Connecting your TV

Note: Cables are not supplied with your TV.

￿Coaxial cable is the cable that comes in from your antenna, cable TV service, or cable converter box. Coaxial cable uses “F” connectors.

￿Standard stereo A/V cables usually come in sets of three, and are typically color-coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio. Your TV’s standard A/V inputs are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.

￿S-Video cable is for use with video equipment that has S-Video connectors.

￿Component video cables come in sets of three (typically color-coded red, green, and blue), and are for use with video equipment that has component video connectors. Your TV’s ColorStream® (component video) inputs are color- coded in the same manner as the cables.

NOTE REGARDING PICTURE QUALITY

When connecting video equipment to your Toshiba TV:

￿For GOOD picture quality: Use a standard yellow video cable.

￿For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has S-video connectors, use an S-video cable instead of a standard yellow video cable. (You still must connect the standard red and white audio cables for full system connection, but do not connect a standard yellow video cable at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.)

￿For BEST picture quality: If your equipment has component video connectors, use component video cables instead of a standard yellow video cable or S-video cable. (You still must connect the standard red and white audio cables for full system connection.)

Connecting a VCR

This connection allows you to watch local channels and video programs, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and record from one channel while watching another channel.

You will need:

•two coaxial cables (one or more may be provided by your cable company)

•one pair of audio cables (one single audio cable for a mono VCR)

•one video cable (one S-video cable for an S-VHS VCR)

CAUTION: Do not plug in any power cords until you have finished connecting all equipment.

Note:

If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.

If you have an S-VHS VCR, use an S-video cable (in the S-video jacks) instead of the standard video cable.

Do not connect a standard video cable and an S-video cable to Video-1 (or Video-2) at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.
