Every expression of boolean algebra corresponds to a logic circuit. The letters used in the expression are represented by the inputs to the circuit. Each wire in the circuit represents some part of the expression. A gate takes the values from its input wires and combines them with the appropriate word--and, or, or not--to produce the label on its output wire. 2, record 1, English, - output%20line

Component Video Interconnects. Inputs 1 and 2 of the SD-641-HD5 have a 3rd type of input connection called a Component Connection(also found on better DVD players and HDTV set top boxes). This consists of 3 pin-type, or "RCA" jacks, and gives the best high resolution picture(it does this by transmitting the black and white information on one wire labeled Y, the difference between the black and white and red information on a second wire Yr, and the difference between the black and white and blue information on a third independent wire labeled Yb). HDTV monitors such as the SD-641-HD5 can accept signals from HDTV tuners and display 1080I HDTV images when using these component inputs, which can detect and display either HDTV from an HDTV tuner or NTSC signals from the component outputs of a DVD player. 2, record 4, English, - component%20connexion

In terms of image quality, the step from S-video to component video is less noticeable than that from composite- to S-video, but it can still make a noticeable difference on some sets. 3, record 4, English, - component%20connexion
