the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-
1984, provides irrl_rmation with respect to proper grounding of
the mast arrd supporting structure, grounding of tile lead-in wire to
an arrtenna discharge unit, size of grounding conuectors, location
of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, arrd
requiremeuts for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.
21. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects
do not fall arrd liquids are not spilled irrto the enclosure through

result in bodily irrjury, property damage, or damage to the unit:
• Install all batteries correctly, with + arrd - aligned as marked on
the unit.
• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon arrd alkaline, etc.).
• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.
Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC]
that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the /

video input jacks are provided for high-fidelity color and picture
resolution when using digital video source material, such as a
DVD.
Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) control keeps the TV's sound at all

scanning teclmiques_rogressive and interlaced. Progressive scan
doubles the number of visible picture lines per field by displaying
all picture frame lines at once, eliminating lille flicker. The inter-
laced mode provides for a double vertical display (interlaced) of
progressive scan, which reduces annoying motion artifacts. The
Interlaced mode also helps smooth out jagged lines sometimes
seen on curved and angled surfaces.
High-definition component video inputs allow you to connect

ComponentVideo Input Jacks
Cables used: component video or AJV
with RCA-type phono plugs
Allow you to connect accessory devices such
as DVD players. Separating the video into
three signals, these inputs provide excellent
quality. Be sure to connect the left and right
audio cables, because the Y. Pb, Pr jacks
receive only the picture signal.
S-Video Jacks
Cable used: S-Video
Provide a higher quality picture than the Video
(composite) jacks because the color part of the
picture is separated from the black and white
portion. Be sure to connect the left and right
audio cables, because the S-Video jacks receive
only the picture signal.
Video (called composite) Jacks
Cable used:A/V with RCA-type phono
plug
Provide better picture performance than the
antenna RF input. Be sure to connect the audio
cables, because the video jacks receive only the
picture signal.
Audio Jacks
Cables used:A/V with RCA-type
phono plug
Provide sound for the video inputs. If your
accessory device has only one output for audio,
connect it to the left (color coded white) audio
jack on the TV.
Antenna RF Jack
Cables used: RF coaxial cable (75£_)
Allows you to connect an antenna, cable TV. or
components having only RF outputs to the
antenna input on the TV. RF coaxial cables are
available in push-on or screw-on type.
Signal Splitter
Allows you to route an antenna or cable TV
signal to two inputs.
300- to 75-ohm Twin-lead Adapter
Accepts twin-lead wires from an antenna and
allows connection to the antenna input on the
TV. If your antenna is already equipped with
an RF coaxial cable you will not need this
adapter.

•Signals connected to the HD INPUT-AV 4
inputs will provide you with the best picture.
Examples of soumes for such signals are a
progressive-scan DVD player (480p) or an
HD receiver (1080i or 480p) with YPbPr or
RGB outputs. The 1080i signals will pro-
vide you with the best picture possible.
Devices with RGB outputs may or may not
have H and V sync outputs to connect to the
HD INPUT-AV 4 H and V SYNC inputs.
• Among the 480i-compatible inputs
(ANTENNA IN 75£L INPUT AV-1, INPUT
AV-2, and the side jack panel), you will get
the best picture from the component video
inputs (labeled YPbPr). The S-Video inputs
will provide the next-best level of picture
quality.
The side jack-ptmel inputs (recognized by the
TV as AV3) are convenient for connecting a
camcorder. See page 16.

Connect the YPbPr (component)
VIDEO OUT jacks from the DVD player
to the INPUT-AV 1YPbPr (component
video) jacks on the rear of the TV.
NOTE: The INPUT-AV 1 YPbPr jacks
will accept 480i (interlaced) output sig-
nals only. The connection example on this
page assumes the use of a DVD player
with interlaced output. Some DVD play-
ers, however, have YPbPr outputs that can
be switched between interlaced and pro-
gressive scan. ff you are attempting to use
a DVD player with progressive-scan
(480p output) capability to make the con-
nection shown in this example, you must
be sure to switch the DVD player to inter-
laced, ff necessary, refer to the DVD play-
er's directions-for-use manual for help. If
you want to use the DVD player in pro-
gressive-scan mode, you must use the
HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks (see page 13).
Connect the AUDIO OUT L(eft) and
R(ight) jacks from the DVD player to the
INPUT-AV 1 AUDIO jacks on the rear of
the TV.
Press the AV button on the remote con-
trol as many times as necessary to select
the CVI (component video input) source
on the TV.
Turn the DVD player on and press

• To simplify making connections, the con-
nectors on audio ml(l video cables are
often color coded. The jacks on your TV
are likewise color coded to match the
connectors.
• The names for the component video jacks
may differ depending on the DVD player
or accessory digital source equipment
used. For example, besides YPbPr, you
may see R-Y/B-Y/Y; or CrCbY. Although
abbreviations trod terms may vary, the let-
ters Band Rstand for the blue and red
color component signal connectors, respec-
tively, and Yindicates the luminance sig-
nal. If necessary, refer to the directions-for-
use manual for your DVD or digital acces-
sory for more infom3ation.
• You can also connect a satellite receiver
to the TV in a mtmner similar to the
example shown on this page. If you con-
nect a satellite receiver to the TM you
will need to use the receiver's channel-
memorization system to store channels in
the receiver's memory.
• If you experience difficulties receiving
sound with a DVD disc, check the sound
settings through the DVD disc's menu.
