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.
1
Connect from the YPrPb jacks on
the
rear of the DVD player to the
HD INPUT-
AV 4 G/Y, R/Pr, B/Pb jacks
on the rear of the TV.
2
Connect from the L(eft) and R(ight)
AUDIO OUT jacks on the rear of the
DVD player to the HD INPUT-AV 4
AUDIO L(eft) and R(ight) jacks on the rear
of the TV
.
3
Make sure the DVD player is in pro-
gressive-scan mode. You will not get a
viewable picture through the HD
INPUT-AV 4 jacks if the DVD player is
in interlaced mode.
For more information on placing your
DVD player in progressive-scan mode,
see the DVD player’s directions-for-use
manual. Also, see the Helpful Hints to
the right. The way in which progres-
sive-scan mode is selected varies among
DVD players.
4
Press the AV button on your TV remote
control as many times as necessary to
select the
AV4 signal source for the view-
ing of materials from your progressive-
scan DVD player.
• 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 on-screen menu. If the
interlaced/progressive-scan selection
option is provided only through the DVD
on-screen 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 59 in this manual to set
the TV’s color space.
• The Picture-in-Picture (PIP) feature does
not function with AV4 or AV5.
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 border bars on the
screen for an extended period. See page 60.
