Chapter 2: Connecting your TV Overview of cable types Before purchasing cables, know the connector types your devices require. You can purchase cables from most stores that sell audio/video devices. Coaxial cable (F-type) Optical audio cable Connects receivers with Dolby Digital or PCM (pulsecode modulation) optical audio input to the TV's DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal (- p. 18). Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable (F-type) Connects your antenna, cable TV service, or cable converter box to your TV. R AUDIO L Standard A/V cables (composite video) Red White Yellow Use with video devices with analog audio and composite video output. These cables (and the related inputs on your TV) are often color-coded. VIDEO PR PB Y Component video cables Red Blue Green Use with video devices with component video output. Separate audio cables are required. (ColorStream® is a Toshiba brand.) Note: Component video cables provide better picture quality than composite video cables. HDMI® cable ( ) Connects a PC to the TV's PC IN terminal (- p. 20). Note: Separate audio cables are required. Standard/Crossover LAN cable Standard LAN cable is used to connect the TV to your home network (- p. 21). Crossover LAN cable is used to connect the TV directly to a PC (- p. 21). About the illustrations Note: The connection illustrations shown are representative of typical device connections only. The input/output terminals on your devices may differ. See each device's owner's manual. Use with devices with an HDMI output. An HDMI cable delivers digital audio and video in its native format. Separate audio cables are not required (- p. 16, 19-20). Note: HDMI cables provide the best audio and picture quality. 14
