Connecting your TV
If you have not connected electronic equipment before, or you have
been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section.
Note: Cables are not supplied.
• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.
• Audio and video cables are usually color coded according to use:
yellow for video; red and white for audio. The red audio cable is
for the stereo right channel; the white audio cable is for the stereo
(or mono) left channel. If you look at the rear panel of the TV,
you will see that the terminals are color coded in the same manner
as the cables.
• S-video cables provide better picture performance. S-video cables
can be used only with S-video compatible components.
• ColorStream
TM
cables come in sets of three and provide the best
picture performance. ColorStream cables can be used only with
ColorStream compatible components.
