Coaxial (F-type) cable

Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)

S-video cable

HDMI cable

Dual-wand IR blaster/ G-LINK

cable

(2 included)

Note: Two dual-wand IR blaster/G-LINK

cables are included with your TV. All other required

cables, if not provided with your other devices, can be purchased at many electronics accessory
suppliers.

●

Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your antenna, cable TV service, and/or
cable converter box to the ANT-1 and/or ANT-2 RF inputs on your TV.

●

Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in sets of three, and are for use
with video devices with analog audio and composite video output. These cables (and
the related inputs on your TV) are typically color-coded according to use: yellow for
video, red for stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio.

●

S-video cable is for use with video devices with S-video output. Separate audio cables
are required for a complete connection.

Note: An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a composite video cable. If
you connect an S-video cable, be sure to disconnect the standard (composite) video cable or
the picture performance will be unacceptable.

●

Component video cables come in sets of three and are for use with video devices with
component video output. (ColorStream

is Toshiba’s brand of component video.)

These cables are typically color-coded red, green, and blue. Separate audio cables are
required for a complete connection.

Note: Component video cables provide better picture performance than a standard (composite)
video or S-video cable.

●

HDMI cable is for use with devices with HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface) output. HDMI cable delivers digital audio and video in its native format.
This cable carries both video and audio information; therefore, separate audio cables are
not required for a complete HDMI device connection. See page 21 for further details.

Note: HDMI cable provides better picture performance than a standard (composite) video or
S-video cable.

●

IEEE1394 cable is for use with video devices with compressed digital video output
that meet CEA specifications for IEEE1394. This cable carries both video and audio
information; therefore, no separate audio cables are required for a complete connection.
See pages 25–27.

Note:

• The transmission capability of any IEEE1394 cable used with this TV must be S400

(400 Mbps maximum).

• IEEE1394 cable provides better picture performance than a standard (composite)

video or S-video cable.

●

Dual-wand IR blaster/G-LINK

cable is for use with video devices with IR (infrared)

remote control. Two of these cables are included with your TV. One is for connection
to the G-LINK

terminal (page 28) to enable TV Guide On Screen

recording features

(Chapters 5 and 7). The other can be used with the TV’s IR pass-through feature (page
22) and TheaterNet

™

on-screen device control feature (page 50).

Note: The two IR blaster/G-LINK

cables included with your TV have specific characteristics that

allow them to work properly with this TV’s IR OUT and G-LINK

terminals. Never use other

aftermarket IR blaster or G-LINK

cables with this TV. Other cables may not function

properly and can cause damage. THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR
TOSHIBA WARRANTY.

●

Optical audio cable is for connecting receivers with Dolby Digital or PCM
(pulse-code modulation) optical audio input to the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
terminal. See page 24.

●

Ethernet (RJ-45) cable is used to connect the TV to your home network. See page 30
and Chapter 11.

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Note: Although your TV includes both HDMI
and IEEE1394 connections, it may not
operate with another device you have that
includes such a connection. For example, the
IEEE1394 ports are not intended to operate
with current model Mini DV camcorders, and
the HDMI input is not intended for
connection to a computer. Copyright
protection requirements may also prohibit or
limit connectivity. See page 21 for details
about the HDMI input. See pages 25–27 for
details about the IEEE1394 ports.
