Connecting your TV
Note: Cables are not supplied with your TV.
● Coaxial cable is the cable that comes in from your antenna, cable TV
service, or cable converter box. Coaxial cable uses “F” connectors.
● Standard A/V (audio/video) cables usually come in sets of three, and
are typically color-coded according to use: yellow for video, red for
stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio.
On your TV’s back panel, the standard A/V connectors are
color-coded in the same manner as the cables.
● S-Video cable is for use with video equipment with S-Video.
● Component video cables come in sets of three, and are for use with
video equipment that has component video. (ColorStream
® is
Toshiba’s brand of component video.)
● DVI-D digital double-link cable is for use with video equipment that
has a DVI-D digital double-link connector (see page 15).
NOTE REGARDING PICTURE QUALITY
When connecting video equipment to your Toshiba TV:
● For GOOD picture quality: Use a standard yellow video cable.
● For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has S-video, use
an S-video cable instead of a standard yellow video cable. (You still
must connect the standard red and white audio cables for full
system connection, but do not connect the standard yellow video cable
at the same time, or the picture performance will be unacceptable.)
● For BEST picture quality: If your equipment has component
video (or DVI), use either component video cables (or a DVI cable)
instead of a standard video or S-video cable. (You still must
connect the standard red and white audio cables for full system
connection.
Connecting a VCR
This connection allows you to watch local channels and video
programs, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and record
from one channel while watching another channel.
You will need:
• two coaxial cables
• one set of standard A/V cables
