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.

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.
