You will need:

•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) to VIDEO 2 on the side panel (instead of to VIDEO 1). Do not connect both types of video cable to 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 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-1or HD-2). The ColorStream HD-1and HD-2terminals can be used with Progressive (480p, 720p) and Interlaced (480i, 1080i) scan systems. A 1080i signal will provide the best picture performance (1080p is not supported).

–If your DVD player or satellite receiver does not have component video, connect a standard A/V cable to VIDEO 2 on the side panel. If your DVD player has HDMI video, see page 19.
