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 (P
B/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/P
B/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Connect to terminals of the same
