You
Don't Need A Geek
To
Connect Your Plasma TV!
•
Remember
when you were a kid and the family TV set was a 19 inch Motorola
with “rabbit ears” sitting on top? Today some people
will pay thousands of dollars for a razor-sharp, 50 inch High Def
Plasma display showing millions of colors, then want to connect the
equivalent of rabbit ears to it!
• You
wouldn’t put lamp oil in the gas tank of your SUV. You
wouldn’t plug your Ipod into a turntable. And you
wouldn’t try to shovel coal into your heat pump. Please, feed
your new Plasma the high quality digital signal it needs to display
a crystal sharp image.
• If you
are willing to pay the price for a High Def Plasma, go all the way
and upgrade to digital cable so you’ll have a HDTV signal to
go with it. Buy a home theater system
with a
High Def DVD player, and get a good set of cables to connect
everything.

•
Cool Your Jets . . . I know you're
excited, but you should never plug your plasma television into a
power socket until all of the input cords have been
connected.
•
A top of the line Plasma TV can
have sixteen or more sets of connection inputs of various types:
HDMI, Component, composite, S-video, VGA and coaxial, sometimes all
of the above. Try to connect all of your devices using
HDMI or Component
Video.
Buy high
quality Audio / Video Wires for
the connection. Use the other types of connections only until you
upgrade your equipment to High Def.

• Best
-
HDTV If
your Plasma has a HDMI port, do whatever you can to get a
state-of-the-art HDTV signal into your display. You won’t be
sorry! This means doing two things: buy a HDMI cable of the proper
length and have a HDTV-ready cable box or DVD player to produce the
high def digital signal. Instead of the five cables needed for
component video, you'll get the best picture you’ve ever seen
with one HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable.

Great
-
Component Video Almost
all Plasma TVs have component video connections. On the back panel
you’ll see a set of five color-coded RCA ports: three for the
video picture signal (red, blue and green) and two for stereo sound
(red and white). Spring for a good, thick set of color coded
cables (Monster and
Belkin are
the best known brands, $70) instead of $20 Radio Shack cables. Make
sure your cables are long enough to reach your component-ready DVD
player and cable box.
Component cables can carry a HDTV signal if the inputs on your TV
are labeled “high bandwidth” or “HDTV component
video”.

• Good
-
Composite Video has
the three cable connection you’re probably familiar with. The
inputs and cables are color coded: one video picture cable (yellow)
and two stereo sound cables (red and white). This is now an
outdated setup. You're wasting the potential built into your Plasma
display if this is how you hook up anything other than a video game
system. Composite wires may be the only way to connect older VCRs
and cable boxes.
•
Good
-
S-Video uses a
round four pin plug on a single wire designed to be superior to
composite video, in reality composite video is as good or better.
S-video may be the only way to connect older VCRs and cable
boxes.
•
Poor
-
Coaxial cable
may be the only connection available for older cable boxes, and may
be the only way to connect older VCRs.
•
Computer
-
VGA (video
graphics array) is the 15-pin, screw in plug used to connect a
computer to a monitor. They can also connect your computer to a
plasma TV.
