.
ALWAYS use the VGA port provided to connect a PC.
