GOOD AND BETTER RESOLUTION
THE SIGNAL MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
The standard analog AV and S-Video composite connectors are
included on your new DTV to provide continued compatibility with
older analog devices, such as a VCR.
The S-Video connector will provide the best resolution. If you have an
S-Video connector on your old analog equipment, you should use it
instead of the standard video connector.
1
Connect your external equipment as shown here, matching con-
nector colors to jack colors. (Cables are not supplied.)
2
Use the INPUT key on the remote control to select Video 2 to watch video from
equipment connected to the VIDEO2 Composite jacks.
NOTES:Composite and Component VIDEO2 inputs share the same audio inputs,
therefore, you can connect only one device at a time to the VIDEO2 inputs.
Connect other analog device to the Front AV jacks (VIDEO1). Refer to the
owner’s manual for instructions.

The aspect ratio (ratio of the width
to the height) of the broadcast
image and the aspect ratio of the
original program material all
affect picture shape.
Identifying Picture Shapes
Letterbox—This describes a wide
screen image displayed on a 4:3
aspect ratio screen.
Postage Stamp—This describes
an image that has a black border
surrounding the picture (images
fail to fill screen both vertically
and horizontally). This can occur
when the broadcaster upconverts
4:3 programming to wide screen
format (16:9).
Use the PIX SHAPE key to adjust
the image to suit your personal
preference. Available shapes may
vary by broadcast and input mode.
Available options are Pix1, Pix2,
and Pix3.
NOTE: The shapes available to you
depend on the aspect ratio of the
broadcast signal and the input
mode. They may differ in appear-
ance from those represented here.
