Identifying your TV connectors

Your TV may have some or all of the video input connectors shown on the right. Each type of video connector provides a different level of video image quality.

Examine the rear panel of your TV and determine whether it has HDMI, component, S-Video, or composite video input connectors. For additional instructions, refer to the owner’s guide that came with your TV.

Choosing the TV connector you will use

1.Using the table on the right, choose the available TV video connector that provides the highest possible video quality.

2.Make sure you have the correct cable on hand. An HDMI cable is provided with the VS-2.

3.Go to the page listed for instructions on making the con- nections to your TV and other A/V devices.

4.As a reminder, place a check mark in the table to indicate your choice.
