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 ter-
minal.
Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference
signals (P

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

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 televi-
sion.)
When making this connection, ensure you connect the audio
cables to the corresponding audio input terminals on the televi-
sion.
