Connecting your TV
• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use "F" connectors.
• Standard A/V (audio/video) cables are usually color coded accord-
ing to use: yellow for video and red and white for audio. The red
audio cable is for the stereo right channel, and the white audio
cable is for the stereo left (or mono) 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.
• An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a
standard video cable. S-video cables can only be used with S-video
compatible components.
• Component video cables come in sets of three and provide the best
picture performance. Component video cables can only be used
with component video compatible components.
