Multimedia system (Home cinema)
Author: ffDiaporama Team

These "Home Cinema" devices are connected to a television set. The format choice will thus be made according to the requirements of the set used.
Warning: The old SD format is only suitable for old television sets using cathode ray tube technology. With these tubes, points were not circular but oval: we call this anamorphism.
Playing a video in SD format on a modern LCD, LED or plasma television set gives openly disastrous results: The image is particularly ugly! Thus, if your television is new and if your device allows it, always use a HD or Full-HD format in preference to a SD format.
