End-of-Life Disposal
This Projection Television is capable of connecting
to both the current analog television signals of today
as well as interfacing with new, upcoming digital
source playback products and devices. This TV
includes multiple signal connectors (Component
Video, S-Video, and Composite Video), which give
you a variety of equipment playback options for digital set-top boxes, satellite receivers, cable boxes,
and other digital devices.
While there may exist some digital devices with
connections not available on this television, you
should be adequately prepared for the vast majority
of products coming onto the digital consumer electronics’ market. NOTE: You should always use the
connection output on digital devices that gives the
highest level of picture quality possible. As listed
above, the Component Video (or Y P
B PR) input
delivers the best color and picture reproduction, followed by S-Video, and then Composite Video. In
addition to these inputs, your television also
includes the standard 75-ohm cable signal connector
for use with antennas or analog cable boxes.
