may provide lower quality video. If
you did not order a display device
when you purchased your Media
Center computer, a progressive

Quality of video source
—The
quality of the video signal coming
into the Media Center computer has
an affect on the video quality. The
video displayed from the Media
Center is only as good as the source
video signal. Cable, digital cable,
and satellite usually provide better
quality than an antenna.
■
Type of connection used
—You
can connect the Media Center
computer video output to a TV.
However, the connection type has
an affect on the video quality. The
Media Center has two video
outputs:
VGA
—If your TV includes a VGA
port, connect the VGA cable from
the Media Center computer’s VGA
(monitor) port to the TV’s VGA In
port for the best quality. Many TVs
do not have a VGA port.
S-Video
—If your TV does not have
a VGA port, but includes an S-Video
port, connect the S-Video cable
from the Media Center computer’s
S-Video Out port to the TV’s S-Video
In port. S-Video display quality is
usually good for TV images. The
display quality for the Media Center
computer functions, however, is not
as good as VGA output. S-Video
display output is not optimized for
computer video display.
