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.

User's Manual of such equipment for details.

NOTE: The TV set will be displaying any television station or program selected by the Cable Box, VCR, External Tuner or Satellite Receiver. The TV

set will not be able to change programs or channels; this is controlled by the equipment sending the signal. If the service being used includes a box with two different outputs for two different (distant) rooms, then scanning channels should help to find the signal. Be aware that the channel to be selected varies from provider to provider, meaning you may have to call your provider company so they can provide you with the specific channel to use with high-definition TV sets. Some examples of these channels are: 105, 106,115 and 116.
