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

) and
luminance signal (Y) separately in order to
achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.

S-VIDEO OUT terminal
The S-VIDEO OUT 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 tele-
vision.)
When making this connection, ensure you connect the audio
cables to the corresponding audio input terminals on the televi-
sion.
