Signal sources connected to the
HD INPUT-AV 4 or HD INPUT-AV 5 jacks
will provide the best picture (see page 7 for
descriptions of those inputs). Among the
standard (480i-compatible) inputs—
ANTENNA IN 75Ω, INPUT AV-1, CVI
[labeled Y, Pb, Pr], INPUT AV-2, and the
side jack panel [AV3])—the best picture
will come from signal sources connected to
the CVI jacks. S-Video will provide the
next-best level of picture quality.
