Connecting A Dtv Receiver/Set-Top Box With Component Video And A Vcr - Toshiba 42H83 Owner's Manual

Connecting a DTV receiver/set-top box with
component video and a VCR
This connection allows you to watch DTV (digital TV), VCR, and
TV programs, and record DTV and TV programs.
Your TV has ColorStream (component video) inputs. Connecting
your TV to a DTV receiver with component video can greatly
enhance picture quality and realism.
– To record and watch a DTV program, select LINE IN on the
VCR, and select ColorStream HD2 (or VIDEO 1 for a non-
ColorStream connection) on the TV (see "Selecting the antenna
input" on page 21).
– To record a TV program while watching a DTV program, tune the
VCR to the channel to record, and select ColorStream HD2 on
the TV.
– To record and watch the same TV program, tune the VCR to the
channel to record, and select VIDEO 1 on the TV.
– To record one TV program while watching another TV program,
tune the VCR to the channel to record, and tune the TV to the
channel to watch.
You will need:
• three coaxial cables
• two sets of standard A/V cables
• one pair of audio cables
• one set of component video cables

Note:
For the highest possible picture quality, use
component video cables (or a DVI-D digital
single-link cable) between the TV and DTV
receiver/set-top box.
You can connect component video cables to
either set of ColorStream jacks on the TV
(HD1 or HD2).
The ColorStream HD1/HD2 and DVI/HDCP
jacks can be used with Progressive (480p,
720p) and Interlaced (480i, 1080i) scan
systems; however, a 1080i signal will provide
the best picture performance.
For DVI/HDCP connection, see page 13.
If your DTV receiver or set-top box is not
compatible with component video or
DVI/HDCP, use the S-video connections
(plus the standard audio connections) instead
(see page 9).
The unauthorized recording, use,
distribution, or revision of television
programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other
materials is prohibited under the
Copyright Laws of the United States and
other countries, and may subject you to
civil and criminal liability.
