Y=Green/sync, Pb=blue, Pr = red. These are video cables where the colors have been separated into it basic Green, Blue and Red signals. Makes it easier for the digital system to work with (and coincidentally, cheaper to make) by driving the individual color components separately.

Why does DVD player hooked up via Y Pb Pr cables make screen red?
You have the cables crossed. Check the connection, fixed the ones that are not plugged into the right jack.
Can y cb and cr cables be used in place of y pb and pr cables?
Y Pb Pr cables are identical to those used for YUV, Y Cb Cr and RGB cables. They are therefore completely interchangeable. YUV and YPbPr signals are both referred to as component signals although the precise format of the signals are different. The interface is the same for each, namely three wires. The standard cable is a 75 Ohm co-ax cable terminated in RCA plugs for domestic equipment and BNC connectors for commercial equipment. It is always worth using good quality cable to avoid losses in the signal. RGB uses the same three wires but the signal is separated into three separate colors. Normally, an RGB signal will have additional cables for synchronisation signals so an RGB interface will often have 4 or 5 connectors.
What is the difference between Pr Pb Y and Cr Cb Y audio video ports. will my devices work if a connect the two ports together?
They are both color space video but PrPbY is analog video and CrCbY is digital video.TriviaConventionally the Y is first followed by b then r, as in YPbPr which has led to the wires being known as 'yipper' lines/cables.
ON the back of my TV it has the audio video port Pb Pr Y and Y port and my DVD VCR player has audio video port Cb Cr Y port. Is it possible to connect the the two ports together?
Yes. They are both component video and analog audio connectors on both systems. You may not be able to use the comonent output on the DVD VCR for playing back VHS tapes, depending upon the system. Check your manual.
