Connecting your TV

Connecting a DVD player with component video and a VCR

This connection allows you to watch DVD, VCR, and TV programs, and record TV programs.

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.

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.

To record a TV program while watching a DVD, tune the VCR to the channel to record, and select VIDEO 1 on the TV (see “Selecting the antenna input” on page 20).

You will need:

two coaxial cables

two sets of standard A/V cables

one pair of audio cables

one set of component video cables

DVD Player with component video

Note:

For the highest possible picture quality, use component video cables between the TV and DVD player. You can connect the component video cables from the DVD player 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) and Interlaced (480i,1080i) scan systems. A 1080i signal will provide the best picture performance.

If your DVD player does not have component video connections, use the S-video connections (plus the standard audio connections) instead of the ColorStream connections; however, do not connect both S-Video and standard video cables between the TV and DVD player at the same time. See page 9.

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.
