Connecting your TV

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 accord- ing 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 than standard video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video compatible components.

Component video cables provide better picture performance than S-video cables. Component video cables can only be used with component video compatible components.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use with video equipment that has HDMI output (see page 14).

Launched in an era that marked the transition from traditional tube TVs to the burgeoning flat-screen technology, the 34HF85 offers a blend of classic design and modern capabilities.

This technology delivers deep blacks and a wide contrast ratio, ensuring that viewers can appreciate even the most intricate details in dark scenes. The television also features a 16:9 aspect ratio, making it ideal for widescreen content, which has become increasingly dominant in the media landscape.

This versatility makes it convenient for users who wish to integrate multiple entertainment systems.

Additionally, the Toshiba 34HF85 offers features such as a digital comb filter, which reduces image artifacts and enhances the quality of standard-definition content. This is especially beneficial for viewers still reliant on cable or older video formats. The television's channel programming and user-friendly menus add to the overall convenience, allowing for an enjoyable user experience.

Despite being a model that reflects its era of release, the Toshiba 34HF85 has garnered interest from those who appreciate vintage technology and high-quality images.
