The Philips CD-i was an interactive multimedia player that also ran games, built around the analog A/V standards of the early 1990s. This mains-powered deck offers the fullest connection choice of its generation: an RGB SCART Euroconnector for the sharpest picture, plus separate S-Video (Y/C), composite (CVBS) and stereo RCA audio outputs. An RF antenna input and output let it pass a TV signal through for older sets. For the best image on a modern display, the RGB SCART output is the one to use.
Philips’ interactive CD-i player with RGB SCART, S-Video, composite RCA video, stereo RCA audio and RF antenna in/out.
