Yes, I needed special adaptors on my last set. This one was pretty

For the oldest one, I had an adaptor that hooked a cable jack up to the two

Yes, you can adapt the cable to the 2 screw setup easily enough.

Offhand, I cannot remember how I hooked the older one up as it didn't have

I did that too at times. Currently my DVD/VCR is hooked up via cable to
the TV set. Up a wall, across the attic, and then through another wall
to a Jack Plate behind the TV. PVR cables come through the floor and
it is under the TV stand.

Unless I memorize the buttons to push in order, I can't even listen
to music on that DVD player without the television being connected
and on so I can see the menus. The DVD and VCR use my Stereo system
for sound but the TV is across the room from there..

I don't use high end stereo sound with the TV but it has special
dual speakers built in that do amazing things with sound on
Movies or shows that have surround sound built in. A sound can
seem to be coming from 10 feet off to the side of the TV set.

It won't take HDMI cables, but those can be adapted to RCA Jacks.

All of the extra resolution would leak out of the connectors, I suppose.

Given that the TV set is a 22 year old CRT set it couldn't handle
much resolution at the best of times. I'm happy and amazed that it
can do things like zoom in or stretch the resolution as well as it
can, although the PVR may be more responsible for that, but it allows
me to view quite high resolution signals a little better, even if the horizontal edges are chopped off.

As I understand it, CRT screens don't have a native resolution,
so you can't put a maximum number on it. They basically take the
signal and just display it.. and yes, no doubt with some loss of
clarity, and that's limited by the TV's built in memory and such.
