• ColorStream Pro® Component Video Output
  ColorStream Pro® progressive scan provides a non-interlaced component video DVD/TV connection that allows DVD-Video to reach its maximum picture quality potential. Every DVD-Video disc is mastered in MPEG-2 progressive scan (480P). By preserving DVD's progressive scan image, the ColorStream PRO connection provides a new dimension in total picture quality, delivering a more film-like, three-dimensional image. The progressive scan image is flicker-free, with virtually no visible NTSC line structure or motion artifacts, and offers better resolution than standard interlaced images.
  
  • Benefit: These outputs allow the video signal to be sent from the DVD player to a component video equipped interlaced or progressive scan TV. When this connection is utilized with today's HD-compatible sets, typical NTSC artifacts-like video noise, dot crawl, and flicker-are virtually eliminated, resulting in a low-noise, highly detailed picture with unequaled color purity.
• Coaxial Digital Audio Output
• Front Panel A/V Inputs
  Front A/V Inputs, found on all TV/ VCRs in Toshiba‘s 2000 lineup, are "camcorder friendly" components designed for transferring and editing film, putting home movies onto VHS tape, and plugging in a satellite receiver or a video game player. This provides maximum versatility and convenience, allowing you to plug in without moving the unit away from the wall.
  
  • Benefit: For easy connection of video games or a camcorder.
