Setup and Connections
Sample Connections
The following are sample connection scenarios you may encounter
when connecting components to your TV. Note: those components
which offer an S-Video connection, such as DVD, VCR or satellite
receivers, must match their S-Video connection with their audio INPUT
connection.
Cables
You will use the following types of cables to
make your connection:
Coaxial Cables: Carry the signal from the
antenna or cable directly to the television or
through a cable box, as needed by your
cable system.
Audio/Video Cables: Carry audio and video
from a component to the TV.
S-Video Cable: Carry video from an S-Video
capable component which provides best
picture quality.
TV and Stereo VCR
Compared to the Basic Connection, using Audio/Video and
S-Video (if available) cables will enhance the sound and picture quality
from a component.
Cautions:
Position Cables to Avoid Audio Hum
or Interference
• Insert all cables firmly into jacks.
• Place the audio/video cables to the
sides of the TV’s back panel instead of
straight down the middle.
• Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and
keep them away from the audio/video
cables.
Protect Your Components From
Overheating
• Do not block ventilation holes in any of
the components. Arrange the
components so that air can circulate
freely.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when
placing your components in a stand.
• Place an amplifier on the top shelf of
the stand so heated air rising from it
will not flow around other
components.
How to View Your VCR
To watch the VCR in this connection, press TV to put the
remote control into TV mode, then press WHO•INPUT to
toggle through the video (VID) inputs.
In the Interactive Setup section you can program the TV to
automatically tune to the VID input channel when you turn
on the VCR.
Most Audio/Video cables are
combined into one cable with
three heads on each end.
We show individual
cables in these
sample connections.
Either may be used, but
you must be sure to connect
Video to Video, Right to Right
and Left to Left.
