Connecting to an external signal source

You can connect a DVD, VCD, VCR, or STB using a variety of methods, including composite cables, component cables, an S-Video cable, or an HDMI cable. The S-Video cable does not carry sound. If you use an S-Video cable, you need to use audio cables to connect the audio output.
