8.2Select your connection quality

This section describes how you can enhance your audio visual experience by connecting your devices with the best possible connectors.

HDMI - Highest quality

HDMI produces the best audio visual quality possible. Both audio and video signals are combined in one HDMI cable, providing an uncompressed, digital interface between your TV and HDMI devices. You must use HDMI to experience full high definition video. Use only a certified HDMI cable.

ETip

If your device only has a DVI connector, use a DVI-HDMI adaptor to connect your device to a HDMI connector on the TV. As such a con- nection does not support sound, you must connect a separate audio cable from the device to the Audio L/R input connectors on the TV.

DNote

Magnavox HDMI supports High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection (HDCP). HDCP is a form of Digital Rights Management that protects high definition content in DVD or Blu-ray discs.

Component (YPbPr) - High quality

Component (Y Pb Pr) video provides better picture quality than S-Video or composite video connections. Though component video supports high definition signals, picture quality is lower than HDMI and is analog.

When connecting a component video cable, match the cable colors to the connectors on the back of the TV. Also, connect an Audio L/R cable to the red and white Audio L/R input connectors.

S-Video - Good quality

An analog connection, S-Video provides better picture quality than composite video. When connecting your device with S-Video, plug the S-Video cable to the S-Video connector on the side of the TV. You must connect a separate Audio L/R cable from the device to the red and white Audio L/R in/out connectors on the side of the TV.
