ou can connect a wide range of video and
audio components to your TV, in various
ways. This page and the next one provide an
overview of signal compatibilities and the types
of components 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. You may also want to
refer to the user instructions that came with
each particular device for information on con-
nections.
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 cannot be displayed 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.

480i (480 lines, interlaced)
• 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 out-
puts. 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
HD INPUT-AV 4 and AV 5 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 compo-
nent video inputs (labeled YPbPr). The
S-Video inputs will provide the next-best
level of picture quality.
HELPFUL HINTS
The side jack-panel inputs (recognized by the
TV as AV3) are convenient for connecting a
camcorder. See page 16.
