• About the video jacks
There are three types of video jacks.

Video signals input through the VIDEO jacks are the conventional
composite video signals.
0 S VIDEO jack
Video signals input through the S VIDEO jacks are separated into
luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals. The S-video signals
achieve high quality color reproduction. When you are using the S
VIDEO jacks, check the details in the owner's manual that came
with the component being connected.
0 COMPONENT VIDEO jacks
Video signals input through the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks are
separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (PB/CB, PR/CR)
video signals. The jacks are also separated into three for each signal.
The labels of the component video jacks may be different depend-
ing on the component (e.g. Y, CB, CR/Y, PB, PR/Y, B-Y, R-Y/etc.).

reproduction. When you are using the COMPONENT VIDEO
jacks, check the details in the owner's manual that came with the
