Frequently asked questions
What equipment is necessary to 
play multi channel surround 
sound?

The TV has both S Video input

≥Connecting with the component video terminal provides a more vivid picture compared to 
connecting with the S Video terminal.

compatible with progressive scan, we cannot recommend progressive output as some 
flickering can occur.

compatible?
