This is better known as a 15 pin VGA port. You could hook up a PC or
laptop through it or get a VGA to component adapter cable and set the
port to use component type input (it may switch automatically).

The D connector is a HD-15 (VGA) connector carrying an analog component
YPbPr HD signal

it's analog only - not the same as the digital HDMI or DVI

You can buy converter cables that have the HD15 at one end and three RCA
plugs at the other - I paid less than $30 for mine.

Really?
I would have thought that "15-pin D-Sub" means a VGA connection, an
analogue RGB signal with separate VH sync signals typically connected
to a PC monitor output.

An "YPbPr" input is usually the 3 RCA connectors for "Component
Video".

I thinki we agree that it's a connector whose most common
applicationis as a VGA input. However, some displays can handle other
input formats on that same connector. Depends on the set.

The D connector is the same, the signals are not.... unless of course you
really do have an RGB only input though this is pretty rare in HD.

Your TV set MAY have a set up function to determine if the input is
component (YPbPr) or RGB.
My Philips has such a setting.

I don't know why some sets have a D connector instead of 3 RCA jacks - it
could have been an aborted standard or something.

The signal levels are same between component and RGB and they are easy to
convert with a cheap analog circuit.
