Connecting your TV, Overview of cable types

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 17, 18 and page 20).

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 19).

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 20).

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.
