Connecting a DVD player with ColorStream
®
(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 HD1 on the TV (see
“Selecting the antenna input” on page 22).
You will need:
• two coaxial cables
• one set of A/V cables
• one pair of audio cables
• one set of component video cables (one S-video cable for a DVD
player without component video inputs; see notes at right)

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 the component video cables
to either set of the ColorStream jacks on the
TV (HD1 or HD2).
For DVI/HDCP connection, see page 14.
The ColorStream HD1/HD2 and DVI/HDCP
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 DVD player is not compatible with
component video or DVI/HDCP, use the
S-video connections (plus the standard audio
connections) instead (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.
