Introduction Connecting your TV Using the Remote Control 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 14). 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.)
