■Should I use the AUDIO/VIDEO OUT terminal
or the RF OUT terminal?
If your cable TV box has both AUDIO/VIDEO OUT terminals and RF OUT terminals, we recommend connecting the AUDIO/ VIDEO OUT terminal with the unit’s IN1 terminal. Using this connection provides better picture quality.
•The S VIDEO terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO terminal.
