8 Chapter 1 Connections and SetupObtain the SignalThe first step in connecting your TV is obtaining the signal. The back panel of your TV allows you to receiveanalog and/or digital channels by using the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT.Before you connect your TV, you have to determine whether you will be using an antenna or a cable serviceto obtain the signal.What You NeedAntenna (Rabbit Ears) or Outdoor Antenna with Coaxial CablePlug the antenna or coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT on the back of theTV. You are ready to receive off-air local digital and analog channels.Cable ServicePlug the coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT on the back of the TV. You areready to receive your cable channels.Set-Top BoxIf you have a set-top box, you may need to call your cable company or satellite service provider. They mayrecommend special cables to allow you to view digital channels.What You Need to Know•Visit www.antennaweb.org for help in deciding what type of antenna to use in order to receive the localdigital channels available to you. Enter your location, and the program will list local analog and digitalstations available using your antenna.•When you watch TV, the Channel Banner displays the type of channel currently viewed. A “D” at the bottomof the screen denotes digital channels and an “A” denotes analog channels. For more information onChannel Banners, see page 20.COAXIAL CABLE OUTDOOR OR INDOOR ANTENNAOR

Since HDMI technology is based onDigital Visual Interface (DVI), the jack on the back of your TV is also compatible with components that havea DVI output jack.Example: Set-top box with HDMI jack:1. Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI INPUT 2 jack or the HDMI/DVI INPUT 1 jack on the back of the TV orthe HDMI INPUT 3 jack on the side of the TV and to the HDMI output jack on the back of the set-top box.Example: Set-top box with DVI jack:To connect an HDMI cable and an HDMI/DVI adapter:1. Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI/DVI INPUT 1 jack on the back of the TV.2. Attach an HDMI/DVI adapter to the end of the HDMI cable; then connect the adapter to the DVI outputjack on the set-top box.3. Since you’re using an HDMI/DVI adapter, you need to connect separate audio cables to the DVI AUDIOINPUT right and left DVI AUDIO jacks on the back of the TV and to the right and left audio jacks on theback of the set-top box.CMPT2 CMPT1Connections and Setup Chapter 1 11AUDIO CABLES ARE COLORCODED - RED= RIGHT AUDIO,WHITE=LEFT AUDIORedWhiteCOMPONENT VIDEO CABLES(Y Pb Pr) ARE COLOR CODED-GREEN, BLUE AND REDBlueRedGreen

Ifyou chose Cable as your signal type, the search takes a while because the compiled list includes allavailable channels, (analog and digital) and initially includes scrambled channels. Scrambled channelsare removed from the list after all channels are identified.The Channel Search process includes the following steps:1. The search first seeks analog channels and places the number of channels found next to AnalogChannels Found.2. The search then looks for digital channels and places the number of channels found next toDigital Channels Found. This number may seem high. This is because the number includes bothscrambled (for example, Pay Per View) and non-scrambled channels, depending on what yourcable company is sending. You may not be able to view all of the detected channels; some ofthe digital cable channels may be scrambled.3. When Channel Search is in progress, you can press the CLEAR button to cancel the search.Any channels already found will be stored.4. When Channel Search is complete, the menu will clear automatically after a few seconds.You may find there are still some channels in your list that are unavailable to view. To delete thesechannels, press MENU and choose List and Labels. Removing channels from your channel list maybe time-consuming, so you may want to do it later.

Explanation of Jacks (in alphabetical order)This section describes the jacks on the back panel of your TV. There are several ways to connect components.ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from your antenna, cable, or cable box.AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT 1 (VID 1) Lets you connect a component that has composite video jacks, such as a VCR or DVD player.•L AUDIO Provides left audio connection when using the VIDEO INPUT 1 jack or the S-VIDEO INPUT jack. The left audio connectorsare usually white. For mono audio sources, be sure to use the left AUDIO INPUT.•R AUDIO Provides right audio connection when using the VIDEO INPUT 1 or the S-VIDEO INPUT jack. The right audio connectoris usually red.COMPONENT INPUTS Let you connect a component that has component video jacks, such as a DVD player.•CMPT 1/CMPT 2 Y Pb Pr (Component Video) Provides good picture quality because the video is separated into threesignals. Use three video-grade or component video cables for the connection. When using CMPT 1/CMPT 2 Y Pb Pr, makesure you connect left and right audio cables to the CMPT 1/CMPT 2 L and R AUDIO jacks.•CMPT 1/CMPT 2 L AUDIO Provides left audio connection when using the CMPT 1/CMPT 2 VIDEO inputs. The left audio connectoris usually white. For mono audio sources, be sure to use the left AUDIO input.•CMPT 1/CMPT 2 R AUDIO Provides right audio connection when using the CMPT 1/CMPT 2 VIDEO inputs. The right audioconnector is usually red.DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT (coaxial) Use a digital coaxial cable to connect your TV to a compatible audio receiver.FIXED AUDIO OUTPUT Use left and right audio cables to connect your TV to a compatible audio receiver.HDMI INPUT 2 Lets you connect a component, such as a digital cable box, with an HDMI output for the best picture quality.HDMI/DVI INPUT 1 (High-Definition Multimedia Interface/Digital Visual Interface) Provides an uncompressed digital connection thatcarries both video and audio data by way of an integrated mini-plug cable. Since HDMI technology is based on Digital Visual Inter-face (DVI), the jack on the back of your TV is also compatible with DVI components.•DVI AUDIO L (used for DVI only) Provides left audio connection when using the HDMI 1 jack for DVI. The left audio connector isusually white. For mono audio sources, be sure to use the left AUDIO input.•DVI AUDIO R (used for DVI only) Provides right audio connection when using the HDMI 1 jack for DVI. The right audio connectoris usually red.Note: If using a DVI component, remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the DVI cable carries only the picturesignal, not the sound.PC VIDEO INPUT Connect your computer or other component with a VGA output to this jack using a 15-pin, D-sub cable.PC AUDIO (Stereo mini jack) Use to obtain sound when a PC is connected to the PC input. Use a 3.5mm stereo mini-pin cable(sometimes referred to as 1/8” stereo mini-pin) to connect a PC to your TV.S-VIDEO INPUT Allows you to connect an S-Video cable from another component. Make sure you also connect audio cables fromthe component to the TV. To access a component connected to the S-Video jack, press the INPUT button on your remote; thenpress the up or down arrow to select S-VID.
