omponent video inputs allow the highest pos-
sible color and picture resolution in the play-
back of digital signals, such as those of DVD
players. The color difference signals (Pb, Pr) and
the luminance (Y) signal are connected and
received separately. The result is better color
bandwidth information than is possible with com-
posite video (labeled VIDEO on your TV’s jack
panel) or S-Video connections.
To make the connections shown in this example,
you will need:
• three cables for video connections (standard
RCA connectors)
• two cables for 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.
1
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 of a DVD player
with interlaced output. Some DVD play-
ers, however, 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 output) 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).
2
Connect the AUDIO OUT L(eft) and
R(ight) jacks from the DVD player to the
INPUT-AV 1 AUDIO jacks on the rear of
the TV.
3
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.
4
Turn the DVD player on and press
PLAY to view the DVD program on
the TV.

• To simplify making connections, the con-
nectors on audio and video cables are often
color coded. The jacks on your TV are like-
wise color coded to match the connectors.
• The names for 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. Although abbrevia-
tions 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 directions-for-use manual for
your DVD or digital accessory for more
information.
• 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
settings through the DVD disc’s menu.
• CVI is not accessible in the PIP window.
See page 8 in the Quick Use and Setup
Guide for more on the PIP feature.
