You will need:

three coaxial cables

two sets of standard A/V cables

one set of standard audio cables

one set of component video cables

Note:

You can connect the component video cables to either set of ColorStream jacks on the TV (HD-1 or HD-2.) For HDMI connection see page 14.

The ColorStream HD-1 and HD-2 jacks and HDMI jacks can be used with Progressive (480p, 720p) and Interlaced (480i, 1080i) scan systems. A 1080i signal will provide the best picture performance.

If your DTV receiver does not have compo- nent video, use the S-video and standard audio connections instead. Do not connect both an S-video and a standard video cable to VIDEO1 (or VIDEO2) at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

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.
