Connecting Accessory Devices to Your TV
Component video inputs allow the highest pos-
ible color and picture resolution in the play-
back of digital signals, such as those of DVD
players. I_e color dzTJbrence signals (Pb, Pr) and
the luminance (Y) signal are connected and
received separately. I_e result is better color
bandwidth iq[brmation than is possible with com-
posite video (labeled VIDEO on your TV'sjack
panel) or S- Vzdeo connections.
To make the connections shown in this example,
you will need:
• three cablesjbr video connections (standard
RCA connectors)
• two eablesjbr audio connections (standard
RCA connectors).
NOTE: The cables are not supplied with your TV.
You should be able to buy them at most stores"
that sell electronics. Or you can call our
Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.
Connect the YPbPr (component)
VIDEO OUT jacks from the DVD player
to the INPUT-AV 1 YPbPr (component
video) jacks on the rear of the TV.
NOTE: The INPUT-AV 1 YPbPr jacks
will accept 480i (interlaced) output sig-
nals only. The connection example on this
page assumes the use ofa DVD player
with interlaced output. Some DVD play-
ers, howevel; have YPbPr outputs that can
be switched between interlaced and pro-
gressive scan. If you are attempting to use
a DVD player with progressive-scan
(480p outpu0 capability to make the con-
nection shown in this example, you must
be sure to switch the DVD player to inter-
laced. If necessary, refer to the DVD play-
er's directions-for-use manual for help. If
you want to use the DVD player in pro-
gressive-scan mode, you must use the
HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks (see page 14).
Connect the AUDIO OUT L(eft) and
R(ight) jacks from the DVD player to the
INPUT-AV 1AUDIO jacks on the rear of
the TV.
Press the AV button on the remote con-
trol as many times as necessary to select
the CVI (component video input) source
on the TV for the viewing of materials
from your DVD player.

• To simplify making conneclions,
the con-
nectors on audio and video cables are often
color coded. Tbe jaclcs on your TV are like-
wise color coded to match the connectors.
• The names fur the component video jacks
may differ depending on the DVD player or
accessory digital source equipment used.
For example, besides YPbPr, you may see
R-Y/B-Y/Y; or CrCbY. Althougb abbrevia-
lions and terms may vary, the letters B and
R stand for the blue and red color compo-
nent signal connectors, respectively, and Y
indicates the luminance signal. If necessary,
refer to the direclions-for-use manual for
your DVD or digital accessory for more
infonnalion.
• You can also connect a satellite receiver to
the TV in a manner similar to the example
shown on this page. If you connect a ,satel-
lite receiver to the TV, you will need to use
the receiver's channel-memorization system
to store channels in the receiver's memory.
• if you experience difficulties receiving
,sound with a DVD disc, check the ,sound
setlings through the DVD disc's menu.
• CVI is not accessiNe in the PIP window.
See page 8 in the Quick Use and Setup
Guide for more on the PIP feature.
