Moving to the right of the HDMI connection is the Ethernet connection. This connection allows you to connect the BDP-95FD directly to the internet for access to firmware updates, and also to a home network made of up a PCs or Media Servers for access to stored still images, video, or audio files.
Next, to the right of the Ethernet connection, there are three more types of video output connections offered. The yellow connection is the Composite, or standard analog video output. Just below the Composite video output is the S-Video output. If you have an HDTV the composite or S-video connections are not required, or advisable, as they cannot pass progressive scan or upscaled video.
To the right of the analog video output connections is the Component Video output. This output consists of Red, Green, and Blue connectors. These connectors plug into the same type of connectors on a TV, Video Projector, or AV receiver.
Still moving right, both a Digital Coaxial and Digital Optical audio connection. Either connection can be used. Check your Home Theater Receiver for the type that you have access to.

Finally, on the far right, is a set of analog 2-channel stereo output connections.
