The S-video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO
OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y)
signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)
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.
³The 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). Con-
nect to terminals of the same color.

To improve picture quality, you can change the video signal output from the AV (AV1) terminal from “Video” to either “S-Video” or “RGB” to suit the
type of television you are using [á page 22, Video–AV (AV1) Output]. (“RGB” available
with DVD-RV41 only.)
S-VIDEO provides better quality than VIDEO and RGB provides the best picture quality.
