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

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

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

To record and watch a DTV program, select LINE IN on the VCR, and select ColorStream HD-2 (or VIDEO 1 for a non- ColorStream connection) on the TV (see “Selecting the antenna input” on page 21).

To record a TV program while watching a DTV program, tune the VCR to the channel to record, and select ColorStream HD-2 on the TV.

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

To 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.

You will need:

three coaxial cables

two sets of standard A/V cables

one pair of audio cables

one set of component video cables

Stereo VCR

DTV Receiver with component video

Note:

For the highest possible picture quality, use component video cables (or a DVI-D single- link cable) between the TV and DTV receiver. You can connect component video cables to either set of ColorStream jacks on the TV (HD-1 or HD-2).

The ColorStream HD-1 and HD-2 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 component video (or DVI/HDCP video), use the S-video and standard audio connections instead of the ColorStream connections. 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.

For DVI/HDCP connection, see page 13.

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.
