Connecting your TV
Connecting a DVD player with
ColorStream® (component video),
a VCR, and a satellite receiver
Your TV has two sets of ColorStream® (component video)
inputs.
You will need:
• signal splitter
• coaxial cables
• standard A/V cables
– For better picture performance, if your VCR has S-video,
use an S-video cable (plus the audio cables) instead of
the standard video cable. Do not connect both types of
video cable to VIDEO 1 at the same time or the picture
performance will be unacceptable.
– If you have a mono VCR, connect L/MONO on the TV to
your VCR’s audio out terminal using the white audio cable
only.
• standard audio cables
• component video cables
– You can connect the component video cables (plus audio
cables) from the DVD player or satellite receiver to either
set of ColorStream terminals on the TV (HD-1 or HD-2).
The ColorStream HD-1 and HD-2 terminals can be used
with Progressive (480p, 720p) and Interlaced (480i, 1080i)
scan systems. A 1080i signal will provide the best picture
performance.
– If your DVD player or satellite receiver does not have
component video, connect a standard A/V cable to
VIDEO2 on the side panel. If your DVD player has HDMI
video, see page 13.
Note: The VIDEO/AUDIO OUT terminals output signals from
the ANT 1, ANT 2, VIDEO 1, and VIDEO 2 terminals when the
appropriate input mode is selected.*
To view antenna or Cable channels:
Select the ANT 1 video input source on the TV.*
To view the DVD player:
Turn ON the DVD player. Select the ColorStream HD-1
video input source on the TV.*
To view satellite programs using the component video
connections or to record satellite programs:
Turn on all three devices. Set the VCR to the appropriate line
input (refer to your VCR owner’s manual for details). Select
the ColorStream HD-2 video input source on the TV.*
To view the VCR or view and record antenna
channels:
Turn ON the VCR. Tune the VCR to the channel you want to
watch. Select the VIDEO 1 video input source on the TV.*
Note: For model 42HL196, see illustration on page 21.
