Connections & Setup
Chapter 1 21
CENTER SPEAKER INPUT
• INTERNAL SPEAKER SOURCE - TV / EXT AMP Switch
- TV Position Sound comes from TV’s internal speakers.
- EXT AMP Position Internal speakers are used for an external center
channel. When an external audio/video receiver’s center channel
output is connected to the TV’s center channel input, center channel
audio comes out of the TV’s internal speakers.
• CENTER CHANNEL TERMINALS Connect the audio/video receiver’s
center channel output to the TV’s center channel input. Switch the
INTERNAL SPEAKER SOURCE to EXT AMP position.
VIDEO/AUDIO INPUTS
VIDEO INPUT 1/AUDIO INPUT 1 Connect an NTSC (analog) component.
•V (VIDEO) provides composite video connection and connector is usually
yellow.
• L/MONO AUDIO provides left audio connection and connector is usually
white.
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.
•R AUDIO provides right audio connection and connector is usually red.
• S-VIDEO lets you connect an S-Video cable for better video quality picture
to a component with S-Video capability, such as a VCR or DVD player.
When using S-Video, make sure to connect the two audio cables as well as
the S-Video connector.
VIDEO INPUT 2/AUDIO INPUT 2 Provides connection to a second NTSC
(analog) video component such as a VCR. The jacks are as described for INPUT 1.
VIDEO INPUT 3/AUDIO INPUT 3 Connect an optional component (Y P

video source, such as a DVD player or satellite receiver. Note that it is essential to
match the color coded connectors between a compatible component and the TV.
• AUDIO R/L/MONO The audio jacks provide stereo sound. When connected,
audio volume from the main front and rear speakers are variable.
•V (VIDEO) provides composite video connection and connector is usually yellow.
