Connecting External Devices to Your LCD
You can connect many types of audio visual and entertainment devices to the LCD.
Most audio/video devices offer a choice of several connection types. The most common types of
connections are Composite (AV), S-Video, and Component (YPbPr). S-Video provides higher quality
picture transmission than the Composite interface, and Component (YPbPr) provides the highest quality
picture transmission. At present, HDMI* (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is one of the most
common interfaces available for carrying and passing digital signals. Your LCD includes an HDMI feature
that allows your LCD to display high-definition images through an all-digital connection, ensuring the
purest image quality available.
You may choose any of the connection types offered on a device, based on the convenience or quality
of the connection type. The table below shows device signals supported by the different connectors in
your LCD. Incorrect connections may cause devices or the LCD to malfunction, so be sure to refer to the
table before making any connections between your devices and the LCD.
480i (720 x 480i)
480p (720 x 480p)
720p (1280 x 720p)
1080i (1920 x 1080i)
Prior to making any connections to your LCD, ensure that the power cord is disconnected from the LCD
unit. Please note that the cables mentioned in this section are not included with your LCD package.
A. Connecting a Device with S-Video Port
Connect the S-Video cable to the S-Video 1 or S-Video 2 connector on the LCD. S-Video cable
does not include audio, and the audio cable (L/R) should be connected separately between the audio
connectors on the device and the LCD.
To watch programs:
1. Turn on the LCD; then, press the TV/AV button on the remote control or the SOURCE button
on the LCD unit to view and set the input source.
2. Select S-Video 1 or S-Video 2, depending on the connection you have made between the
device and the LCD.
B. Connecting a Device with Composite Video Port
Connect the Standard Composite (AV) cable video jack to the Video 1 or Video 2 connectors on the
LCD. Connect the audio jacks to the Audio (R/L) connectors. The Standard Composite (AV) cable is
color-coded as follows: Video = yellow, Audio Left = white, and Audio Right = red.
To watch programs:
1. Turn on the LCD; then, press the TV/AV button on the remote control or the SOURCE button
on the LCD unit to view and set the input source.
2. Select Video 1 or Video 2, depending on the connection you have made between the device
and the LCD.
*HDMI, High Definition Multimedia Interface, supports the uncompressed standard for delivering all
digital video and audio information. With only one HDMI cable, users can enjoy the delivering of both
the digital video and audio.
