• do not jerk cables when disconnecting them from any ap-
pliance. Audio-video devices (TV receivers, video recorders,
DVD players, etc.) often have several outputs. To obtain top
performance from your RTX 55TV display, take care over
selection of the best output to use. Generally speaking the
best signal format for image quality is RGB, followed by Com-
ponent Video, S-Video and Composite Video, in this order.
The RTX 55TV is equipped nonetheless with an excellent
Video decoder and Deinterlacer, so that even signals of lower
quality will produce extremely viewable pictures.
The socket ports of the RTX 55TV and the possible connections
will now be described (Fig. 3):
• Aerial socket
- This socket receives a radio frequency INPUT.
- The following components can be connected:
a) TV aerial cable;
b) Video recorder.
• AV 1 - Scart 1 and AV 2 - Scart 2 sockets
- These carry both the audio/video INPUT signal to the televi-
sion and the OUTPUT signal from the display.
- The following components can be connected:
a) Video cassette recorder;
b) Camcorder;
c) Video game console;
d) Digital satellite decoder;
e) Internet Set Top Box;
f) DVD player.
The Scart 1 socket can also handle RGB format video si-
gnals.
• AV 3 socket - Cinch Video
- Allows INPUT of video signal to display.
- The following components can be connected:
f) DVD player;
b) Camcorder;
c) Video games console;
d) Digital stills camera.
A Composite Video (CVBS) signal can be connected to this
socket using a cable with an RCA type connector. The output
connector on the external appliance is normally coloured
yellow and will often be labelled VIDEO.Other signal and
socket formats may be preferable (because they give better
image quality), but this type of output socket is still the most
commonly used, and nearly all television receivers, video
recorders, DVD players and camcorders, etc. have one.
• AV 3 - Y/C socket
- Allows the INPUT of an S-Video signal to the display, using
a cable with a mini-DIN type connector. The corresponding
output at the external device is normally identifiable by the
labels S-VIDEO or Y/C. This type of connector is just as com-
mon as the Composite Video connector described above. On
the other hand, it is preferred to the Composite Video format
because it gives a clearer and more detailed image.
• AV DVD - Component video
- Allows the INPUT of Component signals Y, Cr, Cb or R, G, B,
Sync. The plugs of these signals are connected to the Y, Cr
and Cb sockets, being careful to maintain the correct match
with the outputs on the external appliance. Since these can
be labelled differently, refer to Table 1 to establish the corre-
spondence between the various signals. As indicated in the
table, the colours of the connectors can also be of help.
