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 inputs are color-coded in
the same manner as the cables.
S-Video cable is for use with video equipment that has an S-Video input.
Component video cables come in sets of three, and are for use with
video equipment that has component video inputs. (ColorStream
®
is
Toshiba’s brand of component video.)
DVI-D digital single-link cable is for use with video equipment that
has a DVI-D digital single-link connector (see page 13).
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 an S-video
input, 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) inputs, 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, but do not connect
the standard yellow video cable or an S-Video cable at the same time.)
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.

If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to

If you have a VCR with S-video, use an S-
video cable (in the S-video jacks) instead of
the regular video cable.
Do not connect a regular video cable and an
S-video cable to Video 1 (or Video 2) at the
same time, or the picture performance will be
unacceptable.
