Description

Digital HD (HDMI - High-Definition Multime- dia Interface) - It is the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video 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.

DTV Coaxial RF. When used for MPeg2 encoded bit streams from ATSC broadcast programming, this input takes advantage of the High Definition content.

Analog Rgb (VgA) - This video input has seperate red, green and blue color components. The signal carries horizontal and vertical sync information on the green signal. This is most commonly used for PC input

Analog HD1/HD2 (Component) - The video signal is separated into three signals, one containing the black-and-white information and the other 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.

S-Video (AV) - The video signal is separated into two signals, one containing the black- and-white information and the other containing the color information. Separating the color in this way avoids ‘cross color’ effects where closely spaced black and white lines are erroneously displayed in color. It also enables text to be displayed more sharply.

AV1/AV2/AV (Composite) - The complete video signal is carried through this single pin connector.This is the most commonly used video connection.

Coaxial RF.This is the only connection that has the audio and the video in one cable. If you have an antenna, this is the only way you can connect it to the LCD TV. If you have a VCR, you can connect your antenna/cable to the VCR RF Input and connect the VCR RF Output to this connector.
