∫ Basic connection
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal
These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive
output (➜ page 7) 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 color.
≥When making this connection:
–Ensure you connect the audio cables to the corresponding audio
input terminals on the television.
