You will need:

coaxial cables

standard A/V cables

For better picture performance, if your VCR has S-video, connect an S-video cable and standard (analog) audio cables to the VIDEO-2inputs on the side panel (instead of the VIDEO-1inputs). Do not connect both types of video cable to VIDEO-2at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

If you have a mono VCR, connect L/MONO on the TV to your VCR’s audio out terminal using the white audio cable only.

standard audio cables

component video cables

You can connect the component video cables (plus audio cables) from the DVD player or satellite receiver to either set of ColorStream terminals on the TV (HD-1or HD-2). The ColorStream HD-1and HD-2terminals can be used with Progressive (480p, 720p, 1080p) and Interlaced (480i, 1080i) scan systems.
