Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting a DVD player with component video and a VCR

Your TV has ColorStream® (component video) inputs. Connecting a DVD player with component video output (such as a Toshiba DVD player with ColorStream®) can greatly enhance picture quality.

You will need:

￿ two coaxial cables

￿ two sets of 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. However, do not connect both types of video cable to

VIDEO 1 (or VIDEO 2) at the same time or the picture

performance will be unacceptable.

• If you have a mono VCR, connect L/MONO on the TV (VIDEO 1)

to your VCR’s audio out jack using the white audio cable only.

￿ one pair of standard audio cables
￿ one set of component video cables

• You can connect the component video cables (plus audio

cables) from the DVD player 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, 720p) and

Interlaced (480i, 1080i) scan systems. A 1080i signal will

provide the best picture performance.

• If your DVD player does not have component video, see

page 15. If your DVD player has DVI/HDCP video, see

page 18.

￿ To view antenna or Cable channels:

Turn OFF the VCR. Select the ANT 1 video input

source on the TV.*

Connect the G-LINK cable to the G-LINK jack (see page 25)
