• Coaxial cable is the cable that comes in from your antenna, cable TV

service, or cable converter box. Coaxial cable uses "F" connectors.

• Standard stereo A/V cables usually come in sets of three, and are

typically color-coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio. Your TV's standard A/V inputs are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.

• S-Video cable is for use with video equipment that has S-Video connectors.

• Component video cables come in sets of three (typically color-coded

red, green, and blue), and are for use with video equipment that has component video connectors. Your TV's ColorStream ® (component
