] COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT
If your DVD player or other device has component video
connectors, be sure 1o connect them Io these component video
conneclors on the TX=DS898. The TX-DS898 has two component
video input connector,s to obtain the color information (Y, PB, PR)
directly from the recorded DVD signal or other video component
and one component video output connector to output it directly inlo
the matrix decoder of the display device. By sending the pure DVD
component video signal directly, the DVD signal forgoes the extra
processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is
vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike color,s and
crisp detail.
