The connector on the source is usually yellow and is frequently labelled VIDEO. Although other types of signals are preferable (since they allow better picture quality), Composite Video signal is still very com- mon, and nearly all television receivers, video-recorders, DVD players, camcorders, etc., are equipped with it.
