device connected to the TV.
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT Use a digital optical cable (or SPDIF cable) to
connect your TV to a compatible Dolby Digital or PCM receiver or decoder.
Dolby Digital offers theatre-quality sound (six audio channels). Use the Digital
Audio Out screen in the Audio menu to select Auto Select or PCM as the output
for this jack.
G-LINK Uses to connect the G-LINK cable for VCR one touch recording and/
or cable box control with GUIDE Plus+ System.
ETHERNET Used to connect a router, cable modem, or Digital Subscribe Line
to the TV using an RJ-45 cable (NIC). Do not connect telephone cable because
of risk of fire, shock, etc. A green light on the jack means that an active
network has been detected. An orange light means the data either is being sent
or received.
DTVLINK Used to connect a compatible DTVLink (1394) device. With two
devices, you can either connect them to each other and then to the TV or
connect each to a separate 1394 connector. For several devices, be sure to
connect the faster of the 1394 devices in the link closer to the connection point
of the TV and the slower devices furthest away. Do not loop the devices.
ANTENNA A INPUT / ANTENNA B INPUTs Used to connect an off-air
“terrestrial” antenna and/or cable TV signal to the TV. If you have both cable
and air, connect cable to ANTENNA A and off-air to ANTENNA B. If you have
air only, connect it to ANTENNA A.
Note: You can use the ANTENNA B (or ANTENNA A) for video games and
switch between the two inputs using the ANTENNA button on the remote
control. When using TV games, computers, and similar products with your
TV, keep the contrast at a low setting. If a fixed (non-moving) pattern is
left on the screen for a long period of time at a high contrast setting, the
image can be permanently imprinted onto the picture tubes. These types
of imprints are not covered by your warranty.
