Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

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 TUNER 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 20, 21 and 23).

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 22).

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable is for connecting a PC to the TV’s PC IN terminal ( Page 23).

Note: Separate audio cables are required for a complete connection.

About the connection illustrations

You can connect different types and brands of devices to your TV in several different configurations. The connection illustrations in this manual are representative of typical device connections only. The input/output terminals on your devices may differ from those illustrated herein. For details on connecting and using your specific devices, refer to each device’s owner’s manual.

Connecting TV to a power source

Notes:

•Never connect the AC cord plug to other than the specified voltage (120 V, 60 Hz). Use the supplied power cord only.
