Connector
HDMI (Video5) - 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.

TV Coaxial RF. This is the connection for standard NTSC TV
using antenna or cable.
RGB PC (Video4) – This video input has separate 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.
Component (Video3)- 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 (Video2) - 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.
Composite (Video1) - The complete video signal is carried through
this single pin connector. This is the most commonly used video
connection.
