Component - Component video provides a sharper image than
composite video and S-video because the three video signals are
transmitted via three separate channels.
Compatible
(analog)
S-Video (AV) - Combining the three video signals into two channels,
S-Video provides a sharper image than Composite video, but is not as
good as Component video.
Composite (AV) - All three video signals are combined into one
channel, thus making the image less sharp than Component or
S-Video.
