VCR, Super VHS (S-VHS) VCR, DVD player, standard
satellite receiver or other AiV device to the TV. Please
note that if S-VIDEO and VIDEO are available for the
input, you must choose to connect only one. They
cannot both be connected at the same time.

YPbPr (480i/480p/720pi1080i}
These inputs can be used for the connection of devices
with component video outputs, such as a DVD piayer,
external HDTV receiver, or compatible video game
system. Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility.
5. DVJ AnaJog Audio
Uniike HDMI, DVl does not carry audio information on
the same cable. Use these analog stereo audio inputs
when using the HDMI input with a device that outputs
DVl instead of HDMI, such as DVl output from a personaI
computer.
6. AUDIO OUTPUT, RECORD OUTPUT
AUDIO OUTPUT sends analog audio of the program
currently shown on the screen to an A/V surround sound
receiver or stereo system. Digital audio from digital
channels, FireWire® (DTV Link/EEE 1394) devices and
HDMI devices is converted to analog audio by the TV. If
you do not have a digital A/V receiver, this should be the
only audio connection between the TV and your analog
A/V receiver or stereo system.
RECORD OUTPUT sends analog audio and video to a
VCR for recording purposes. These signals may not be
the same as those of the program that is currently being
shown on screen. Signals from digital channels and
FireWire (IEEE 1394) devices are converted to analog

10. Digital Audio Output
This output sends Dolby® Digital or PCM digita[ audio to
your digital A/V surround sound receiver. Analog audio
from analog channels and devices is converted by the
TV to PCM digital audio. In most cases, this should be
the only audio connection between the TV and your A/V
receiver. If you have MP3 audio sources, however, you
need to connect the TV's analog AUDIO OUTPUT (left
and right) to your A/V receiver.
HDM[ 2
HDM[ 2 also allows the TV to display DVl or HDMI output
from a PC. To view PC video on the TV, you must activate
the PC option in NetCommand. You can do this during

or at any time afterwards by using the NetCommand Add
function.
If you want audio from a PC when using PC DVl output,
you must connect the PC audio output to the TV INPUT/
DV[ Analog Audio 2, located above the HDMI 2 input.
