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.)
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal
Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (PB/

R) 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/P
