•one pair of audio cables

•one set of component video cables

Note:

For the highest possible picture quality, use component video cables (or a DVI-D single- link cable) between the TV and DVD player. You can connect component video cables to either set of ColorStream jacks on the TV (HD-1 or HD-2).

The ColorStream HD-1 and HD-2 jacks can be used with Progressive (480p, 720p) and Interlaced (480i,1080i) scan systems. A 1080i signal will provide the best picture performance.

If your DVD player does not have component video (or DVI/HDCP,) use the S-video connections plus the standard audio connections instead. Do not connect both

S-Video and standard video cables to VIDEO 1 (or VIDEO2) at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable. See page 9.

For DVI/HDCP connection, see page 13.

The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.

30HF83 specifications

The Toshiba 30HF83 is a versatile television model that appeals to viewers seeking quality performance and reliable technology in a compact size. Launched during a time when CRT televisions were phasing out, the 30HF83 blends traditional CRT characteristics with innovative features tailored for enhanced viewing experiences.

One of the standout features of the Toshiba 30HF83 is its 30-inch screen, which offers a comfortable viewing size for small to medium rooms. The television utilizes Toshiba's renowned Aqua tuning system that helps set outstanding image clarity and sharpness. The CRT display delivers vibrant colors and deep blacks, ensuring an enjoyable viewing experience whether you are watching a movie or a daily show.

Additionally, the 30HF83 boasts a 16x9 aspect ratio, allowing for a more cinematic viewing experience. This aspect ratio supports both widescreen content and standard programming, providing flexibility for various types of media. The television also comes equipped with multiple input options, including composite, S-video, and RF connectivity. This versatility allows users to connect external devices such as DVD players, gaming consoles, and VCRs, catering to a variety of entertainment preferences.

In terms of sound performance, the Toshiba 30HF83 integrates a built-in audio system designed to complement its visual capabilities. The TV features stereo sound, which enhances the overall viewing experience by delivering clear audio alongside superior video performance.

One key characteristic of the 30HF83 is its solid build quality and durability, a hallmark of Toshiba products.
