Description
Coaxial RF. This is the only connection that has the audio and
the video in one cable. If you have an antenna or cable, this is
the only way you can connect it to the LCD TV. If you have a
VCR, you can connect your antenna or cable to the VCR RF
Input and connect the VCR RF Output to this connector.
Composite. The complete video signal is carried through this
single pin connector. This is the most commonly used video
connection.
S-Video. 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.
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.
