About the video jacks
There are three types of video jacks.
VIDEO jacks transmit composite signals.
S VIDEO jacks transmit S-video signals.
S-video signals are separated into
luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals
to achieve high-quality color
reproduction.
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks transmit
component signals.
Component signals are separated into
luminance (Y) and color difference (P
B
/
C
B
, P
R
/C
R
) to provide the best quality in
picture reproduction.
Refer to the owner’s manuals for your monitor and other
components being connected to reproduce these signals
correctly.
You can connect an S-video output and component video
output of your video components to this unit. Connect an
S-video output to the S VIDEO jack and component video
output to the COMPONENT VIDEO jack on this unit.
