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 (
HD1
or
HD2
). The
ColorStream HD1
and
HD2
terminals can be used to display Progressive (480p,
720p, 1080p) and Interlaced (480i, 1080i). Please
check the Owner’s Manual of the DVD player or
satellite in order to determine the best output signal
available (1080p 24Hz/30Hz/50Hz/25Hz are 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 16.
