About S video input
Video input and output signals can be separated into Y
(luminance or brightness) and C (chroma or color) signals.
Usually these two signals are ccmbined in a VCR and sent
as one signal to a TV. Separation of the Y and C signals
prevents them from interfering with one another, thereby
inproving picture (especially color) quality.
This TV is equipped with an S video input jack through
which these separated signals can be input directly. This
way you can connect your S vid,_o-equipped VCR
separately from a non-S vide() VCR.
