Jacks on the Back of the TV
This section describes each of the jacks on the back of the TV. When connecting A/V cables, be
sure to connect corresponding outputs to inputs (video to video, right audio to right audio, etc.)
VPORT Go to page 11 for VPORT explanation.

enables the TV’s GUIDE Plus+ system to interact with the cable box and/or the VCR. A picture
of the G-LINK cable is on page 7.
CABLE/ANTENNA Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from the antenna,
cable or cable box.
INPUT1 Lets you connect a component such as a VCR, DVD player, satellite
receiver or laserdisc player.
• VIDEO provides composite video connection. The video connector is
usually yellow.
• R AUDIO provides right audio connection. The right audio connector is
usually red.
• L AUDIO provides left audio connection. The left audio connector is usually
white.
• S-VIDEO provides better picture quality than the regular video jacks
(INPUT1 and INPUT 2 VIDEO) because the color part of the signal is
separated from the black and white part of the picture. When using S-Video,
make sure to connect left and right audio cables to the R-AUDIO-L INPUT1
jacks.
INPUT2 Lets you connect a second component such as a VCR, internet access
device, DVD player, or laserdisc player. Its AUDIO and VIDEO jacks are the
same as described for INPUT1 above.
