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 21).

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 (or a DVI-D digital single-link cable) between the TV and DTV receiver/set-top box.

You can connect component video cables to either set of ColorStream jacks on the TV (HD1 or HD2).

The ColorStream HD1/HD2 and DVI/HDCP jacks can be used with Progressive (480p, 720p) and Interlaced (480i, 1080i) scan systems; however, a 1080i signal will provide the best picture performance.

For DVI/HDCP connection, see page 13.

If your DTV receiver or set-top box is not compatible with component video or DVI/HDCP, use the S-video connections (plus the standard audio connections) instead (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.
