If I don’t connect the HDMI … Will the Gotv not be working/Showing??,.. I mean …is the HDMi really Needed for the Got to Work??
You can use either HDMI or The AV cable. You’ll still get everything working without using HDMI. Although the HDMI gives you quality video on your TV .
Please after connecting it like that are going to set it to av1 or HDMI1? for the new decoder to plasma tv
You can use any of them. If your TV have an HDMI port, use the HDMI for quality video output
If you have a Plasma TV and all the HDMI ports are not fill up, Connect it to the HDMI port for quality video on your TV. You can use either the AV port or the HDMI. The difference is that the HDMI port is made to provide high quality video output.
