Chapter 2: Connecting your TV Connecting a DVD player with component video and a VCR Your TV has ColorStream® (component video) inputs. Connecting a DVD player with component video output (such as a Toshiba DVD player with ColorStream®) can greatly enhance picture quality. You will need: two coaxial cables two sets of 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. However, do not connect both types of video cable to VIDEO 1 (or VIDEO 2) at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable. • If you have a mono VCR, connect L/MONO on the TV (VIDEO 1) to your VCR's audio out jack using the white audio cable only. one pair of standard audio cables one set of component video cables • You can connect the component video cables (plus audio cables) from the DVD player to either set of ColorStream jacks on the TV (HD-1 or HD-2). The ColorStream HD-1 and HD-2 jacks can be used with Progressive (480p, 720p) and Interlaced (480i, 1080i) scan systems. A 1080i signal will provide the best picture performance. • If your DVD player does not have component video, see page 15. If your DVD player has DVI/HDCP video, see page 18.
