Explanation of Jacks
This section describes the jacks you can use for connections. There are several ways to connect devices to your TV.
Back Panel Jacks (in alphabetical order)
ANTENNA/CABLE ANALOG INPUT Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal
from the antenna, cable, cable box, or a VCR. This input jack is for analog signals only.
ANTENNA DIGITAL INPUT Lets you connect the coaxial cable from an off-air antenna to
receive the off-air digital signals.
Note: Do not connect a digital cable signal to this input.
AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT Lets you connect an amplifier or audio receiver for improved
sound quality. You can also connect a VCR or external monitor to the FIXED outputs.
• V Provides a standard-definition video output from your TV. You can use this video
output along with the FIXED AUDIO L/R outputs to connect a VCR for recording
programs in standard definition from the analog antenna input. You can also connect
this output jack to an external monitor to watch standard definition programs.
Note: The V output does not carry video from the digital tuner.
• FIXED AUDIO L/R Provides fixed-level audio output from the TV. You can use
these audio outputs along with the video output to connect a VCR for recording. You
can also connect this audio output to an A/V receiver when you want to control the
volume through the A/V receiver.
• VARIABLE AUDIO Provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels are controlled
by the volume controls on the TV and remote control.
• SUBWOOFER Provides lower bass audio frequencies from the TV to a subwoofer.
Note: If you’ve connected a subwoofer, make sure you set the External Subwoofer
option in the Sound menu. Go to page 42 for instructions.
