Note:

For the highest possible picture quality, use component video cables (or an HDMI cable) between the TV and DVD player.

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

For HDMI or DVI connection, see page 15.

The ColorStream HD1/HD2 and HDMI jacks 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 DVD player is not compatible with component video, HDMI, or DVI, use the S-video connections (plus the standard audio connections) instead (see page 11).

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.
