Connecting a DTV receiver/set-top box
and a VCR
This connection allows you to watch DTV (digital TV broadcast),
VCR, and TV programs, and record DTV and TV programs. You can
record from one source while watching a program from another
source.
Your TV has ColorStream
®
(component video) inputs. Connecting
your TV to a component video compatible DTV receiver can greatly
enhance picture quality and realism.
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
non-component video DTV receiver; 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 video 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) or interlaced (480i,1080i) scan
systems.
If your DTV receiver is not component video
compatible, use the S-video connections
(both audio and video) instead of the
ColorStream connections. Do not connect
an S-video cable
and component
video cables between the TV and DTV
receiver at the same time. Doing so will
cause unacceptable picture performance.
To record, set the VCR to Line IN. To monitor
recording, set the VCR to Line IN and the TV
to Video-1.
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.
