INPUT 5

DVI SOURCE INPUT (WITH HDCP DECRYPTION): (Digital 480P, 720P, 1080i): Input for set top box or PC with DVI digital output.

INPUT 4

COMPONENT INPUT: Component video is the best type of signal that can be used. The most common sources that use component outputs are DVD players, and it is highly recommended that component be used when possible. Component video goes one step beyond S-Video in picture quality; chroma (color) information is more resolved and the overall picture appears more well-defined.

INPUT 3

S-VIDEO INPUT: S-Video is the second-best type of signal that can be used, but is MUCH better than Composite video. Using such sources as Satellite receivers, high-quality VCRs and DVD players (with no component output) will produce a MUCH cleaner and sharper signal than composite.

S-VIDEO/COMPOSITE SELECTION PUSH BUTTON: This push button toggles between S-Video and Composite Video when using Input 3. Both S-Video and Composite Video cannot be active simultaneously.

COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT: Composite video is the most common type of signal used, but is also the lowest in picture quality. Many sources have outputs that are limited to composite video, such as some VCR’s and camcorders; others such as Laser Disc players actually produce slightly better results when using composite video.
