To the right of the HDMI connection Digtial Coaxial Audio Connection. Many DVD players feature both a Digital Coaxial and Digital Optical audio connection. This DVD player only features one of them. If this is the case, you need to check that digital output connection that is on your DVD player is also available on your AV receiver.
Next, there are three types of video output connections offered: Just below the Digital Coaxial Audio output is the S-Video output. The Component Video outputs are to right of the S-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. The yellow connection is the Composite, or standard analog video output.
Finally, on the far right, is the analog stereo audio ouput connections, one for the left channel and one for right channel. This connection is useful for those that do not have a home theater or only have an television with stereo audio inputs.
It must be noted that the one type of connection that a DVD Player does not have is an RF antenna/cable output connection. This means that if you want to use a DVD Player with an older Television that cannot accommodate any of the audio or video connections shown above, you must purchase an additional device, called an RF Modulator, that can convert the Standard Audio and Video output from the DVD player to an RF Signal, that can be passed to the antenna/cable connection on an older television.
