About the S-video socket
S-video sockets are used to separately pass
the chroma (colour) and luminance
(brightness) components of video signals.
They serve to improve the picture quality in
both recording and playback.
Note:

other equipment to be used are turned
off before making any connections.
Picture noise or malfunction may occur
if any of the above is left on while

operation manual of your TV.)
