STANDARD TV

WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW:

• If HDMI or Component Video jacks are not available on your TV, the next best connection is S-Video because it will separate the brightness and color portions of the video signal forhigher-resolution picture.
• If your TV doesn't have Component Video or S-video inputs, the standard connection will be Composite Video. Composite Video will not offer the quality of the other connections, but sometimes this may be the only choice available on some components.
• By combining your regular TV with an A/V receiver, you can take advantage of Dolby Digital® and DTS® 5.1 or 7.1 surround available on today’s sources through the use of digital coax or fiber optic connections.

CABLES TYPICALLY NOT INCLUDED:

Component Video • S-Video • Audio Cables

MONSTER RECOMMENDS:

• Use Monster component video cables for the best quality video signal. If HDMI or component video inputs are not available, Monster S-Video cables provide the next best level of picture quality.
• Use Monster Interlink® for the audio connections. Use Monster LightSpeed® fiber optic or Monster DataLink™ digital coax cables for superior Dolby Digital® and DTS® surround sound with an A/V receiver.
• Monster PowerCenters™ can provide surge protection with maximum sound and picture for all of the components connected to your TV.
