Connecting a DTV receiver/set-top box with ColorStream¨ (component video) and a VCR

This connection allows you to watch DTV (digital TV), VCR, and TV programs, and record DTV (composite video only) and TV programs.

Your TV has ColorStream¨ (component video) inputs. Connecting your TV to a DTV receiver with component video can greatly enhance picture quality and realism.

ÐTo record and watch a DTV program, select LINE IN on the VCR, and select ColorStream HD (or VIDEO 1 for a non- ColorStream connection) on the TV (see ÒSelecting the video input sourceÓ on page 44).

ÐTo record a TV program while watching a DTV program, tune the VCR to the channel to record, and select ColorStream HD on the TV.

ÐTo record and watch the same TV program, tune the VCR to the channel to record, and select VIDEO 1 on the TV.

ÐTo record one TV program while watching another TV program, tune the VCR to the channel to record, and tune the TV to the channel to watch.

Note:

For the highest possible picture quality, use component video cables (or an HDMI cable) between the TV and DTV receiver/set-top box.

You can connect the component video cables to either set of ColorStream inputs on the TV.

For HDMI or DVI connection, see page 15.

The ColorStream HD and HDMI inputs can be used with Progressive (480p, 720p) and Interlaced (480i, 1080i) scan systems; however, a 1080i signal will provide the best picture performance.

If your DTV receiver or set-top box is not compatible with component video, HDMI, or DVI use the S-video connections (plus the standard audio connections) instead (see page 12).

The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.
