Connecting your TV
If you have not connected electronic equipment before, or you have
been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section.
Note: Cables are not supplied.
• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use "F" connectors.
• Audio and video cables are usually color coded according to use:
yellow for video; red and white for audio. The red audio cable is for
the stereo right channel; the white audio cable is for the stereo (or
mono) left channel. If you look at the rear panel of the TV, you will
see that the terminals are color coded in the same manner as the
cables.
• S-video cables provide better picture performance than standard
video cables. S-video cables can be used only with S-video compat-
ible components.
• ColorStream TM (component video) cables come in sets of three.
A ColorStream (component video) connection will provide the best
picture performance.
