Not all receivers can play all video media standards. Select your receiver by the standard of video media you will most want to view.\r\nIf you own a computer with a CD burner, video format will be an important consideration. \r\nVCD stands for 'Video Compact Disc' and referes to a CD that contains moving pictures and sound. VCDs use an encoding standard called MPEG-1 to store the video and audio. \r\nSVCD (Super Video CD) is an MPEG-2 Video CD, with higher image resolution than a VCD. \r\nDivX is based on the MPEG-4 compression format. MPEG-4 is a standard of video compression that is both high quality and low bitrate. Some call MPEG-4 the "MP3 of the video world". Its quality can range from net-streaming quality to as good as DVD. \r\nVHS refers to the the large home video cassettes that are used in standard home VCRs. Because they are bulky and display lower quality video than other, newer formats, they are slowly being replaced by many newer digital medias. S-VHS and Super-VHS provide higher resolution. \r\nDVD is short for digital versatile disc or digital video disc, a type of optical disk technology similar to the CD-ROM. A DVD holds a minimum of 4.7 GB of data, enough for a full-length movie. It is now the favored standard for most digital movie releases and rentals. \r\nDigital8 is mostly used as a camcorder media. It records digital video onto an 8mm cassette that can hold 2.5 hours of video at a resolution of about 500 lines.
Supported Video Formats
Video CD (VCD), DVD, SVCD

Video connectors are the standard jacks used to connect video components to each other. These connections are used for transferring video signals from a source (like a DVD player) to a monitor. Input connectors allow information to be transferred to the device from another device. Component Video will provide the best picture for DVDs as they are encoded in component video. S-Video has a special four-pin connector that carries the chrominance (color) and luminance (brightness) portions of the video signal separately, this improves color accuracy and reduces distortion. Optical/ Coaxial digital inputs are used to receive AC3, Dolby Digital and DTS audio signals up to 6 channels (5.1). A special feature of these inputs is an immunity to radio frequency (RF) interference. Also handy is the ability to use an easy single cable connection.
