Connecting your TV

If you haven’t connected electronic equipment before, or you have been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section. (Cables are not supplied.)

A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your

 

 

antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.

 

Standard A/V (audio/video) cables are usually color coded

 

 

according to use: yellow for video and red and white for audio. The

 

 

red audio cable is for the stereo right channel, and the white audio

 

 

cable is for the stereo left (or mono) channel. If you look at the rear

 

 

panel of the TV, you will see that the terminals are color coded in

 

 

the same manner as the cables.

 

S-video cables provide better picture performance. S-video cables

 

 

can only be used with S-video compatible components.

Caution:

Component video cables come in sets of three and provide the best

 

picture performance. Component video cables can only be used

Do not plug the TV in until you have finished

 

with component video compatible components.

27A14 specifications

The Toshiba 27A14 is a classic model that represents the transition period in television technology, combining traditional CRT (cathode ray tube) design with some early advancements in viewing and sound quality. Released in the early 2000s, the 27A14 is a 27-inch television that appeals to those who appreciate the solid, reliable performance commonly associated with CRT televisions.

One of the main features of the Toshiba 27A14 is its 27-inch screen size, which provides a generous viewing area, making it suitable for various room sizes. The television boasts a resolution of 480i, which was standard at the time, ensuring that viewers can enjoy clear images for their favorite shows and movies. With a 4:3 aspect ratio, it is particularly compatible with old-school programming and VHS tapes, offering an authentic viewing experience for classic content.

The Toshiba 27A14 incorporates Dynamic Picture Control technology, which enhances color accuracy and contrast. This technology adjusts the brightness dynamically, resulting in more vibrant colors and deeper blacks, significantly improving the overall quality of visual output. The direct-view CRT display reflects Toshiba's commitment to delivering solid picture quality, making it an ideal choice for watching movies, sports, and TV shows.

Another significant characteristic of the Toshiba 27A14 is its audio system. The built-in speakers deliver a power output of around 20 watts, which is respectable for a television of this era. The sound quality is enhanced by the inclusion of stereo audio output, ensuring clearer and more immersive audio regardless of what the viewer is watching.

The Toshiba 27A14 also emphasizes connectivity, featuring multiple inputs including composite video, RF input, and audio outputs. This allows users to connect a variety of devices such as VHS players, game consoles, and DVD players, maintaining versatility in its usage.

In summary, the Toshiba 27A14 stands out as a reliable CRT television with a solid combination of features, including Dynamic Picture Control, a good-sized screen, and reasonable audio output. While it may not compete with later flat-panel technologies in terms of slim design and high-definition picture quality, it remains a nostalgic choice for those yearning for the simplicity and straightforward performance of traditional televisions.
