Basic connection

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive
output ( page 9) and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO
OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color
difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in
order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.The description of
the component video input terminals depends on the television or
monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Connect to terminals of
the same color.
When making this connection, ensure you connect the audio cables
to the corresponding audio input terminals on the television.
After making this connection, change the black level for a better
picture ( page 20, Video—Black Level Control).

S VIDEO OUT terminal

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