You will need:
coaxial cables
standard A/V cables
For better picture performance, if your VCR has S-video,
use an S-video cable (plus the audio cables) instead of
the standard video cable. Do not connect both types of
video cable to VIDEO at 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 to the set of
ColorStream HD terminal on the TV . The ColorStream
HD terminal can be used with Progressive (480p, 720p)
and Interlaced (480i, 1080i) scan systems. A 1080i
signal will provide the best picture performance (1080p
is not supported).
If your DVD player does not have component video,
connect a standard A/V cable to VIDEO on the back
panel. If your DVD player has HDMI video, see page 17.
