Which Video Connection Should I Use?

You have three options for connecting your TV to your Blu-ray Player: HDMI, Component, or Composite. Based on your home theater configuration, you can decide which option is the right one for you.

High-definition video is only available through HDMI and Component connections. To view high-definition content, your TV must support high-definition video. Consult your TV user manual regarding high- definition video support.

Connection	Connector	Description
Quality (type)
Best		HDMI delivers the best image quality of any of the cable types available
		and it’s all done over one cable. You get a great picture and cut down on
(digital)		your cable clutter. HDMI provides digital quality and amazing sound so if
		your TV has HDMI, this is the connection type you should be using.
		Component consists of three cables for transmitting video and two
Better		cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white. Component video
		provides a sharper image than Composite video and should be used
(analog)		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.
		Composite consists of one yellow cable for transmitting video and two
Compatible		cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white. It is capable of
		transmitting stereo sound and standard definition video (480i). While it
(analog)
		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.
