ADVANCED
CONNECTIONS
Once you have made your connections
you will need to program the TV to tune
to the correct Video INPUT channel in
order to see and hear audio and video
from the component. You will program
this later in the Interactive Setup.
Advanced connections give you better sound and video by separating
the audio and video signals and enabling you to connect multiple
components.
This section describes the types of inputs available on the back of your
TV and suggests ways you can use them for optimum performance.

Sample Connections
Cautions:
The following are sample connection scenarios you may encounter when
connecting components to your TV. Note: those components which offer
an S-Video connection, such as DVD, VCR or satellite receivers, must
match their S-Video connection with their audio INPUT connection.
Position Cables to Avoid Audio Hum
or Interference
• Insert all cables firmly into jacks.
• Place the audio/video cables to the
sides of the TV's back panel instead of
straight down the middle.
Cables
You will use the following
types of cables to make your connection:

• Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and

PARENTAL
CONTROLS
AND
V-CH IP
The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your TV so that children
cannot see certain programs, channels, or use the front panel controls.
The first three choices in the Parental Controls
menu involve software
inside
your TV (dubbed V-Chip) which allows you to "block" TV programs and movies
based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not
view. In other words, it lets you program your TV so it will not display certain
programs. Once you block programs, you or other adults are not limited to only
parent-approved
programs; you can "unblock"
programs by entering a
password.
The software inside your TV comes turned

"off,"
so if you choose not to
When turned "on," the software reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the
software the program's age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes (Violence (V), Adult Language (L),
etc.). If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message,
"This channel is not approved for viewing," when you turn to that particular channel. Broadcasters are not required
to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their agebased rating. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of "Not Rated," and programs that are
considered "unrated"
because no code has been sent by the broadcaster.

Accessory Information
Antenna (or cable-TV) connections are made with either
coaxial antenna cable or twin-lead cable. Coaxial cables
are shielded so they are less susceptible to hum or
interference from adjacent cables.
The following accessories are available from most dealers and
electronics supply stores in case you want to position your
components farther apart or need additional cables.
Most audio/video connections between components can
be made with shielded audio and video cables that have
