Types of Input and Output Jacks

VIDEO AUDIO
Video equipment commonly uses these cable types:
Composite (RCA-style) video and audio
S-video (Y/C)
BNC video, used in some professional equipment
RF cables (Coaxial cable and twin-lead antenna cable)
Audio
RF cables carry the audio signal along with the video. All the others
require a separate audio cable.
A stereo audio device (with separate L and R inputs or outputs) is con-
nected using two RCA-style cables. A mono audio device is connected using
one RCA-style cable.
You may also need a Y-cable if you plan to connect a mono output to both
channels of a stereo device; or to connect a stereo output to a mono input.
