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 and TV programs.

Your TV has ColorStream (component video) inputs. Connecting your TV to a DTV receiver with component video inputs 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:

•one coaxial cable

•three pairs of audio cables (two single and one pair of audio cables for a mono VCR)

•two video cables

•one set of component video cables (one S-video cable for a DTV receiver without component video; see notes at right)

Note:

For the highest possible picture quality, use component video cables between the TV and DTV receiver. You can connect the component cables from the DTV receiver to either ColorStream jack on the TV (HD1 or HD2).

The ColorStream HD1 and HD2 jacks can be used with Progressive (480p) and Interlace (480i,1080i) scan systems.

If your DTV receiver does not have component video inputs, use the S-video and 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.

To monitor recording, set the TV to VIDEO 1.
