CONNECTORS EXPLAINED:

DIN

 

These round multi-pin connectors, developed in Europe in the 1960s, show up on some older imported audio equipment and on U.S.-made components aimed at an international market. Generally hated by North American audiophiles. Still used in the odd piece of audio gear as well as in a good deal of car stereo equipment. The name stands for Deutsche Industrie Normen, the German stan­dards setting body. S-video connections are made with miniature DIN plugs and jacks.
