Introduction Connecting your TV Using the Remote Control 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 DTV receiver with component video can greatly enhance picture quality and realism. You will need: • three coaxial cables (one or more may be provided by your cable company) • three pairs of audio cables (two single and one pair of audio cables for a mono VCR) • two video cables • one set of component video cables (one S-video cable for a noncomponent video DTV receiver; see notes at right) Note: For the highest possible picture quality, use component video cables between the TV and DTV receiver. You can connect the component video 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 component video compatible, use the S-video connections (plus the standard audio connections) instead of the ColorStream connections. Do not connect an S-Video cable and component video cable between the TV and DTV receiver at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.
