How to Get the Best Graphics on a Sanyo HDTV DP26648

An HDMI connection gives the best graphics presentation.

To get the best graphics display from a video-game console or a computer on a Sanyo model DP26648 HDTV, use a digital connection to an HDMI port. The signal source must have an HDMI output to include sound in the single-cable connection. With a DVI output, you must use an adapter to match the HDMI cable with the video connector and make a separate connection for the audio. Use your TV's automatic or manual controls to change the picture to suit your room lighting and personal preferences.

Things You'll Need

• HDMI cable
• DVI-to-HDMI adapter (optional)
• RCA audio cable (optional)

Instructions

1. Connect the video game console or computer to the Sanyo DP26648 with an HDMI cable. If the source has an HDMI output, connect to either of the two Sanyo DP26648 HDMI inputs. If you use a DVI-to-HDMI adapter at the signal source, make sure you connect the HDMI end of the cable to the HDTV's HDMI port 1.

2. Turn on the signal source and the TV. Press the "Input" button on the TV's remote until the correct input is highlighted on the screen.

3. Press "Menu" on the remote, and use the arrows to scroll to "Picture/Sound." Press "Enter." Select "Auto" to use the default settings or "Manual" to adjust picture quality to suit the room lighting and your personal viewing preferences.

Tips & Warnings

• The Sanyo DP26648 HDTV has a digital noise reduction and a dynamic contrast feature in the "Manual" setup mode that may improve picture quality with some video sources.

• When using DVI signal source, connect the audio to the red and white RCA jacks labeled "VIDEO3 Audio In L/R."

• Other inputs available include composite or AV, S-Video, component video and VGA. But HDMI offers the best graphics possible.
