Planning Your Connections Below is a table of some common configurations that may help you to determine how best to connect your particular devices. LCD-TV Good Better HD Cable or Satellite Receiver Best Your devices VGA in PC YPbPr1 in YPbPr2 in S-Video in Video in Tuner in DVD Cable or Satellite Game console VCR Progressive DVD Game console HD Cable or Satellite Receiver DVD Recorder Game console VCR Antenna Antenna Audio Out Subwoofer Out Subwoofer Surround Sound 6 27" Wide-Format LCD-TV User Manual To share an input or reduce the number of wires to the display, use a VCR or A Receiver to V consolidate connections. It is common to route the output of your camcorder, cable box (STB), satellite receiver (IRD) and personal video recorder (PVR) through your VCR for recording, editing and time shifting. Not all devices are the same and many may need additional cables, adapters and setup. In particular, computers, game consoles, high-definition receivers and progressive DVD players must be set to 16:9 output accordingly. Antenna Connection This LCD-TV has a built-in cable-ready NTSC tuner for analog cable and NTSC broadcast signals. You may choose to connect the analog cable or TV antenna wire (not included) directly to this LCD-TV antenna input. Tuner Video Connections There are four types of video inputs: YPbPr1, YPbPr2, S-Video and Video. Each of these video inputs has a corresponding set of stereo left and right audio inputs. These connectors are color-coded to match the colors of the corresponding connectors on other devices and cables. The YPbPr1 and YPbPr2 inputs will only accept 480i, 480p, 1080i and 720p signals. Use this to connect high definition devices such as a terrestrial HDTV receiver, HD satellite box, HD cable box or progressive scan DVD player. Use this to obtain better color performance from devices such as a DVD player. The built-in progressive scan logic will automatically convert interlaced DVD to non-interlaced. The S-Video and Video inputs are provided for use with devices such as a VCR, satellite receiver, digital cable box, or game console. The built-in progressive scan logic will also automatically convert these interlaced NTSC signals to non-interlaced. 7 27" Wide-Format LCD-TV User Manual HDTV receiver DVD player OUT AUDIO VIDEO VIDEO OUT AUDIO L R Pr Pb Y Y Pb Pr R L (Green) (Green) Y (Blue) Y (Blue) Pb (Red) Pb (Red) Pr 1 Pr 2 (Red) (Red) R (White) R (White) L S-Video R L L (Yellow) Video (Red) R (White) L R S-VIDEO L R L VIDEO AUDIO AUDIO OUT VCR OUT Game console PC & Audio Output Connections There are two PC inputs: VGA and PC audio. There is also an audio output and a subwoofer output. The VGA input is an analog RGB interface with separate H & V sync signals. VGA is more commonly found on computers. Attach the LCD-TV to your computer using the included (blue color-coded) VGA cable. The PC audio cable is not included and must be purchased separately. For the VGA inputs, please remember to adjust your computer resolution to match the 1280x720 resolution of the 27" LCD-TV for best performance. An additional software driver may be required from your PC graphics chip vendor to obtain wide format resolution support. 8 27" Wide-Format LCD-TV User Manual The audio output is commonly used to connect to an external audio amplifier or surround sound processor. The subwoofer output is used to attach an external powered subwoofer. Remember to enable this feature from the Audio Menu of the LCD-TV. When the subwoofer software command is set to On, an internal crossover cuts off the low frequency signal to the built-in speakers. When the subwoofer software command is set to Off, the built-in speakers will output full range audio.

This LCD-TV can scale the incoming video while maintaining the original aspect ratio or stretch the video to use the entire screen. Use the SCALING button on the remote control to switch the aspect ratio as indicated here: Use FILL ALL to stretch programs to occupy more of the screen. Use FILL ALL to view wide format (anamorphic) DVD movies. In particular, look for DVD movies that are labeled: "Anamorphic Widescreen" or "Enhanced for 16:9 TV" to obtain better performance. Use 4:3 MODE to maintain the correct original aspect ratio for most videotape, broadcast television, cable, satellite, HDTV and PC content. The unused portions on the left and right or top and bottom edges of the screen will appear black. 11 27" Wide-Format LCD-TV User Manual Note: Plasma users are often advised to use FILL ALL to stretch all content to the edges of the screen in order to reduce burn-in. This LCD-TV has no such problem with burn-in. Use PANORAMIC to expand NORMAL 4:3 aspect ratio content horizontally using a creative non-linear formula. Objects in the middle maintain the original aspect ratio and only the two sides are expanded. Experiment with these SCALING settings to determine your personal preferences. Use WIDE to expand letterbox content to occupy more of the screen. Occasionally, you may find a TV program or older DVD movie that is actually presented as letterbox format within an NTSC signal. Use this mode to zoom the image up to full screen. The unused portions on the top and bottom of the screen will appear black. Note: In WIDE mode, non-letterbox content will enlarge beyond the boundaries of the screen. Some portions of the video will not be visible above and below the screen. This may include OSD information from you DVD player, cable decoder or satellite receiver. To see the entire screen, switch to a different SCALING mode. 4:3 MODE FILL ALL WIDE 4:3 MODE PANORAMIC 12 27" Wide-Format LCD-TV User Manual Reference Guide Use this section of the user manual to learn about individual features and functions of this LCD-TV.
