| HDMI delivers the best image quality of any of the cable types |
|
|
| Best |
|
|
|
| available and it’s all done over one cable. You get a great |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| picture and cut down on your cable clutter. HDMI provides |
| |
|
| (digital) |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| digital quality and amazing sound so if your TV has HDMI, this |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| is the connection type you should be using. |

| Component consists of three cables for transmitting video and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| two cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white. |
|
|
| Better |
|
|
|
| Component video provides a sharper image than Composite |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| video and should be used instead of composite when possible. |
| |
|
| (analog) |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| However, because it is still an analog connection, it won’t |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| provide the |

| Composite consists of one yellow cable for transmitting video |
|
|
| Compatible |
|
|
|
| and two cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white. It |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| is capable of transmitting stereo sound and standard definition |
| |
|
| (analog) |
|
|
|
| video (480i). While it provides a good image, it has lower image |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| quality than HDMI or Component. So try to use one of those |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| connections first. |
