Planning for Other Equipment

Choosing Your Video Connections

Many video devices have more than one type of output port. When you connect a device to the TV, choose

the connection that provides the best picture quality. The following table shows different types of connectors

with the highest picture quality listed at the top of the table.

TIP: If you can set the video output from a source device to have 16:9 aspect (wide-screen picture), you

should select that setting. Refer to the instructions for the video device. This provides maximum

compatibility between the device and the TV.
