These Component Video Cables are the ideal choice for connecting your high-definition DVD player and high-end television. Using Component Video Cables, you bypass the TVs Y/C separator and Color Decoder, routing the color (Y Pr Pb ) information directly into the TVs matrix decoder. By sending the pure DVD component video signal directly to a component video input-equipped display device, the DVD signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike colors and crisp detail.
