Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type) — Very Good Video and Audio
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 input 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) — Good Video and Audio
The RF jacks are necessary for reception of off-air broadcasts, cable, and DIRECTV
signals.
These jacks are required for antenna or cable connections. The RF and coaxial jacks
on the TV are labeled SATELLITE IN, ANTENNA A IN, and ANTENNA B IN.
An RG-6 coaxial cable is required for all satellite signal distribution.
RF Jack
Telephone Jack and Cord (optional)
If you choose to subscribe to DIRECTV
®
programming, a phone line connection is
used to periodically call out to DIRECTV on a toll free number. Connect a
telephone line cord to the PHONE jack on the back of your TV and to an RJ11 type
modular jack (the most common type of phone jack and might look like the one
pictured here). If you don’t have a modular jack, call your local telephone
company to find out how to get one installed.
