SETUP
Refer to the appropriate section in order to configure your terminal. The settings you choose on your HD terminal
will directly influence the picture quality you obtain. To configure them, follow the instructions in the Setup Wizard
section on page 53 of this manual.
If you use DVI cables to connect your HD terminal to your TV, no further configuration is normally required.
With this type of connector, the two devices automatically determine the optimal image resolution.
CONNECTORS
Three types of connector are available for HDTV: HDMI, DVI cable (on some models only) and Component
input. You must use one of these two connector types to obtain an image when viewing channels broadcast
in high definition. They
are recommended for SD content as well, in order to minimize the number of motion
artifacts.
CONVERTING IMAGE FORMATS
One of the golden rules for obtaining optimal image quality is to keep the number of signal conversions to a
minimum. While programs can be broadcast in different formats, depending on the channel, your television displays
them only in its native format. In other words, a program’s format may vary, but your television’s format always
stays the same – which means your television will inevitably have to convert the format of programs broadcast
outside its native format.
Nevertheless, the number of conversions can be kept to a minimum. The format adjustment option on HD terminals
lets you avoid unnecessary conversions. This is why you should know your television’s native format: you can then
set these terminals to the same format as your TV, so it always receives signals without performing an extra
conversion.
