Overview of cable types
Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell audio/
video devices. Before purchasing any cables, be sure of
connector types required by your devices and the length
of each cable.
Coaxial (F-type) cable
Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your
antenna, cable TV service, and/or cable converter box
to the
ANT/CABLE
input on your TV.
Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)
Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come
in sets of three, and are for use with video devices with
analog audio and composite video output. These cables
(and the related inputs on your TV) are typically color-
coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo
right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio.
Component video cables (red/green/blue)
Component video cables come in sets of three and are
for use with video devices with component video output.
(ColorStream
®
is Toshiba’s brand of component video.)
These cables are typically color-coded red, green, and
blue. Separate audio cables are required for a complete
connection.
Note:
Component video cables provide better
picture performance than a standard (composite)
video.
HDMI
®
cable
(with HDMI Logo “
”)
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable
is for use with devices with an HDMI output. An
HDMI cable delivers digital audio and video in its
native format. This cable carries both video and audio
information; therefore, separate audio cables are not
required for a complete HDMI device connection (
page 16 and page 19).
Note:
HDMI cable provides better picture
performance than a standard (composite) video.
Optical audio cable
Optical audio cable is for connecting receivers with
Dolby Digital or PCM (pulse-code modulation) optical
audio input to the TV’s
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
terminal
(
page 18).
Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable
Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable is for connecting
a PC to the TV’s
PC IN
terminal (
page 18).
Note:
Separate audio cables are required for a
complete connection.
3.5mm Stereo to RCA Y-cable
3.5mm Stereo to RCA Y-Cable is for connecting audio
signals from a DVI device to the TV.
