Now we come to the meat of the subject the connections. The back of an hd set can be very confusing if your not fimiliar with the different types of connectors. Here we will discuss the differences between the connectors and the benefits to you.
1. HDMI, hdmi stands for high-definition multimedia interface. This is probably the best connection on your hd set. You will find this connector looks like a computer connector, which basically what it is. You will find this connector on HD satelite receivers and dvd players. In most cases you have to buy that connector separately.
2. Component video: What component video does is break the video signal down to the three primary colors of television (red,green and blue). This connection helps insure proper color registration for more detail and more accurate colors.
3. S-video: Although s-video has been around for sometime if you don't have either of the previous connectors on your unit s-video gives you an improved picture from just composite video. S-video basically breaks the video signal in two parts, the video signal comes in one connector and the color information comes in the other connector.
If you haven't heard Feb 2009 will bring the total conversion to digital tv broadcasts. You will either need a convertor box or buy a new tv.
