HD READY

What connection does the V+ box have?

If its an HDMI connection, about 1.5 cm wide and 0.5 cm tall, you'll need an HDMI to DVI (Digital Video Input) converter cable. Plug this into the DVI input to the left of the Scart sockets when looking at the back of the TV. You should be able to get one from Currys/PC World/local HiFi shop.

If you get a message "Going to DPMI mode", it means that the DVI isn't receiving a signal. Check your manual for the V+ box and the TV to make sure that they're set up compatably.

I recently bought an Onkyo AV Receiver and run the output from it into the TV using one of these cables. Picture is upscaled to 1080i by the Onkyo and, with 5.1 speakers, its great.

Good luck

I have the same TV & I've tried connecting it through "component" & the DVI but neither work & a Virgin media tech says only an HD TV will work 'the boxdoesn't recognise component
