Video playback
There are several ways to see the picture and hear the sound of the VCR,
DVD player or camcorder on your TV:
You can use the Euro AV sockets on the TV set and on the VCR. This
is the best way to get a good picture and sound quality. Use the EXT 4
input on the left of the TV for camcoders and digital cameras.
When playing from a video recorder with AV Link (or a comparable
system from another manufacturer), the picture from the VCR is
shown at the current programme place.
When playing back from another video recorder, camcorder or digital
camera, select the AV socket to which the video is connected with AV
selection (button
) or with the station table (OK).
Video recorders transmit a switching voltage during playback which
the TV can evaluate (can be activated in the connection wizard or in
the “TV menu” – “Connections” – “Miscellaneous” - “Allow switching
voltage set” to “yes”). Then the picture of the video recorder is shown
at the current programme place.
Use the antenna connection between the VCR and the TV. The sound
Use the antenna connection between the VCR and the TV. The sound
is only transmitted in mono. Select the fi rst menu item, e.g. VIDEO, in
the AV selection.

When you have connected a recorder which has AV Link or a comparable
When you have connected a recorder which has AV Link or a comparable
system from a different manufacturer, the timer data of analogue terres-
trial stations are transmitted from the TV to the recorder. The recording
quality SQ or EQ is transmitted for DVD recorders addtionally to station,
date and time. The recording is then controlled by the recorder and the
recorder tuner is used for reception of the station. The recording data are
not saved in the timer list of the TV set. You will only fi nd the timer data
in the recorder.
If you want to record from digital stations, the TV tuner is used and the
recorder is controlled by the TV set. Then the programme is locked dur-
ing the timer recording. You can switch over to another station (analogue
terrestrial) if you have a digital tuner (from which you are recording) and
analogue terrestrial reception.
If you have connected a Sharp video recorder with AV Link and you are
using the timer programming of the TV, the TV receiver is always used
for terrestrial stations as well. The TV controls the recording.
You have to set the recorder to the AV input to which the TV set is con-
nected.
The programme is locked during the timer recording. Switching to other
stations is not possible.
AV Link must be switched on on the recorder. Read the operating
instructions of your recorder.
Use only Euro AV cables, which are completely shielded, otherwise AV
Link will not work.

Assignment of digital audio in- and outputs
Audio input “AUDIO DIGITAL IN”
The TV set has a coaxial digital audio input “AUDIO DIGITAL IN” and a
coaxial digital audio output “AUDIO DIGITAL OUT”. If you are using an
external digital surround amplifi er for sound reproduction, you have to
feed digital audio signals to the TV, e.g. from the DVD player.

Connect the output socket of the DVD player (DIG OUT) to the TV’s
“AUDIO DIGITAL IN” socket with a cinch cable.
In the connection wizard you specify that sound transmission is to be
digital. Specify that the digital sound is to be assigned for example to the
Euro AV socket 2 to pass on the digital sound to the digital audio output
of the TV set and via this to the external audio amplifi er. Further informa-
tion about this can be found on page 33.
Digital audio output
The digital audio signal is applied at the “AUDIO DIGITAL OUT” socket of
the TV. For example, you can connect an external digital audio amplifi er
here.
An analogue audio signal from the TV set or another sound source which
is received at one of the Euro-AV sockets of the TV set is converted into
a digital signal (PCM) and output at the “AUDIO DIGITAL OUT” socket.
Conversion from external analogue AV sources to PCM is not possible
if the loudspeaker of the TV set is used as a centre channel. In this case
connect your audio amplifi er additionally to the TV (AUDIO OUT L/R)
connect your audio amplifi er additionally to the TV (AUDIO OUT L/R)
with a cinch cable and switch the audio amplifi er to analogue audio input.
The digital TV sound or the digital sound of a connected auxiliary device
is only audible via an external digital audio amplifi er.
Sound selection
If you are receiving a digital TV programme with several sound formats,
you can call up the menu “Language/Sound selection” by pressing the
END button. Press the green button after this.
If you have connected an external Dolby Digital decoder and have entered
this in the connection wizard, you should now select “Dolby Digital”.

Audio amplifi ers or active speakers
In the connection wizard set “HiFi/AV amplifi er” under “AV setup: Audio
component”. The connection wizard allows confi guration of differ-
ent audio amplifi ers (stereo amplifi ers, surround amplifi ers, analogue
or digital) with different sound formats (Dolby Digital, dts, MPEG and
Stereo/PCM). Have a look at the audio amplifi er manual.
Select “Sound transmission” “digital” for digital audio amplifi ers. Con-
nect the digital audio output of the TV AUDIO DIGITAL OUT to the digital
audio input of the digital amplifi er.
Assign the digital audio input to the socket through which the corre-
sponding picture is transmitted (e.g. AV2 if a DVD player is connected
there). Then the digital sound is passed to the digital audio output of the
TV set and fed to the external audio amplifi er via this.
Specify which sound formats can be decoded with their digital amplifi er
(Dolby Digital, MPEG, dts).
Specify under “Amplifi er type” whether the digital amplifi er is a stereo or
surround amplifi er.
If it is a surround amplifi er, specify whether or not the TV speakers are to
be used as centre loudspeakers. Connect the centre output of the ampli-
fi er to the centre input of the TV with a cinch cable if necessary.
Note: do not use the centre speaker connection on the amplifi er but the

HDMI connection
The HDMI connection (High Defi niton Multimedia Interface) allows digital
picture and sound transmission via a connecting cable, e.g. from DVD
players. The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data
compression and therefore lose none of their quality. No analogue/digital
conversion is necessary in the connected equipment which also led to
losses in quality.
DVI signals can be also be reproduced by the HDMI connection using a
DVI/HDMI adapter cable. This is possible because HDMI is based on DVI
and is downward compatible. That means that the digital video signals
are transmitted via HDMI. In addition both use the same copy protection
method HDCP.
Connect the DVD player or other audiovisual equipment with an HDMI
cable (type A, 19-pin) to the EXT 5 socket of the TV set. Log in the EXT 5
connection in the connection wizard (“TV menu” – “Connections” – “New
devices/modifi cations”).
Select the HDMI connection in the AV selection.

No sound is transmitted when a DVI/HDMI adapter cable is used for
transmission. You can feed in the appropriate analogue sound via the
audio input sockets AUDIO IN L/R on the TV set. The sound is played
over the TV loudspeakers.
If you have connected a digital external audio amplifi er, you can select
the digital audio signal in the connection wizard (TV menu - Connections
- New devices/modifi cations) and assign it to the EXT 5 socket. You
do the other settings for the audio amplifi er as described for the digital
amplifi er on page 33. The digital audio signal of the DVI audio source is
fed in at the AUDIO DIGITAL IN socket on the TV. The digital audio signal
from the TV AUDIO DIGITAL OUT is fed to the amplifi er.
VGA/XGA connection
You can connect a PC or a Set Top Box (STB) and therefore use the TV
screen as an output device.
Connect the PC/STB with a VGA cable to the PC IN socket on the TV.
When connecting to a PC you set one of the following screen resolutions
on your PC fi rst. 800x600 60Hz (SVGA) or 1024x768 60Hz (XGA).
When a Set Top Box is connected you set the following screen resolu-
tions according to the possibilities of the Set Top Box:
698x576i (PAL), 698x480i (NTSC) .
720x480i, 720x 576i (SDTV - standard modes in STB).
