Component Video (Y•Pb•Pr) Jacks and Cables
The Y•Pb•Pr jacks allow you to connect an optional component video source,
such as a DVD player. This connection provides excellent picture quality
because the video is separated into three signals. To ensure maximum picture
quality, use three video-grade cables for the connection.
Note: Also, remember to connect the left and right audio cables because
the Y•Pb•Pr cables carry only the picture signal, not the sound.
S-Video Jacks and Cables
The S-Video (super video) jacks provide better picture quality than the regular
video jacks because the color (chrominance, also called chroma) part of the
signal is separated from the black and white (luminance) part of the picture.
If a component you’re connecting to your TV (like a DVD player) has an
S-VIDEO jack and composite video, connect the DVD player to the TV with an
S-Video cable (not provided) for a better quality picture.
Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the
S-Video cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
Composite Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)
These jacks are used for most audio/video connections between components.
The audio/video jacks are often color coded (yellow for video, red for right
audio, and white for left audio). This is also called composite video.
Note: If your component has only one output for audio (mono), connect it
to the left (white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don’t connect the
right audio part of the cable.
RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)
RF jacks are used for reception of off-air broadcasts and cable signals or for
connecting components that have only RF outputs. The RF and coaxial jacks on
the TV are labeled ANTENNA A INPUT and ANTENNA B INPUT.
