Description
VHF/UHF.
The video and audio signals are both
carried in one cable. It is the only
way to connect an antenna to your
LCD TV.
Composite.
The video signal is carried through a
single "pin." This connection method
is the one that is most commonly
found on devices.
S-Video.
The video signal is split into two
signals, brightness and color.
Text displayed on-screen through this
connection will be noticeably sharper
than composite or VHF/UHF.
Component.
The video signal is split into three
signals, two color, and one brightness.
Use component video to take
advantage of the superior picture
provided by signal sources such as
SDTV and DVD.
