LG DP781 Portable 8" DVD Player--Coax?

[W. Watson]

I bought the dvd player in the Subject. It has two sockets called A/V in/out
and coaxial. the take what looks like the same plug. I can take the RCA 3
plug to a single plug and put it in either socket. If I do this with my
Panasonic dvd player I cannot see any image on the portable's screen. I do
this to checkout the Panasonic, which has TV to connect it to. What's the
difference between the two sockets, and particularly what is coax really
about? A socket that's both in and out?

Thanks. Which review? There are many. The manual barely mentions what the
ports are. There is a picture that gives a clue about them though.
Interesting that a port can be both in and out. I've been using mine for
about 3 weeks, and do like it.

Did you read the review that you posted the link to?

Coax is the digital audio output.

The two A/V plugs are most likely composite video out and composite video
in.
