Connecting your TV
Note: One TheaterLink cable is provided with your TV. No other cables are provided.
Coaxial cable is the cable that comes in from your antenna, cable TV service, or cable converter box. Coaxial cable has “F” connectors.
Standard stereo A/V 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. Your TV’s standard A/V inputs are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.
S-video cable is for use with video equipment that has an S-Video connector.
Component video cables come in sets of three (typically color-coded red, green, and blue), and are for use with video equipment that has component video connectors. Your TV’s ColorStream® (component video) inputs are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.
DVI-D digital single-link cable is for use with video equipment that has a DVI-D digital single-link connector (see page 15).
TheaterLink cable is used to remotely control other A/V equipment (equipped with an infrared sensor) through the TV (see page 16).
NOTE REGARDING PICTURE QUALITY
When connecting video equipment to your Toshiba TV:
For GOOD picture quality: Use a standard stereo A/V (yellow) video cable.
For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has an S-video connector, 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 a 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 connectors, use component video cables instead of a standard yellow video cable or an S-video cable (plus the standard red and white audio cables for full system connection.) If your equipment has a DVI-D digital single-link connector, use a DVI-D cable (plus standard red and white audio cables connected to the audio terminals labeled “For DVI/HDCP IN” for full system connection).
