Allow you to connect accessory devices such
as DVD players. Separating the video into
three signals, these inputs provide excellent
quality. Accepts 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i. Be
sure to connect the left and right audio cables,
because the Y, Pb, Pr jacks receive only the
picture signal.
NOTE: See the “Helpful Hint” on page 13
for more information.
S-Video Input Jacks
Cable used: S-Video
Provide a higher quality picture than the
Video (composite) jacks because the color
part of the picture is separated from the black
and white portion. Be sure to connect the left

phono plugs
Provide better picture performance than the
antenna RF input. Be sure to connect the
audio cables, because the video jacks receive
only the picture signal.
Your TV also has a monitor output (“MON
OUT”) video (“V”) jack. Use a video cable
with RCA-type phono plug to make connec-
tions.
Tuner (RF) Input Jack
Cables used: RF coaxial cable (75Ω)
Allows you to connect an antenna, cable TV,
or components having RF outputs to the
antenna input on the TV. RF coaxial cables
are available in push-on or screw-on type.
Audio Input Jacks
Cables used:Audio with RCA-type
phono plugs
Provide sound for the video inputs. If your
accessory device has only one output for
audio, connect it to the left (color coded
white) audio jack on the TV.
Your TV also has monitor output (“MON
OUT”) audio (“L” and “R”) jacks and a sub-
woofer output jack. Use Audio cables with
RCA-type phono plugs to make connections.
