Important Safeguards Welcome to Toshiba Connecting your TV Using the Remote Control Connecting your TV • A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use "F" connectors. • Standard A/V (audio/video) cables are usually color coded according to use: yellow for video and red and white for audio. The red audio cable is for the stereo right channel, and the white audio cable is for the stereo left (or mono) channel. If you look at the rear panel of the TV, you will see that the terminals are color coded in the same manner as the cables. • An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a standard video cable. S-video cables can only be used with S-video compatible components. • Component video cables come in sets of three and provide the best picture performance. Component video cables can only be used with component video compatible components. ANTENNA Coaxial Cable S-Video Cable NOTICE: RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE!
