Component Video inputs provide for thehighest possible color and picture resolu-

tion in the playback of digital signal sourcematerial, such as with DVD players. Thecolor difference signals (Pb, Pr) and theluminance (Y) signal are connected andreceived separately, which allows forimproved color bandwidth information (notpossible when using composite video or S-Video connections).

1 Connect the Component (Y, Pb,Pr) Video OUT jacks from theDVD player (or similar device) to the(Y, Pb, Pr) in(put) jack on the TV.When using the Component VideoInputs, it is best not to connect asignal to the AV in Video Jack.

2 Connect the red and whiteAUDIO CABLES to the Audio(left and right) output jacks on therear of the accessory device to theAudio (L and R) AV In Input Jackson the TV.

3 Turn the TV and the DVD (ordigital accessory device) ON.

4 Press the AV button or the CH+ or CH – buttons to scroll theavailable channels until CVI appearsin the upper left corner of the TVscreen.

5 Insert a DVD disc into the DVDplayer and press the PLAY button on the DVD Player.

The description for the component video con-nectors may differ depending on the DVD playeror accessory digital source equipment used (forexample,Y, Pb, Pr;Y, B-Y, R-Y;Y, Cr, Cb). Althoughabbreviations and terms may vary, the letters band r stand for the blue and red color compo-nent signal connectors, and Y indicates the lumi-nance signal.
