About S video input
Video input and output signals can be separated into Y
(luminance or brightness) and C (chroma or color)
signals. Usually these two signals are combined in a VCR
and sent as one signal to a TV. Separation of the Y and
C signals prevents them from interfering with one
another, thereby improving picture (especially color)
quality.
This TV is equipped with an S video input jack through
which these separated signals can be Input directly. This
way you can connect your S video-equipped VCR
separately from a non-S video VCR.

Reflections from nearby mountains or buildings often cause this
problem. A highly directional outdoor antenna or a CATV cable
may improve the picture.
