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 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 TV’s 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 (color-coded red, green and blue), and are for use with video equipment with component video outputs. (ColorStream® is Toshiba’s brand

of component video.)

●DVI-D digital single-link cable is for use with video equipment with DVI-D output (see page 13).

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 an S-video input, 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 the 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 (or DVI) inputs, use either component video cables (or a DVI cable) instead of a standard video or S-video cable. (You still must connect the standard red and white audio cables for full system connection, but do not connect the standard yellow video cable or an S-Video cable at the same time.)

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

If you have a VCR with S-video, use an

S-video cable (plus audio cables) instead of the standard video cable for better picture performance.

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.

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.

Its traditional design may appeal to those who prefer the retro aesthetic or those who are fans of CRT technology.

In conclusion, the Toshiba 30HF83 is a notable choice for individuals looking for reliable, solid performance in a CRT television.
