AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT Lets you connect an amplier or audio receiver for improved
sound quality. You can also connect a VCR or external monitor to the FIXED outputs.
• V Provides a standard-denition 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 denition from the analog antenna input. You can also connect
this output jack to an external monitor to watch standard denition programs.
Note: The V output does not carry video from the digital tuner.
• FIXED AUDIO L/R Provides xed-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
