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.
