HDMI offers higher video quality than component video. If your
HDTV has an HDMI input, use the HDMI connector.
HDMI provides both digital video and digital audio (including
Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound). No other connections are
®
necessary.
If your HDTV has a DVI input, you can use an HDMI-to-DVI
converter cable to connect to the VIP2502W HDMI connector.
Use a cable with an HDMI connector on one end and a DVI
connector on the other end. We do not recommend using an
HDMI-to-DVI or DVI-to-HDMI adapter. Because DVI does not
carry audio, a separate audio connection is required for a DVI
TV. If your TV has an optical S/PDIF audio connection, use the
OPTICAL connection. Otherwise, use the baseband AUDIO L
and R connections.
The Y Pb Pr connectors provide component video, the most
widely supported HDTV connection.
Component video provides a High-Definition analog video signal.
If your equipment supports an optical S/PDIF audio connection,
use the OPTICAL connection. Otherwise, use the baseband
AUDIO L and R connections.
