Component video (better)

Many cable or satellite TV boxes have more than one connection type. To get the best video, you should use the best connection type available. For more information, see What connection should I use?.

Note
Cables are often color-coded to match color-coded jacks.
  1. Make sure that your TV’s power adapter is unplugged and all connected equipment is turned off.
  2. Connect the incoming cable from the cable wall jack to the cable-in jack on the cable or satellite box.
  3. Connect a component video cable (not provided) to the VIDEO / Y, Pb, and Pr jacks on the back of your TV and the component video out jacks on the cable or satellite box.
  4. Connect an audio cable (not provided) to the L and R AUDIO jacks on the back of your TV and to the audio out jacks on the cable or satellite TV box.
    Important
    • The VIDEO / Y, Pb, and Pr video jacks (used to connect a component device) share the L and R AUDIO jacks with the VIDEO / Y jack (used to connect an AV device). You can only connect one component video or AV device at a time. We suggest upgrading to HDMI if your cable or satellite box supports it.
    • When you connect the audio using the L and R AUDIO jacks, the audio output is analog.
  5. Plug your TV’s power adapter into a power outlet, turn on your TV, then turn on the cable or satellite box.
  6. Press INPUT to open the INPUT SOURCE list.
  7. Press ▲ or ▼ to highlight Component/AV, then press ENTER.
