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:

An HDMI cable provides the best audio

and picture performance.

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

RGB/PC IN

terminal (

page 19).

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 signal from DVI device to TV.
