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 can greatly enhance picture quality and realism.

–To record and watch a DTV program, select LINE IN on the VCR, and select ColorStream HD2 (or VIDEO 1 for a non- ColorStream connection) on the TV (see “Selecting the antenna input” on page 20).

–To record a TV program while watching a DTV program, tune the VCR to the channel to record, and select ColorStream HD2 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

DTV Receiver with component video

Note:

For the highest possible picture quality, use component video cables between the TV and DTV receiver. You can connect the component video cables from the DTV receiver 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 DTV receiver does not have component video connections, use the S-video connections (plus the standard audio connections) instead of the ColorStream connections. Do not connect both an S-video and a standard video cable between the TV and DTV receiver at the same time. Also 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.
