For the best quality picture, we recommend using HDMI, DTV, RGB or Component inputs when possible.These are the only inputs capable of high definition (HD). Using these inputs does not guarantee high definition unless a high definition source is connected. However, not all equipment is capable of these connections.TV, AV and S-Video are not capable of HD signals.

+Both DTV and TV share the same port.The television will automatically register which input type is connected.
