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 inputs 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 20).
–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:
• 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 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 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) and Interlace
(480i,1080i) scan systems.
If your DTV receiver does not have
component video inputs, use the S-video and
standard audio connections instead of the
ColorStream connections. Do
not connect
both an S-video and a standard video cable
between the TV and DTV receiver at the
same time.
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.
