Component video inputs. Use the component connection when the source device (DVD) and output device (TV) both feature component connections. Component video signals use three wires that convey luminance (Y), red minus luminance [R – Y] (Pr), and blue minus luminance [B – Y] (Pb) signals. See the user man- uals included with these devices for more information. The

S–1000 is equipped with 4 sets of component video inputs (51).
