HDMI delivers the best image quality of any of the cable types available
and it’s all done over one cable. You get a great picture and cut down on
your cable clutter. HDMI provides digital quality and amazing sound so if
your TV has HDMI, this is the connection type you should be using.

Composite consists of one yellow cable for transmitting video and two
cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white. It is capable of
transmitting stereo sound and standard definition video (480i). While it
provides a good image, it has lower image quality than HDMI or
Composite. So try to use one of those connections first.
Note: To maintain the display quality, use a VIZIO certified HDMI cable. This cable is available in 6, 8,
and 12 foot lengths. Visit www.vizio.com or call 1-888-VIZIOCE (1-888-849-4623) for details.
