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.
