Component (colordifference) video outputThe color signal of the "iV is divided into the luminance(Y) signal and the color (Pe and Pn)signals and thenoutput. In this way mutual interference of each signal isavoided. On a TV with component input jacks, thesesignals are synthesized to produce the picture.
Condition memory
"Condition" refers to the various mode settings, etc. Onthis player, various conditions, such as those set duringplayback, can be memorized. This function allows you top_aybeck the same disc at any time without having toredo your preferred settings.

Digital output (Coaxlel)
Output of the digital audio signal is transmittedelectronically using a coaxial cable. Because the signalbeing transmitted is digital, connection must be made tothe coaxial digital input of another component. Noise willbe output if connected to the analog audio inputs as thedigital signal cannot be decoded.
Digital output (Optical)
Norrnalh/, audio is converted to an electric signal andtransmitted through an electric wire from the player tothe amplifier, etc. Changing this signal m a digital signa_and transmitting it through an fiber-optic cable is calledoptical digital output. Similarly, optical digital inputreceives digital signals from external units such as an AVamplifier or receiver.
DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)Digital noise reduction, in reference to video picturequality, refers to the detection and removal of digitalartifacts, or errant video data, which appear as specks onthe screen, When the digital noise reduction function ofthis player is on, some of this data can be detected andkept from appearing on the screen,

Sampling Frequency
When a sound wave is converted to a digital signal, thesound is sampled and converted to data at a specificfrequency rate. For example, a signal with a 96 kHzsampling rate indicates that in one second, the analogsignal was sampled 96000 times to produce the digitalsignal.
S-video
Connecting the S-video output on the p!ayer to a _ ormonitor with S-video input via an S-video cable producesclearer picture reproduction by sending separate signalsfor the luminance and the color.These signals are thencombined by the television to produce a better qualitypicture.
Systom control
When you connect this player via a cord with a mini plugto another Pioneer component such as a receiver or anamplifier bearing the [] mark, you can control the playeras though it were a component in a system.
