Considering the Signal Types
The signal types make a difference in the picture quality. To get the
best picture quality, consider the signal types and the connection
best suited for that signal type. The chart below shows the different
signal types.

Analog Content
Even with High Definition or Digital Content Subscriptions, not
all content may be available in those formats. Each individual
program will list if it is available in HD format. Contact your local
service provider for details on your service and available
programming.
In order to receive High Definition, you should use HDMI or
component YPBPR video connection to your video equipment or
coaxial to your over-the-air broadcast antenna. Connection using
the yellow composite or S VIDEO will not provide HD quality
signal to your TV.

Shown above is a high-definition signal with wide mode (16:9 aspect ratio). A highdefinition signal fills the screen with a crisp, clear picture with no ghosting and less noise.
Shown below is a standard-definition signal with 4:3 aspect ratio. The picture is fine with
the Normal mode, but not as good as the high-definition signal. When a standard-definition
signal is viewed in the Zoom or Wide Zoom mode, you can enjoy an enlarged picture on
your TV screen, but picture quality may vary.
This TV performs best with high-definition signals. Be sure to read the “Considering the
Signal Types” section on this page.
