Getting the most out of your high-definition Sony Bravia requires that you connect the TV to a high-definition signal, such as from an HD cable box or a Blu-ray disc player. The quality of your connection will depend on the resolution of your TV, the output resolution of your cable box and the type of cable you use to connect the TV to the cable box. The best picture and sound quality can be achieved by connecting your Bravia to the cable box using an HDMI cable. Although this option is more costly, HDMI cables can display video in 1080i and 1080p resolutions; component video cables are cheaper than HDMI cables and display video up to a 720p resolution. Connecting the Sony Bravia to a high-definition cable box using a coaxial or composite video cable will result in poor video quality and will not utilize your TV’s high-definition capabilities.
