PICTURE SHAPE
The aspect ratio of the broadcast
image, the aspect ratio of the orig-
inal program material, and the
aspect ratio of the display screen
all affect picture shape.
Identifying Picture Shapes
Pillar Box—This shape results
when 4:3 aspect ratio material is dis-
played on a 16:9 aspect ratio screen.
COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
CONNECTING DIGITAL EQUIPMENT
Component is a great choice for Enhanced Definition Digital images. The
Component connections on this TV will accept ALL digital video for-
mats from external equipment, such as DVD Players, Digital Satellite
Receivers, and Digital Cable Boxes. However, the display is always
EDTV.
1
Connect your external equipment as shown here, matching connector
colors to jack colors. (Cables are not supplied.)
A/V AND S-VIDEO CONNECTIONS
CONNECTING ANALOG EQUIPMENT
A/V and S-Video connectors accept only SDTV content, regardless of
the signal being received. These composite connectors (standard analog
A/V and S-Video) are included on your new Digital TV to provide con-
tinued 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.

Connect your external equipment as shown here, matching connector
colors to jack colors. (Cables are not supplied.)
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT CONNECTION
CONNECTING THE DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT TO A MULTI-CHANNEL
RECEIVER
Dolby
®
Digital Audio provides 5.1 channels of surround sound (five full-range channels [5] and one
low-frequency effect channel [.1]). A fiber optics cable is used to carry the 5.1 surround sound (for
low-noise signal transfer).
1
Using a Fiber Optics cable, connect the TV's Digital Audio Output to the Digital Audio Input of
a Multi-Channel Receiver. (Fiber optics cable is not supplied.)
NOTES: When making the connection, be careful not to bend the fiber optics cable too sharply. Do Not pinch or
kink the fiber optics cable.
Red light visible at the Digital Audio Output does not necessarily indicate that Dolby
Digital audio is made up of light pulses that the human eye cannot detect. Dolby
Digital Audio Output only when received as part of a Digital signal. (Refer to the Owner's Manual for more
details about input signals that can include Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound.)
"Dolby" and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
Postage Stamp—This term is used
to describe an image that has black
borders at the top, sides, and bot-
tom of the screen (images fail to
fill screen both vertically and hor-
izontally). Use the PIX SHAPE
key to adjust image.
CONNECTING YOUR EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT
Use the PIX SHAPE key to adjust
the image to suit your personal
preference. (The Normal and Full
options are not available for all
signal inputs.)
Generally, Zoom1 fills the screen as
much as possible without picture
distortion, Zoom2 stretches the
images horizontally and vertically,
and Full stretches the width to fill
the screen horizontally. Normal
does not alter the image shape.
