Explanation of Terms

Aspect ratio
The TV screen's width to height ratio is referred to as its aspect
ratio. The aspect ratio on standard TVs is 4:3 and on wide TVs or
High Definition TVs it is 16:9.
S jack (S-VIDEO jack)
This jack separates and transmits the video signal as two signals;
the luminance (Y) signal and the color (C) signal. Because of this,
picture reproduction is superior to that obtained at the composite
input/output jacks.
S-video signal
The video signal is composed of two signals; the chroma signal
(color signal) which reproduces color and the luminance signal
which reproduces light and darkness. With standard video
components, these two signals are combined into one and are
handled as a video signal referred to as the composite signal.
The S-video signal, however, is a signal that handles these two
signals separately. Because they are not combined as in the
composite video signal, the high quality of both signals can be
retained.
