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

After making this connection, change the black level for a better picture.  
(page 18, Video—Black Level Control)  
The S video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than

on the television.)
