(type)
			HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface). It is the first and
Best			only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video
			interface. HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video
(digital)			source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and
			an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television
			(DTV), over a single cable.
Best			DTV Coaxial RF. When used for MPEG2 encoded bit streams
(digital)			from ATSC broadcast programming, this input takes advantage
			of the High Definition content.

			TV Coaxial RF. This is the connection for standard NTSC TV
(analog)			using antenna or cable.
Best			RGB PC (VGA). This video input has separate red, green and
			blue color components. The signal carries	horizontal	and
(analog)			vertical sync information on the green signal.	This is	most
			commonly used for PC input.
			Component. The video signal is separated into three signals,
Better			one containing the black-and-white information and the other
(analog)			two containing the color information. This enhancement over S-
			Video takes advantage of the superior picture provided by
			progressive scan DVD players and HDTV formats.
Good			Composite. The complete video signal is carried through this
(analog)			single pin connector. This is the most commonly used video
			connection.
Best			USB (Universal Serial Bus). USB is an interface port designed
			to connect storage devices holding data (FAT32 format: JPEG
(digital)
			for image) files without a need to power off the host (TV) unit.

Note: You can use your HDTV Component input to accept A/V signal (Composite) from a source with A/V out, please plug your video signal (yellow connector) into the Component input (green connector) and match up the audio connectors (R and L) for the sound. Expect to see a black/white video in the Component input, if selected by accident.
