Which Video Connection Should I Use?

You have three options for connecting your TV to your Blu-ray DVD 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.

(type)
		HDMI delivers the best image quality of any of the cable types
Best		available and it’s all done over one cable. You get a great
		picture and cut down on your cable clutter. HDMI provides
(digital)
		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 cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white.
Better		Component video provides a sharper image than Composite
		video and should be used instead of composite when possible.
(analog)
		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
Compatible		and two cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white. It
		is capable of transmitting stereo sound and standard definition
(analog)		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.
