Hello everybody,
for Christmas I got a brandnew AV-Receiver.
Now I'm trying to integrate into the existing system.
The problem is my somewhat antique satellite receiver which only has a SCART-socket. This socket can be switched by an adapter to YUV.
My question now: Is YUV the same as component? If not where are the differences?

Thanks in advance for your help

Here is what I got from Google and the YUV wiki:

"The YUV model defines a color space in terms of one luma and two chrominance components. The YUV color model is used in the PAL, NTSC, and SECAM composite color video standards. Previous black-and-white systems used only luma (Y) information and color information (U and V) was added so that a black-and-white receiver would still be able to display a color picture as a normal black and white picture.

YUV models human perception of color in a different way than the standard RGB model used in computer graphics hardware.

Y stands for the luma component (the brightness) and U and V are the chrominance (color) components. The YPbPr color model used in analog component video and its digital version YCbCr used in digital video are more or less derived from it (Cb/Pb and Cr/Pr are deviations from grey on blue-yellow and red-cyan axes, whereas U and V are blue-luminance and red-luminance differences), and are sometimes inaccurately called "YUV". The YIQ color space used in the analog NTSC television broadcasting system is related to it, although in a more complex way."

So it appears that it might be worth a try if you have the correct cables.

YES.
