You will need:
•
coaxial cables
•
standard A/V cables
– For better picture performance, if your VCR has S-video,
use an S-video cable (plus the audio cables) instead of
the standard video cable. Do not connect both types of
video cable to
VIDEO 1
at the same time or the picture
performance will be unacceptable.
– If you have a mono VCR, connect
L/MONO
on the TV to
your VCR’s audio out terminal using the white audio cable
only.
•
standard audio cables
•
component video cables
– You can connect the component video cables (plus audio
cables) from the DVD player or satellite receiver to either
set of
ColorStream
terminals on the TV (
HD-1
or
HD-2
).
The
ColorStream HD-1
and
HD-2
terminals can be used
with Progressive (480p, 720p) and Interlaced (480i, 1080i)
scan systems. A 1080i signal will provide the best picture
performance (1080p is not supported).
– If your DVD player or satellite receiver does not have
component video, connect a standard A/V cable to
VIDEO 2
on the side panel. If your DVD player has HDMI
video, see page 20.
