our home’s signal input might come
from a single (75 ohm) round cable, a
Converter Box or from an antenna. In
either case the connection to the TV is
very easy.
1
If your Cable TV signal or
Antenna signal is a round cable
(75 ohm) then you're ready to con-
nect to the TV.
If your antenna has flat twin-lead
wire (300 ohm), you first need to
attach the antenna wires to the
screws on a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.
If you have a Cable Converter
Box: Connect the Cable TV signal
to the Cable Signal IN(put) plug on
the Converter.
2
Connect the Cable TV cable or
Antenna cable (or 300 to 75 ohm
adapter) to the 75
Ω
plug on the TV.
If you have a Cable Converter Box:
Connect the OUT(put) plug from the
Converter to the 75
Ω
plug on the TV.
Be sure to set the TV for the type
signal you've connected (see the
“Install Menu Controls” section of
this manual.)
To set the TV to select only the chan-
nel numbers in your area see how to
“Program" or "Add" channels in the
TV’s memory, see the “Install Menu
Controls” section of this manual.

omponent Video inputs provide for
the highest possible color and pic-
ture resolution in the playback of digital
signal source material, such as with
DVD players. The color difference sig-
nals (Pb, Pr) and the luminance (Y) sig-
nal are connected and received separate-
ly, which allows for improved color
bandwidth information (not possible
when using composite video or S-Video
connections).
1
Connect the Component (Y, Pb,
Pr) Video OUT jacks from the DVD
player (or similar device) to the (Y,
Pb, Pr) in(put) jack on the TV. When
using the Component Video Inputs, it
is best not to connect a signal to the
AV in Video Jack.
2
Connect the red and white
AUDIO CABLES to the Audio
(left and right) output jacks on the
rear of the accessory device to the
Audio (L and R) AV1 in Input Jacks
on the TV.
3
Turn the TV and the DVD (or
digital accessory device) ON.
4
Press the AV button or the CH +
or CH – buttons to scroll the avail-
able channels until CVI appears in
the upper left corner of the TV
screen.
5
Insert a DVD disc into the DVD
player and press the PLAY
but-
ton on the DVD Player.
The description for the component video connec-
tors may differ depending on the DVD player or
accessory digital source equipment used (for
example, Y, Pb, Pr; Y, B-Y, R-Y; Y, Cr, Cb).
Although abbreviations and terms may vary, the
letters b and r stand for the blue and red color
component signal connectors, and Y indicates the
luminance signal. Refer to your DVD or digital
accessory owner’s manual for definitions and
connection details.

The CVI connection will be dominate over the AV1
in Video Input. When a Component Video Device is
connected as described, it is best not to have a video
signal connected to the AV1 in Video Input jack.
T
he Audio/Video (Monitor) Output jacks
are great for recording with a VCR or
used to connect an external audio system
for better sound reproduction.
AUDIO SYSTEM CONNECTION:
1
Connect one end of the R(ight) and
L(eft) AUDIO (Monitor Out) jacks
on the TV to the R and L audio input
jacks on your amplifier or sound sys-
tem. Set the audio system’s volume
to a normal listening level.
2
Turn the TV and audio system ON.
To adjust the volume on the audio
system, you will need to change the
volume at the external audio system,
not the television.
