What are Y, Pb, and Pr components, and what do they do for you?
Basically, Y, Pb, and Pr are component video cables. To get the right color signal, you should check that the cables are connected correctly.
The Y cable should be connected to the HD decoder, the Pb cable to the Pb outlet, and the Pr cable to the Pr outlet. In most consumer electronics, Y is green, Pb is blue, and Pr is red.
