Connecting A Vcr And Cable Box - Toshiba 51H93 Owner's Manual

Connecting a VCR and Cable box

You will need:
one Cable signal splitter
five coaxial cables
one set of standard A/V cables
• For better picture performance from your VCR: If your VCR has
S-video, connect an S-video cable (plus the audio cables) instead
of the standard video cable. Do not connect an S-video cable and a
standard 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 to your
VCR's audio out jack using the white audio cable only.
• For better picture performance from your Cable box: If your Cable
box has component video, you can connect component video
cables (plus the audio cables) instead of the standard video cable
from the Cable box to the ColorStream HD1 inputs on the TV. You
would then select ColorStream HD1 as the video input source. *
