DVD players that have a digital interface compliant with the DVI (Digital Visual Interface) standard, such as the BRAVO D2 DVI Enabled DVD Player from V, Inc., should be connected to the DVI input of the VIZIO P42 Plasma TV.

Installation:

1.Turn off the power to the Plasma TV and DVD player.

2.Connect a DVI-D cable to the DVI output of your DVD player and the other end to the DVI input in the rear of your Plasma TV.
