Connecting
your TV
Connecting a DVD player with
ColorStream
®
(component video)
and a VCR
This connection allows you to watch DVD, VCR,
or TV programs, and record TV programs. You can
record one TV program while watching another TV
program.
Your TV has ColorStream
®
(component video)
connections. Connecting your TV to a component
video compatible DVD player (such as a Toshiba
DVD player with ColorStream
®
) can greatly enhance
picture quality and performance.
You will need:
• two coaxial cables (one or more may be supplied
by cable company)
• three pairs of audio cables (one pair and two
single audio cables for a mono VCR)
• two standard video cables
• one set of component video cables
Note:
For the best picture performance, use component video cables
between the TV and DVD player. See “Note Regarding Picture
Quality” on page 7.
Note:
If you have S-VHS VCRs, use S-video cables
instead of standard video cables. Do not
connect a standard video cable and an
S-video cable to VIDEO 1 (or VIDEO 2) at the
same time, or the picture performance will be
unacceptable.
Do not connect the same VCR to the output
and input connections on the TV at the same
time.
To record (dub/edit) from VCR 1 to VCR 2,
the TV must select VIDEO 1, and VCR 2 must
select LINE IN.
