Connecting a DTV receiver/set-top box with
ColorStream
®
(component video) and a VCR
This connection allows you to watch DTV (digital TV), VCR, and
TV programs, and record DTV and TV programs.
Your TV has ColorStream (component video) inputs. Connecting
your TV to a DTV receiver with component video can greatly
enhance picture quality and realism.
–To record and watch a DTV program, select LINE IN on the
VCR, and select ColorStream HD2 (or VIDEO 1 for a non-
ColorStream connection) on the TV (see “Selecting the antenna
input” on page 21).
–To record a TV program while watching a DTV program, tune the
VCR to the channel to record, and select ColorStream HD2 on
the TV.
–To record and watch the same TV program, tune the VCR to the
channel to record, and select VIDEO 1 on the TV.
–To record one TV program while watching another TV program,
tune the VCR to the channel to record, and tune the TV to the
channel to watch.
You will need:
• three coaxial cables (one or more may be provided by your
satellite company)
• two sets of A/V cables
• one pair of audio cables
• one set of component video cables (one S-video cable for a DTV
receiver without component video; 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, 720p) and
Interlace (480i,1080i) scan systems.
If your DTV receiver does not have
component video, use an S-video cable
(and standard audio cables) instead of the
ColorStream connections (see page 10).
To monitor recording, set 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.
