HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

The HDMI jack provides optimum picture quality. This jack gives you an uncompressed digital interface that carries both video and audio data by way of an integrated mini-plug cable.

Note: Make sure you set the HDMI Setup option in the menu system to the resolution setting that most closely matches your TV.

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (Y, Pb, Pr) Jacks

The Y, Pb, Pr jacks provide excellent picture quality because the video signal is separated into three parts. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables (yellow) for the con- nection. You can also buy bundled component video cables that are color-coded to match the Y, Pb, Pr jacks (green, blue, red).

Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the component cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
