Vizio VW32L 40A User manual

For the best quality picture,
we recommend using HDMI,
DTV, RGB or Component
inputs when possible.These
are the only inputs capable
of high definition (HD).
Using these inputs does not
guarantee high definition
unless a high definition
source is connected.
However, not all equipment
is capable of these
connections.TV, AV and
S-Video are not capable of
HD signals.
Both DTV and TV share the
same port.The television will
automatically register which
input type is connected.

 Coaxial connection (RF connector) is recognized as the threaded connector, commonly
called cable, screw on or coaxial connector which carries the image (picture) and sound
(audio) through a single cable.
 Composite connection (RCA connectors) is recognized by the three (yellow, red and
white) standardized color coded RCA connectors. Yellow carries the image (picture); red
(right channel) and white (left channel) carry the sound (audio) of the signal.
 Component connection (RCA connectors) is recognized by the three (green, blue and
red) standardized color coded RCA connectors for image (picture) plus the two (red and
white) standardized color coded RCA connectors for the sound (audio) of the signal.
 HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connection (HDMI connector) is
recognized by the standardized elongated D-Shaped connector which carries both the
image (picture) and the sound (audio) of the signal through a single cable.
 S-Video (separate video) connection (4-pin Mini-DIN connector) is recognized by the
small connectors at the end of a cable with multiple pins in it. This connection carries only
the image (picture) of the signal; therefore, there is a need to supply a separate sound
(audio) signal by using the two (red and white) standardized color coded RCA connectors.
