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.
