Connecting a DVD player with ColorStream® (component video) and a VCR

This connection allows you to watch DVD, VCR, or TV programs and record TV programs. You can record from one source while watching a program from another source. Your TV is capable of using ColorStream (component video). Connecting your TV to a component video compat- ible DVD player, such as a Toshiba DVD player with ColorStream®, can greatly enhance picture quality and performance.

You will need:

three coaxial cables

two sets of standard A/V cables

one S-video cable

one pair of standard audio cables

Note:

You can use a standard video cable instead of the S-video cable, but the picture quality will decrease. If you use an S-video cable between the TV and DVD player/satellite receiver, make the audio connections only and remove the standard video cable.

You will need:

two coaxial cables

one set of standard A/V cables

one set of component video cables

one pair of standard audio cables

The ColorStream inputs on this TV are for use with devices that output 480i interlaced signals ONLY. This TV will not accept or display 480p or 720p progressive scan signals or 1080i interlaced high-definition signals. If you connect a high-definition set- top receiver, 480p progressive scan DVD player, or other similar device to the TV’s ColorStream inputs, YOU MUST SWITCH THE DEVICE’S OUTPUT TO 480i INTERLACED MODE FIRST. Failure to do this will cause a poor picture or no picture to display.

27A14 specifications

The Toshiba 27A14 is a classic model that represents the transition period in television technology, combining traditional CRT (cathode ray tube) design with some early advancements in viewing and sound quality. Released in the early 2000s, the 27A14 is a 27-inch television that appeals to those who appreciate the solid, reliable performance commonly associated with CRT televisions.

One of the main features of the Toshiba 27A14 is its 27-inch screen size, which provides a generous viewing area, making it suitable for various room sizes. The television boasts a resolution of 480i, which was standard at the time, ensuring that viewers can enjoy clear images for their favorite shows and movies. With a 4:3 aspect ratio, it is particularly compatible with old-school programming and VHS tapes, offering an authentic viewing experience for classic content.

The Toshiba 27A14 incorporates Dynamic Picture Control technology, which enhances color accuracy and contrast. This technology adjusts the brightness dynamically, resulting in more vibrant colors and deeper blacks, significantly improving the overall quality of visual output. The direct-view CRT display reflects Toshiba's commitment to delivering solid picture quality, making it an ideal choice for watching movies, sports, and TV shows.

Another significant characteristic of the Toshiba 27A14 is its audio system. The built-in speakers deliver a power output of around 20 watts, which is respectable for a television of this era. The sound quality is enhanced by the inclusion of stereo audio output, ensuring clearer and more immersive audio regardless of what the viewer is watching.

The Toshiba 27A14 also emphasizes connectivity, featuring multiple inputs including composite video, RF input, and audio outputs. This allows users to connect a variety of devices such as VHS players, game consoles, and DVD players, maintaining versatility in its usage.

In summary, the Toshiba 27A14 stands out as a reliable CRT television with a solid combination of features, including Dynamic Picture Control, a good-sized screen, and reasonable audio output. While it may not compete with later flat-panel technologies in terms of slim design and high-definition picture quality, it remains a nostalgic choice for those yearning for the simplicity and straightforward performance of traditional televisions.
