able to display a richer and cleaner picture than what is displayed
with the Stereo AV Cable.
What you need for a component video signal:
Progressive Scan Signal
The Component Video Cable is also capable of transmitting a progressive
scan signal to the TV. With a progressive scan signal, the TV is
able to display a sharper and clearer picture. To do this, the Nintendo
GameCube game being played must be programmed for progressive scan,
and your TV has to have the ability to display
this signal in progressive scan mode.

Note: The Component Video Cables are designed for transmitting a video signal only. The stereo AV cables that are included with your system are needed to transmit the audio portion of the game.
Note about the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Player: The Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Player is programmed to send a progressive scan signal for all Game Boy games. Please keep in mind that improvements in quality may be difficult to notice with the Game Boy games.
