COMPONENT INPUTS Lets you connect a component video source, such as a DVD
player.
• CMP1 Y Pb Pr (Component Video) Provides optimum picture quality because the
video is separated into three signals. Use three video-grade cables for the connection.
When using CMP1 Y Pb Pr, make sure to connect left and right audio cables to the
CMP1 L and R Audio Input jacks.
• CMP1 L (Audio) Provides left audio connection. The left audio connector is usually
white.
• CMP1 R (Audio) Provides right audio connection. The right audio connector is usually
red.
• CMP2 Y Pb Pr, and L and R Audio Allows you to connect a second component video
source. Their description is the same as CMP1 above. When using CMP2 Y Pb Pr, make
sure you connect the left and right audio cables to the CMP2 Audio jacks.
COMPOSITE INPUTS Lets you connect another device such as a VCR or DVD player. Its
AUDIO jacks are the same as described for CMP1 above.
• VID1 S-VIDEO Provides better picture quality than the video jacks (VID1 and 2 Video)
because the color part of the picture is separated from the black and white part of the
picture. When using VID1 S-VIDEO, make sure to connect left and right audio cables to
the VID1 L/MONO and R Audio Input jacks.
• VID1 V (Video) Provides composite video connection. The video connector is usually
yellow.
• VID2 S-VIDEO, V and L/MONO and R Audio Allows you to connect a device such as
a VCR or DVD player. Their description is the same as VID1 above.
Note: For each VID jack group (VID1 and VID2), you may connect either an S-Video or
Video cable. Do not connect both at the same time in either of the VID jack groups.
DVI-HDTV Input Lets you connect a device with a DVI output.
Important: The DVI-HDTV input is not intended for use with a computer.
• DVI (Digital Visual Interface) Provides an uncompressed, digital video interface
developed for high-bandwidth digital connection. It supports the overlay of high-
resolution graphics needed by some electronic program guide navigation and other
interactive services. DVI, when combined with HDCP (High bandwidth Digital
Content Protection) technology, creates a protected digital connection. The DVI-HDTV
connection is designed to display either progressive scan (480p) or HDTV (1080i)
signals at a bandwidth of up to 1.78 Gigabits per second.
• L (Audio) Provides left audio connection when using the DVI jack. The left audio
connector is usually white.
• R (Audio) Provides right audio connection when using the DVI jack. The right audio
connector is usually red.
Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the DVI cable
carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
