Jacks and Cables

Below is a description of the jacks and cables you can use to make connections.
Note that not all cables come with your television unit.
S-Video Jack and Cable
The S-Video jack provides the best picture quality for your system.
This jack is available on this TV and is used in conjunction with audio cables.
Remember also to connect the left and right audio cables because the S-Video
jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)
The audio/video jacks provide very good picture and stereo sound quality.
Theses jacks are used for most audio/video connections between components. The
audio/video jacks are often color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and
white for left audio). If your component has only one input for audio (mono),

connect it to the left (white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV.
RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)
The RF jacks are necessary for reception of off-air broadcasts, cable, and DIRECTV
signals.
These jacks are required for antenna or cable connections. The RF and coaxial
jacks on the TV are labeled SATELLITE IN, ANTENNA A IN, and ANTENNA B IN. An

RG-6 coaxial cable is required for all satellite signal distribution.
Optical Jack and Cables
The optical cable is used for connecting a Dolby Digital receiver. If you own a
Dolby Digital receiver that uses an optical cable-type input, you can use an optical
cable to connect the TV to that receiver for the best sound quality.

Telephone Jack and Cord
The telephone line cord is required to connect your TV to a phone line. If you
choose to subscribe to DIRECTV ® programming, some services require this phone
line connection. The phone line connection is used to periodically call out to
DIRECTV. You will need an RJ11 type modular jack, which is the most common
type of phone jack and might look like the one pictured here. If you don't have a
modular jack, call your local telephone company to find out how to get one
installed.
