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.
Your TV has ColorStream
®
(component video) inputs. Connecting
your TV to a DVD player with component video inputs (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 21).
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 single-
link cable) between the TV and DVD player.
You can connect component video cables to
either set of ColorStream jacks on the TV
(HD-1 or HD-2).
The ColorStream HD-1 and HD-2 jacks can
be used with Progressive (480p, 720p) and
Interlaced (480i,1080i) scan systems. A 1080i
signal will provide the best picture
performance.
If your DVD player does not have component
video (or DVI/HDCP,) use the S-video
connections plus the standard audio
connections instead. Do not connect both
S-Video and standard video cables to VIDEO
1 (or VIDEO2) at the same time or the
picture performance will be unacceptable.
See page 9.
For DVI/HDCP connection, see page 13.
The unauthorized recording, use,
distribution, or revision of television
programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other

Copyright Laws of the United States and
