When to Use

 

 

 

Better

S-Video

The S-Video connector splits the video signal

 

 

into two signals, black-and-white and color. If

 

 

you are using the S-Video connector, you also

 

 

need to connect the audio cables. To locate

 

 

the S-Video connectors, see "Right View" on

 

 

page 6 and "Bottom View" on page 7.

Best

Component (YPbPr)

The component connectors splits the video

 

 

 

 

signal into three signals, two color and one

 

 

 

 

black-and-white. If you are using the

 

 

 

 

component connectors, you also need to

 

 

 

 

connect the audio cables. To locate the

 

 

 

 

component connectors, see "Bottom View" on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

page 7.

 

 

 

 

DVI receives the image data in digital format

Excellent

DVI

 

 

 

 

so that the TV does not need to perform an

 

 

 

 

analog-to-digital conversion, as with the

 

 

 

 

input types described above. Because the TV

 

 

 

 

uses digital data to display the image, DVI

 

 

 

 

provides the highest quality input, although

 

 

 

 

actual results depend on the video source

 

 

 

 

(DVD player, DVR, etc.). To locate the

 

 

 

 

connector see "Bottom View" on page 7.

Excellent

HDMI

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia

 

 

 

 

Interface) assures that the best video signal is

 

 

 

 

always sent from source (HDTV signal, DVD

 

 

 

 

player) to the TV. This is achieved by allowing

 

 

 

 

uncompressed video and multi-channel audio

 

 

 

 

data to be sent to the display device through

 

 

 

 

a single cable. To locate the connector see

 

 

 

 

"Bottom View" on page 7.
