Selecting video cables
To connect a device to the video-out port, you’ll need to
purchase a composite video cable. For the best video quality,
always use a properly shielded cable.
HINT: Toshiba recommends using a cable no longer than
20 feet (approximately six meters).
Using a poor quality cable may result in a dull or fuzzy
picture, poor color, ghosting, video noise, or loss of video.
Connecting to the video-out (composite) port
Video cables are not included with your computer. To connect
a device to the video-out port, you’ll need to purchase a
composite video cable.
To connect the device:
1
Connect one end of the video cable to the external video
device.
Refer to the documentation provided with the device for the
location of its video-in port.
