S-VideoandDVIconnections are already gone, and the number ofcomponent videoandcomposite videoconnections is now few.
Manufacturers call this setup a shared connection.
Composite Video
The composite video connection uses a yellow-tipped RCA cable.
Lifewire / Robert Silva
It sends an analog video signal in which both the color and black-and-white portions transfer together.
Composite connections usually handled low-resolution (also referred to asstandard definition) video.
What these initials mean is that the red and blue cables carry the color information of the video signal.
Component video is flexible.
However, this restriction doesn’t affect content sources that existed before the implementation of this limitation.
In almost all cases, TVs with a shared composite/component video connection only offer one set.
Then, connect the home theater receiver to your TV via its HDMI output.
The Bottom Line
With all the changes in how you access home entertainment, what lies ahead?
