The Best Connection

For the best quality picture,

we recommend using HDMI,

DTV, RGB or Component

inputs when possible. These

are the only inputs capable

of high definition (HD).

Using these inputs does not

guarantee high definition

unless a high definition

source is connected.

However, not all equipment

is capable of these

connections. TV, AV and

S-Video are not capable of

HD signals.

Both DTV and TV share the

same port. The television will

automatically register which

input type is connected.
