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 24).
–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
• two sets of standard 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 (or an HDMI cable)
between the TV and DTV receiver/set-top
box.
You can connect the component video cables
to either set of ColorStream jacks on the TV
(HD1 or HD2).
For HDMI or DVI connection, see page 15.
The ColorStream HD1/HD2 and HDMI jacks
can be used with Progressive (480p, 720p)
and Interlaced (480i, 1080i) scan systems;
however, a 1080i signal will provide the best
picture performance.
If your DTV receiver or set-top box is not
compatible with component video, HDMI, or
DVI, use the S-video connections (plus the
standard audio connections) instead (see
page 11).
The unauthorized recording, use,
distribution, or revision of television
programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other
materials is prohibited under Copyright
Law and may subject you to civil and
criminal liability.
