Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Overview of cable types

Coaxial (F-type) cable

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

Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)

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

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 (red/green/blue)

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

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use with devices with an HDMI output. An 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 (- page 19 and page 21).

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

Dual-wand IR blaster cable

Dual-wand IR blaster cable is for use with video devices with IR (infrared) remote control. This cable can be used with the TV’s IR pass-through feature (- page 17).

Optical audio cable

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 (- page 20).

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable is for connecting a PC to the TV’s PC IN terminal (- page 21).

About the connection illustrations
