Rear
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) - It is the
first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-
digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an
White
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 (VGA) – This video input has separate red,
green and blue color components. The signal carries
Blue
horizontal and vertical sync information on the green
signal. This is most commonly used for PC input.
Component - The video signal is separated into three
signals, one
Green
information and the other two containing the color
and
information. This enhancement over S-Video takes
Purple
advantage of the superior picture provided by
progressive scan DVD players and HDTV formats.
AV/S-Video – 1. Composite: The complete video
signal is carried through this single (yellow) pin
connector. This is the most commonly used video
connection. 2. S-Video: The video signal is separated
Yellow
into two signals, one containing the black-and-white
and
information and the other containing the color
Red
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.
