Connecting your TV
Note: Cables are not supplied with your TV.
● Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your antenna, cable TV
service, and/or cable converter box to the ANT RF input on your TV.
● Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in sets of three,
and are for use with video devices with standard audio and standard
(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 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
standard (composite) video cable.
● Component video cables come in sets of three and are for use with
video devices with component video output. These cables are typically
color-coded red, green, and blue. (ColorStream
® is Toshiba’s brand of
component video.) 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 is for use with devices with uncompressed HDMI (high-
definition multimedia interface) video/compressed audio output.
HDMI cable delivers digital audio and video in its native format (see
page 15). This cable carries both video and audio information;
therefore, no separate audio cables are needed for a complete connec-
tion.
Note: HDMI cable provides better picture performance than a standard
(composite) video or S-video cable.
