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 ÒFÓ connectors.

Standard A/V (audio/video) 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. On your TVÕs back panel, the standard A/V inputs are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.

S-Video cable is for use with video equipment with S-Video output.

Component video cables come in sets of three, and are for use with video equipment with component video output. (ColorStream¨ is ToshibaÕs brand of component video.)

HDMI is for use with video equipment with HDMI output (type A connectors) (see page 15).
