Setup and Connections
Sample Connections
The following are sample connection scenarios you may
encounter when connecting components to your TV.
Note: those components which offer an S-Video
connection, such as DVD, VCR or satellite receivers, must
match their S-Video connection with their audio INPUT
connection.
Cables
You will use the following types of cables to make your
connection:
Coaxial Cables: Carries the signal
from the antenna or cable directly to
the television or through a cable box,
as needed by your cable system.
Audio/Video Cables: Carries audio
and video from a component to the
TV.
S-Video Cable: Carries video from
an S-Video capable component which
provides best picture quality. Note:
Only the MG31526 has an S-Video
connection.
TV and Stereo VCR
Compared to the Basic Connection, using Audio/Video
and S-Video (if available) cables will enhance the sound
and picture quality from a component.

Cautions:
Position Cables to Avoid Audio Hum
or Interference
• Insert all cables firmly into jacks.
• Place the audio/video cables to the
sides of the TV's back panel
instead of straight down the
middle.
• Try not to coil any twin-lead cables
and keep them away from the
audio/video cables.
Protect Your Components From
Overheating
• Do not block ventilation holes in
any of the components. Arrange
the components so that air can
circulate freely.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when
placing your components in a
stand.
• Place an amplifier on the top shelf
of the stand so heated air rising
from it will not flow around other
components.
How to View Your VCR
To watch the VCR in this connection,
press TV to put the remote control into
TV mode, then press INPUT to toggle to
the video (VID) inputs.
In the Interactive Setup section you can
program the TV to automatically tune to
the VID input channel when you turn on
the VCR.
Most Audio/Video cables
are combined into one
cable with three
heads on each end.
We show individual
cables in these sample
connections. Either may
be used, but you must be
sure to connect Video to Video, Right to
Right and Left to Left.
