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 horizontal
Blue
and vertical sync information on the green signal. This is
most commonly used for PC input.
Component - The video signal is separated into three

the other two containing the color information. This
Green
enhancement over S-Video takes advantage of the superior
picture provided by progressive scan DVD players and
HDTV formats.
S-Video (AV) - 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
