2. You need to buy a DVI-HDMI converter if the best video interface on your TV is DVI,
(shown below), which isn’t a standard accessory.
3. Please choose the component interface to connect the Bollo NMP-SE if your TV has
neither HDMI nor DVI. The component is represented by three red-green-blue
terminals.
4. If your TV has only a composite video interface, you will only experience a
downgraded video signal. The composite video cable can not transmit high-definition
video. We would recommend that the Bollo NMP-SE only be used with a
high-definition TV so you can experience the best possible video quality.
