Connecting your TV

Connecting a DTV receiver/set-top box with ColorStream¨ (component video) and a VCR

This connection allows you to watch DTV (digital TV), VCR, and TV programs, and record DTV (component video) 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.

ÐTo 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 ÒSelecting the video input sourceÓ on page 52).

ÐTo record a TV program while watching a DTV program, tune the VCR to the channel to record, and select ColorStream HD2 on the TV.

ÐTo record and watch the same TV program, tune the VCR to the channel to record, and select VIDEO 1 on the TV.

ÐTo 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 standard audio cables

¥one set of component video cables

Note:

For the highest possible picture quality, use component video cables (or an HDMI cable) between the TV and DTV receiver/set-top box.

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

For HDMI or DVI connection, see page 16.

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

If your DTV receiver or set-top box is not compatible with component video or HDMI, use the S-video connections (plus the standard audio connections) instead (see page 12).

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.
