S VIDEO OUT terminal
The S video terminal achieves a more vivid picture
than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the
chrominance (C) and luminance (Y) signals. (Actual
results depend on the television.)
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal
These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output and provide
a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals
outputs the color difference signals (P
B
/P
R
) and luminance signal (Y) separately in
order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.

The description of the component video input terminals depends on the television
or monitor (e.g. Y/P
