COMPONENT VIDEO (CVI) INPUT CONNECTIONS

Component Video inputs provide for the

highest possible color and picture resolu-

tion in the playback of digital signal source
material, such as with DVD players. The
color difference signals (Pb, Pr) and the
luminance (Y) signal are connected and
received separately, which allows for
improved color bandwidth information (not
possible when using composite video or S-
Video connections).
1 Connect the Component (Y,Pb,

Pr) Video  OUT  jacks from the
DVD player (or similar device) to the
(Y, Pb, Pr) in(put) jack on the TV.
When using the Component Video
Inputs, it is best not to connect a
signal to the AV in Video Jack.

2 Connect the red and white

AUDIO CABLES to the Audio
(left and right) output jacks on the
rear of the accessory device to the
Audio (L and R) AV In Input Jacks
on the TV.

3 Turn the TV and the DVD (or

digital accessory device) ON.

4 Press the AV button or the CH

+ or CH – buttons to scroll the
available channels until CVI appears
in the upper left corner of the TV
screen.

Insert a DVD disc into the DVD

player and press the PLAY 

button on the DVD Player.

The description for the component video con-
nectors may differ depending on the DVD player
or accessory digital source equipment used (for
example,Y, Pb, Pr;Y, B-Y, R-Y;Y, Cr, Cb). Although
abbreviations and terms may vary, the letters b
and stand for the blue and red color compo-
nent signal connectors, and indicates the lumi-
nance signal. Refer to your DVD or digital
accessory owner’s manual for definitions and
connection details.
