Connecting your TV

Connecting a DVD player with component video and a VCR

This connection allows you to watch DVD, VCR, or TV programs. You can record one TV program while watching another TV program. You also can record a TV program while watching a DVD.

Your TV has ColorStream® (component video) inputs. Connecting your TV to a DVD player with component video (such as a Toshiba DVD player with ColorStream®) can greatly enhance picture quality and realism.

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

Note:

If your DVD player does not have component video connections, see “Connecting a DVD player or satellite receiver and a VCR” on page 9.

The ColorStream (component video) 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.

If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to the VCR’s AUDIO OUT terminal using only one audio cable.

If you have a VCR with S-video, use an S-video cable instead of a standard video cable. Do not connect a standard video cable and an S-video cable to VIDEO-1 on the TV back (or VIDEO-3 on the TV front) 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.
