Connecting Your DVD Player
Using HDMI (Best)
DVD players that have a HDMI digital interface should be connected using HDMI for optimal results. To
maintain image quality, use a VIZIO certified HDMI cable. This cable is available in 6, 15, and 30 foot
lengths. Visit www.VIZIO.com or call 877-MYVIZIO (877-698-4946) for details.
