So you just bought yourself a new HDTV and you're wondering, does it make any difference? How you hook it up? Well, yes, it does. The reason you bought an HDTV is so you could have a high quality signal. And how you hook it up, as we're going to demonstrate, makes a big difference. Now we'll start from the order of lowest to highest. This here is an RF cable. And you can you screw it to your wall if you have basic cable and screw the other end right to here. And the picture is standard definition or the lowest quality you can get. Our next level up is a composite video cable. And the reason it's a little bit better is the video is on the yellow cable and the audio is on the red and white. So it's separated and it gives a little bit better cable. And again, you connect that to the yellow, white, and red on your TV as well as the yellow, white, and red on your cable box or your dish or direct TV receiver. Moving up the ladder, so to speak, is components. And that is five different ones. Of course, you might recognize these, the red and the white, as the audio, left and right channel. But now instead of the yellow has all the colors mixed together. Well, here the colors are separated. And again, where you hook those up, the green, blue, and red, white, and red right there on that TV. And then on the converter box, you hook it up the same green, red, blue, white, and red on this. And last but not least, we have the best of all for the gold standard is the HDMI cable. That stands for high definition multimedia interface. And all you do with it is the simplest one. You just plug it in, the HDMI connection in the back of your receiver, and plug the other end into an HDMI port. There's usually more than one in the back of your TV. And that will give you your best picture quality. So look for more Frith Quick Tips on YouTube.
