Choose Your Connection

There are several ways to connect your HDTV, depending on the components you want to connect and the quality of the signal you want to achieve. The HDMI and component jacks are considered excellent; S-Video is very good; composite jacks are good, while connecting components to the Antenna or Cable input is fair.

Please use the following chart to determine which connection is best for you. Proceed to the appropriate page and connect your TV.
