Chapter 2: Connecting your TV
Connecting a DVD player with ColorStream® (component video), a VCR, and a satellite receiver

Your TV has two sets of ColorStream® HD (high definition

component video) inputs.

You will need:
•coaxial cables
•standard A/V cables
– For better picture performance, if your VCR has S-video,
connect an S-video cable and standard (analog) audio
cables to the VIDEO-2 inputs on the side panel (instead of
the VIDEO-1 inputs). Do not connect both types of video
cable to VIDEO-2 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 or satellite receiver to either
set of ColorStream terminals on the TV (HD-1 or HD-2).
The ColorStream HD-1 and HD-2 terminals can be used
with Progressive (480p, 720p) and Interlaced (480i, 1080i)
scan systems. A 1080i signal will provide the best picture
performance.
– If your DVD player or satellite receiver does not have
component video or S-video, connect standard A/V
cables to VIDEO-1. If your DVD player has HDMI video,
see page 15.
