If you can:

•Use the OPTICAL SPDIF or coaxial SPDIF outputs instead of the stereo AUDIO R and L outputs. In most cases, S/PDIF offers better audio quality, including support for Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound.

•Use the S-video connections instead of the standard RCA video connections. In most cases, S-video offers better video quality.

This video connection method does not support HD video. For more information, see “Connecting to an HDTV – Video Only.”
