Connecting your TV Connecting your TV Note: All required cables, if not provided with your other devices, can be purchased at many electronics accessory suppliers. • Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your antenna, cable TV service, and/or cable converter box to the ANT 75 Ω RF input on your TV. • Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in sets of three, and are for use with video devices with standard audio and standard (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. • S-video cable is for use with video devices with S-video output. Separate audio cables are required for a complete connection. Note: An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a standard (composite) video cable. • Component video cables come in sets of three and are for use with video devices with component video output. These cables are typically color-coded red, green, and blue. (ColorStream® is Toshiba's brand of component video.) Separate audio cables are required for a complete connection. Note: Component video cables provide better picture performance than a standard (composite) video or S-video cable. • HDMI cable is for use with devices with uncompressed HDMI (high- definition multimedia interface) video and compressed audio output. HDMI cable delivers digital audio and video in its native format (see page 15). This cable carries both video and audio information; therefore, separate audio cables are not required for a complete connection. Note: HDMI cable provides better picture performance than a standard (composite) video or S-video cable. • Mini D-sub 15-pin cable is for use with a personal computer with an analog RGB (15-pin) output. A separate audio cable is required for a complete connection. Connecting an antenna or cable TV This connection allows you to watch TV programs or basic cable channels.
