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. + Contents: ©2008 VIZIO Inc.
