Some VCRs and LD players have S-Video outputs. These give an improved picture from these sources. If
your LD player or DVR has a digital audio output, CineVERSUM recommends you use that connection..

Note:
If you have a display with an HDMI/DVI input, CineVERSUM recommends you use the DVI/HDMI output of your
DVD player with the player’s output resolution set to the lowest output resolution (preferably 480i). If you have a
display with only component or RGBHV inputs, use either an SDI or component video connection. SDI outputs
typically need to be added to your DVD player. This gives the additional benefit of skipping an extra digital-to-analog
(D-to-A) and analog-to-digital (A-to-D) step for a picture with even more detail then a component connection. With a
component connection, set the player’s output to 480i, minimizing the amount of processing done in the player.

Note:
Some set top boxes require you to switch the output resolution. This means that if you are watching an HD channel
you must manually switch the output resolution to 720p/1080i/p, or if you are watching an SD channel, you must
manually switch the output resolution to 480i or 480p, 480i preferably. If your display only has component or RGBHV
inputs, use the component output from your HD source.
