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 stereo A/V 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. Your TV’s
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 S-Video connectors.
●
Component video cables
come in sets of three (typically color-coded
red, green, and blue), and are for use with video equipment that has
component video connectors. Your TV’s ColorStream
®
(component
video) inputs are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.
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
connectors, 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 a 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
connectors, use component video cables
instead of
a standard yellow
video cable 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 or more may be provided by your cable
company)
• one set of standard A/V cables
