Connecting a DVD player with component
video and a VCR
This connection allows you to watch DVD, VCR, and TV programs,
and record TV programs. You can record one channel while watching
another channel.
Your TV has ColorStream
®
(component video) inputs. Connecting a
DVD player with component video outputs (such as a Toshiba DVD
player with ColorStream
®
) can greatly enhance picture quality and
realism.
–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.
–To record a TV program while watching a DVD, tune the VCR to
the channel to record and select ColorStream HD-1 on the TV (see
“Selecting the antenna input” on page 27).
You will need:
• two coaxial cables
• one set of standard A/V cables
• one pair of audio cables
• one set of component video cables

Note:
For the highest possible picture quality, use
component video cables (or a DVI-D digital
single-link cable) between the TV and DVD
player.
You can connect component video cables
from the DVD player to either ColorStream
jack on the TV (HD-1 or HD-2).
The ColorStream HD-1 and HD-2 jacks can
be used with Progressive (480p) and
Interlaced (480i,1080i) scan systems. A 1080i
signal will provide the best picture
performance.
If your DVD player is not compatible with
component video (or DVI/HDCP), use an
S-video cable (plus the standard audio
cables) instead.
Do not connect both S-Video and standard
video cables to VIDEO 1 (or VIDEO 2) at the
same time or the picture performance will be
unacceptable. See page 10.
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.
