Chapter 2: Connecting your TV
Copyright © 2005 TOSHIBA CORPORATION. All rights reserved.
You will need:
one signal splitter
five coaxial cables
two sets 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 terminal using the white audio cable only.
• When you use a Cable box, you may not be able to use the remote
control to program or access certain features on the TV.
To view basic Cable channels and use the TV’s features:
Select the ANT 1 video input source on the TV.* Use the
TV controls (front panel or remote control) to change
channels and access the TV’s features.
To view basic and premium Cable channels:
Turn OFF the VCR. Select the ANT 2 video input source
on the TV.* Tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever
channel the Cable box output is set to). Use the Cable box
controls to change channels.
To view the VCR:
Turn ON the VCR. Select the VIDEO 1 video input source
on the TV.*
Note: A VIDEO 1 connection with an S-Video cable (instead
of a standard video cable) will provide better picture
performance (as mentioned in the first bulleted item at the
top of this page).

* To select the video input source, press INPUT on the remote control
(see page 67). To program the TV remote control to operate other
