This is section 2, the User's Manual which describes how to customise the display settings so
that you can gain the best viewing experience possible to suit your preferences and viewing
environment. This section details the features and functions of the TV and the remote control,
describes how to connect to other devices, along with product specifications and
troubleshooting information for your further assistance.
Getting to know the TV
This LCD TV is a state-of-the-art flat widescreen digital display device. It has a built-in analog
TV tuner which can be used to view standard definition analog television (TV), cable television
(CATV), or radio frequency (RF) modulated video through its coaxial TUNER input socket.
However, the high quality of a widescreen LCD TV isn't realized through analog TV. The
highest possible quality display is only possible from high definition digital video sources like
High Definition TV (HDTV) or High Definition DVD (HDVD).
Input options
This TV supports the simultaneous connection of several different types of TV, Video and
Graphic sources, and permits you to select whichever one of the available sources you wish to
view at any time. You press INPUT on the remote control or TV to select an input source.
Depending upon which model you have, there are multiple sockets on the rear of the TV for
TV, Video, and Graphic inputs:
• Analog TV source input includes: 1 x Coaxial analog TV Antenna.
• Video source inputs include: 2 x S-Video and 3 x Composite Video (AV).
• Graphic source inputs include: 3 x Component Video (Y/Pb/Pr), 1 x HDMI/DVI, 1 x VGA.
The VA261 model does not support DVI or HDMI.
You should connect whichever TV, Video or Graphic sources you wish to view on the TV.
You need not connect more than one if that one is all you wish to view.
Connecting Video source inputs
You can connect an external VHF or UHF TV antenna (if available) to the TV tuner input
using the TV coaxial fly-lead cable, and select the TV input to view analog TV broadcasts.
See step "3. Connect the TV antenna cable" on page
The composite Video, S-Video, and Component video cables carry only analog video signals,
and each requires the separate use of audio cables from the source to the TV. See
the composite Video input" on page 12
If the video source device supports it, you could alternatively connect it using the Component
Video input for the best possible analog Video picture.
See "Connecting the Component video input" on page
Connecting Graphic source inputs
You can connect a PC video card graphic source (if available) like a VGA output or a digital
DVI output. If your device supports HDMI output, you can also use the HDMI input on the
TV for connection. The VGA and DVI video cables carry only video signals, so each requires
the separate use of audio cables from the source to the TV. See
page 14 and "Connecting the DVI input" on page
The HDMI cable carries both digital video and audio signals, and doesn't require a separate
audio connection. See
The VA261 model does not support DVI or HDMI.
