Component consists of three cables for transmitting video and two cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white. Component video provides a sharper image than Composite video and should be used instead of Composite when possible. However, because it is still an analog connection, it won’t provide the high-quality video and audio that HDMI can produce.

Using a unique connector, S-Videoprovides a sharper image than Composite video. However, S-Video is generally not ideal for high-definition video signals. Use HDMI or Component for high- definition signals.

Composite consists of one yellow cable for transmitting video and two cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white. It is capable of transmitting stereo sound and standard definition video (480i). While it provides a good image, it has lower image quality than HDMI or Component. So try to use one of those connections first.

Note: To maintain the display quality, use a VIZIO certified HDMI cable. This cable is available in 6, 8, and 12 foot lengths. Visit www.VIZIO.com or call 1-888-VIZIOCE (1-888-849-4623) for details.
