Connecting A Dtv Receiver/Set-Top Box With Component Video And A Vcr - Toshiba 51HX83 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 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 HD-2 on the TV (see "Selecting the
antenna input" on page 27).
– To record a TV program while watching a DTV program, tune the
VCR to the channel to record, and select ColorStream HD-2 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
(HD-1 or HD-2).
The ColorStream HD-1 and HD-2 jacks can
be used with Progressive (480p) and
Interlaced (480i,1080i) scan systems. A 1080i
signal will provide the best picture
performance.
For DVI/HDCP connection, see page 14.
If your DTV receiver or set-top box is not
compatible with component video (or DVI/
HDCP), use the S-video connection (plus the
standard audio connections) instead.
Do not connect both S-Video and standard
video cables to VIDEO 1 (or VIDEO 2) at the
same time or the picture performance will be
unacceptable.
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.
