connection.

matches the full capabilities of your HDTV.

Some HDTVs have only RGB connectors. If you have
one of these HDTVs, you need an RGB adapter, and
you will need to connect a separate audio connection.
Check with your service provider for information about
acquiring an RGB adapter, or you can purchase the
adapter at your local electronics supplier.
Some HDTVs have 1394 connectors. If you connect to
your HDTV using a 1394 connection, you also need to
connect separate video and audio connections to your
HDTV.
