HDTV Rear Panel Connections

Robert Silva
Here is a look at rear connection panel of a typical HDTV.

On the top, from left to right, there are connections for HDMI/DVI, including a set of analog stereo audio inputs, and a VGA monitor input for use with a PC.

On the top right is the RF Coaxial Cable/Antenna Connection. Just below the RF connection are headphone and analog stereo audio outputs.

On the bottom left there are two sets of HD-Component inputs, paired with analog stereo audio inputs.

On the bottom right side are a service port, plus two sets of analog stereo audio and composite video inputs.

There is also an S-video input option just to the right of one of the composite video inputs.

As you can see, an HDTV has a variety of both standard and HD input options.
