OK, I'll give it a go. The vast majority of the target marketplace will use the composite or Y/C connectors, so those are clearly worth putting on. Only a tiny fraction of the target market would have a clue what to do with component connectors (especially outside of Europe, where the SCART connector provides a reasonably idiot-proof all-in-one plug), so the marginal incremental profit of adding three more BNCs as well as the drivers and buffer amplifiers for them must be balanced against the surprisingly significant costs. Component I/O fails the cost/benefit analysis most of the time in the consumer market. There is as you mention a paralley cynical argument about enforced market segmentation, but surely none of the major manufacturers (I will specifically avoid mentioning Sony lest someone think I'm prejudiced) would stoop to such a low, mean-spirited, and utility-destroying ploy. Perry, I'm shocked that you would even suggest such a thing. Shame, shame. ;-) Cheers, Adam Wilt Buyer alert: JVC dual-deck DVS2U does NOT have component out - "Perry" From: Adam Wilt OK, I'll give it a go.
