ou can connect a wide range of video and
audio devices to your TV, in various ways.
This page and the next one provide an overview
of signal compatibilities and the types of
devices you can connect to the jacks.
Connection examples follow on subsequent
pages. See pages 1 and 2 of the Quick Use and
Setup Guide that came with your set for exam-
ples of basic connections. Also see page 6 of
that publication for a Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
connection example. You may also want to refer
to the user instructions that came with each
particular device for information on connec-
tions.
What You Can Connect to the
Standard Panel Jacks
1
ANTENNA IN 75Ω jack—use to con-
nect radio-frequency (RF) signals from
VHF/UHF antennas or a cable system.
These are 480i signals.
2
YPbPr (component video input [CVI]
jacks)—compatible with 480i signals
only. Use to connect accessories having
component video outputs, such as DVD
players, laser-disc players, video-game
players, satellite receivers, or other
devices. Use the INPUT-AV 1 L(eft) and
R(ight) AUDIO jacks for sound connec-
tions. CVI is not accessible in the PIP
window.
3
S-VIDEO (super video) jacks—com-
patible with 480i signals only. Use to
connect accessories having Super VHS
(S-VHS) outputs, such as VCRs, DVD
players, laser-disc players, video-game
players, satellite receivers, or other
devices.
4
VIDEO (composite) jacks (INPUT-AV
1,
INPUT-AV 2, and TV’s side jack panel
[AV3])—compatible with 480i signals
only. Use to connect accessories having
composite video outputs, such as VCRs,
video-game players, or other devices.
5
AUDIO inputs (INPUT-AV 1,
INPUT-AV 2, and TV’s side jack panel
[AV3])—use to connect from the audio
output jacks on VCRs, DVDs, or other
accessories.
6
OUTPUT (VIDEO/AUDIO)—video is
compatible with 480i signals only. Use to
connect to a VCR to record programs
from the TV. Or use the AUDIO outputs
to connect to an audio hi-fi system.
7
n Headphone jack—use to connect
headphones for personal listening.

NOTE: The
TV recognizes
the side jack
panel as AV3.
• Signals connected to the HD INPUT-AV 4
or HD INPUT-AV 5 inputs will provide you
with the best picture. Examples of sources
for such signals are a progressive-scan DVD
player (480p) or an HD receiver (1080i or
480p) with YPbPr or RGB outputs. The
1080i signals will provide you with the best
picture possible. Devices with RGB outputs
may or may not have H and V sync outputs
to connect to the HD INPUT-AV 4 H and V
SYNC inputs (see page 57). Instructions for
selecting the AV4 color space (YPbPr or
RGB) are on page 59.
• Among the 480i-compatible inputs
(ANTENNA IN 75Ω, INPUT AV-1, INPUT
AV-2, and the side jack panel), you will get
the best picture from the component video
inputs (labeled YPbPr). The S-Video inputs
will provide the next-best level of picture
quality.
