the available connectors on the device.
Connect the device to the TV with the
highest quality connection available. Good
quality connectors transfer picture and
sound better.
The connections shown in this user manual
are recommendations only. Other solutions

cable to connect the device to the Y Pb Pr
connector on the TV.
