■ About the video jacks
There are three types of video jacks. Video signals input through the VIDEO jacks are the conventional composit video
signals. 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. Video signals input through the COMPONENT VIDEO
jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (P
signals. Video signals input through the S VIDEO jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals.
