Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Overview of cable types

Before purchasing cables, know the connector types

your devices require.

You can purchase cables from most stores that sell

audio/video devices.

Coaxial cable (F-type)

(F-type) Connects your antenna, cable TV service, or

cable converter box to your TV.

Standard A/V cables (composite video)

Use with video devices with analog audio and

composite video output. These cables (and the related

inputs on your TV) are often color-coded.

Component video cables

Use with video devices with component video output.

Separate audio cables are required. (ColorStream® is a

Toshiba brand.)

Note: Component video cables provide better picture

quality than composite video cables.

HDMI® cable ( )

Use it with devices built-in HDMI output. An HDMI

cable delivers digital audio and video in its native

format. Separate audio cables are not required

(- p. 16, 19–20).

Note: HDMI cables provide the best audio and picture

quality.

Optical audio cable

Connects receivers with Dolby Digital or PCM (pulse-

code modulation) optical audio input to the TV’s

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal (- p. 18).

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable

Connects a PC to the TV’s PC IN terminal (- p. 20).

Note: Separate audio cables are required.

Standard/Crossover LAN cable

Standard LAN cable is used to connect the TV to your

home network (- p. 21).

Crossover LAN cable is used to connect the TV directly

to a PC (- p. 21).
