CONNECTING A DVD PLAYER WITH PROGRESSIVE-SCAN CAPABILITY
T
he following instructions explain how to con-
nect a DVD player with progressive-scan
capability to the HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks on your
TV.
To make the connections, you will need:
• three cables for video connections (standard
RCA connectors)
• two cables for audio connections (standard
RCA connectors).
NOTE: The cables are not supplied with your TV.
You should be able to buy them at most stores
that sell electronics. Or you can call our
Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.

DVD player in progressive-scan mode,

• If after connecting your DVD player your
display is filled with wavy lines, it may be
that your DVD player is not set to progres-
sive-scan mode. Some DVD players have an
I/P (interlaced/progressive scan) switch
located on the back or front of the players for
changing from interlaced to progressive-scan
mode. Other DVD players may allow the
mode to be changed by pressing a button on
the DVD player’s remote control or by using
the DVD player’s onscreen menu. If the
interlaced/progressive-scan selection
option is provided only through the DVD
onscreen menu, you will need to connect
the DVD player to another AV input
source in addition to HD INPUT-AV 4 to
see the DVD menu. Select this additional
AV source on screen to see the DVD menu
and choose progressive-scan mode. You
will then be able to see the DVD picture
through the AV4 source.
• Some DVD players have dedicated progres-
sive-scan output jacks that are labeled as
such and require no switching to provide a
picture through the HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks.
See your DVD player’s directions-for-use
manual for information.
• The default color-space setting for the HD
INPUT-AV 4 jacks is YPbPr. RGB is also
an option. If the picture’s color looks
grossly incorrect, try changing either the
DVD player’s or TV’s color-space setting.
See the DVD player’s directions-for-use
manual for information on setting its color
space. Or see page 56 in this manual for
setting the TV’s color space.
• The Picture-in-Picture (PIP) feature does
not function with HD INPUT-AV 4.
HELPFUL HINTS
If you experience difficulties receiving
sound with a DVD disc, check the sound
settings through the DVD disc’s menu.
HELPFUL HINT
To prevent uneven picture-tube aging, do not
leave nonmoving images or black borders on
the screen for an extended period. See page 57.
