For the best quality picture, |
| |
we recommend using HDMI, |
| |
DTV, RGB or Component | BEST | |
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 |

BETTER | ||
HD signals. | ||

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