Just ask your questions, and providing more details will help me assist you more effectively!
  • How can I connect my VIZIO HDTV to various signal sources and additional equipment?
    What are the four easy steps to set up my VIZIO HDTV?
    What connection types can I use to connect my signal source and additional equipment to my VIZIO HDTV?
    Which connection type is recommended for the best quality picture?
    What should I do after connecting all the components to my VIZIO HDTV?
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.
