Overview of cable types

NOTE: NEVER CONNECT THIS TV

TO A PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC).

THIS TV IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE WITH A PC.

Note: Two dual-wand IR blaster/G-LINK®cables are included with your TV. All other required cables, if not provided with your other devices, can be purchased at many electronics accessory suppliers.

●Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your antenna, cable TV service, and/or cable converter box to the ANT-1 and/or ANT-2 RF inputs on your TV.

●Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in sets of three, and are for use with video devices with standard audio and standard (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.

●S-video cable is for use with video devices with S-video output. Separate audio cables are required for a complete connection.

Note: An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a composite video cable. If you connect an S-video cable, be sure to disconnect the standard (composite) video cable or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

●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 or S-video cable.

●HDMI cable is for use with devices with HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) output. 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. See page 19 for further details.

Note: HDMI cable provides better picture performance than a standard (composite) video or S-video cable.

●IEEE1394 cable is for use with video devices with compressed digital video output that meet CEA specifications for IEEE1394. This cable carries both video and audio information; therefore, no separate audio cables are required for a complete connection. See pages 22–24.

Note:

•The transmission capability of IEEE1394 cable used with this TV must be S400 (400 Mbps maximum).

•IEEE1394 cable provides better picture performance than a standard (composite) video or S-video cable.

●Dual-wand IR blaster/G-LINK®cable is for use with video devices with IR (infrared) remote control. Two of these cables are included with your TV. One is for connection to the G-LINK®terminal (page 25) to enable TV Guide On Screen® recording features (Chapters 5 and 7). The other can be used with the TV’s IR pass-through feature (page 21) and TheaterNet™ on-screen device control feature (page 45).

Note: The two IR blaster/G-LINK®cables included with your TV have specific characteristics that allow them to work properly with this TV’s IR OUT and G-LINK®ports. Never use other aftermarket IR blaster or G-LINK®cables with this TV. Other cables may not function properly and can cause damage. THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR TOSHIBA WARRANTY.

Optical audio cable

Note: Although your TV includes both HDMI and IEEE1394 connections, it may not operate with another device you have that includes such a connection. For example, the IEEE1394 ports are not intended to operate with current model Mini DV camcorders, and the HDMI input is not intended for connection to a computer. Copyright protection requirements may also prohibit or limit connectivity. See page 19 for details about the HDMI input. See pages 22–24 for details about the IEEE1394 ports.

●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. See page 20.

52HM95, 62HM95 specifications

The Toshiba 62HM95 and 52HM95 are part of Toshiba's renowned line of rear projection televisions that made waves in the mid-2000s for their picture quality and innovative features. These models are particularly noted for their large screen sizes and advanced technology that appealed to home theater enthusiasts.

Starting with the display technology, both models utilize DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology, which provides enhanced brightness levels, deep black levels, and impressive color accuracy compared to traditional CRT televisions. With the 62HM95 boasting a substantial 62-inch screen and the 52HM95 featuring a 52-inch display, both models are designed to offer an immersive viewing experience suitable for larger rooms.

The key feature that sets the Toshiba 62HM95 and 52HM95 apart is the incorporation of Toshiba's advanced imaging technology, including HQV (Hollywood Quality Video) processing. This feature enhances the picture quality by improving image sharpness, and reducing noise in lower quality video sources, ensuring that film and sports experiences are smooth and visually appealing.

Moreover, these models are equipped with 720p high-definition resolution, offering a display resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. This level of HD ensures that viewers can enjoy their favorite movies and shows in sharper detail than standard definition. The utilization of a color wheel in combination with the DLP technology contributes to vibrant color reproduction, making for engaging visuals whether you're watching a blockbuster or a nature documentary.

Connectivity is another strong point of the Toshiba 62HM95 and 52HM95. Both models feature multiple inputs, including HDMI ports, component video inputs, and composite video inputs, making it easy to connect various external devices such as game consoles, DVD players, and set-top boxes. The inclusion of an integrated digital tuner means that users can easily access over-the-air HD broadcasts without needing an additional external box.

In terms of design, the Toshiba models present a sleek and modern aesthetic, with a minimalistic bezel that maximizes the screen view. The use of a rear projection system means they are relatively deep compared to flat-panel TVs, but this is a trade-off for larger screen sizes at a more affordable price point.

Overall, the Toshiba 62HM95 and 52HM95 remain notable options for those looking for effective home entertainment solutions. With features like DLP technology, HQV processing, and strong connectivity options, they provide an excellent foundation for building a satisfying home theater experience. Their combination of screen size, technology enhancements, and user-friendly connections makes them a consideration for anyone seeking to enjoy high-quality content in their living spaces.
