Connecting a DTV receiver/set-top box with
component video and a VCR
This connection allows you to watch DTV (digital TV broadcast),
VCR, and TV programs, and record DTV and TV programs. You can
record from one source while watching a program from another
source.
Your TV has ColorStream (component video) inputs. Connecting
your TV to a component video-compatible DTV receiver can greatly
enhance picture quality and realism.
You will need:
• one coaxial cable
• three pairs of audio cables (two single and one pair of audio
cables for a mono VCR)
• two video cables
• one set of ColorStream (component video) cables (one S-video
cable for a non-ColorStream DTV receiver; see notes at right)

Note:
For the highest possible picture quality, use
ColorStream (component video) cables
between the TV and DTV receiver. You can
connect the ColorStream cables from the
DTV receiver to either ColorStream jack on
the TV (HD1 or HD2).
The ColorStream HD1 and HD2 jacks can be
used with Progressive (480p) and Interlace
(480i,1080i) scan systems.
If your DTV receiver is not ColorStream-
compatible, use the S-video connections
(both audio and video) instead of the
ColorStream connections. Do not connect
both S-video and ColorStream cables
between the TV and DTV receiver at the same
time.
To record from the DTV receiver, set the VCR
to Line IN. To monitor recording from the DTV
receiver, set the VCR to Line IN, and set the
TV to Video-1.
Caution:
The unauthorized recording of television
programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other
materials may infringe upon the provisions of
copyright laws.
