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 (composite video only) and TV
programs.
Your monitor has ColorStream (component video) inputs.
Connecting your monitor to a DTV receiver with component video
inputs can greatly enhance picture quality and realism.
–To watch a DTV program, select ColorStream-2 on the monitor.
–To record and watch the same TV program, tune the VCR to the
channel to record, and select VIDEO 1 on the monitor.
–To record one program while watching another, tune the VCR to
the channel to record, tune the DTV receiver to the channel to
watch, and select ColorStream-2 on the monitor.
You will need:
• two 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 monitor and DTV receiver/set-
top box.
You can connect component video cables to
either set of ColorStream terminals on the
monitor (1 or 2).
For HDMI or DVI connection, see page 15.
The ColorStream-1/-2 and HDMI terminals
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.
