CONNECTING AN HD R
ECEIVER
T
his example shows you how you may connect
an HD receiver to the TV. See the receiver’s
directions-for-use manual for more information.
NOTE: The HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks are designed
to accept high-definition signal standards 1080i
and 480p as specified by the Electronic Industries
Association standard EIA770.3. Because output
standards may vary by manufacturer, you may
encounter some digital equipment that will not
properly display pictures on the TV.
To make the connections shown in this example,
you will need:
• one S-VIDEO cable
• three cables for video connections (standard
RCA connectors)
• four cables for audio connections (standard
RCA connectors)
• one coaxial cable (75Ω).
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.

Connecting Accessory Devices to Your TV
BEGIN
• Making a standard connection along with the HD connection as shown
in the example (S-VIDEO) on this page will allow you to see the receiv-
er’s onscreen menu and a picture (valid signal) from the receiver should
it be switched to standard-definition mode.
• The HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks are for standard RCA connectors. Your HD
receiver may use RCA or BNC output jacks. If your HD receiver comes
with BNC jacks, you will need to purchase BNC-to-RCA adapters to
connect the receiver to the TV. You should be able to purchase these
adapters at stores that sell electronics. Or you can call our Customer
Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.
• The HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks are compatible with some digital equipment
having RGB outputs with “sync on green” or RGB with “separate H and V
sync.” Output standards for digital equipment, however, may vary by manu-
facturer. No industry standards have been established for HD television RGB
signal systems, timing, synchronization, and signal strengths. If the digital
equipment you want to connect to your TV offers both component video and
RGB outputs, component video is the suggested connection to use.
• 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 HD receiver’s or TV’s color-space setting. See the
receiver’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 feature does not function with the
HD INPUT-AV
4
signal source. AV4 cannot be accessed in the PIP window, nor can the
PIP window be accessed when AV4 is being viewed on the main screen.
