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. You must also use HDMI cables to use Philips EasyLink as described in Use Philips EasyLink on page 26.

Use only a certified HDMI cable.

EETip

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.

DDNote

Philips 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.
