Connecting your TV
Note: Cables are not supplied with your TV.
Coaxial cable is the cable that comes in from your antenna, cable TV service, or cable converter box. Coaxial cable uses “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 S-Video connectors.
Component video cables come in sets of three (typically color-coded green, blue, and red), and are for use with video equipment that has component video connectors. Your TV’s
ColorStream ® (component video) inputs are color-coded yellow, blue, and red. Plug the green component video cable into the yellow VIDEO-2 input (see “Back of TV” on page 6).
NOTE REGARDING PICTURE QUALITY
When connecting video equipment to your Toshiba TV:
For GOOD picture quality: Use a standard yellow video cable.
For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has S-video connectors, 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 S-video cable. You still must connect the standard red and white audio cables for full system connection.

Connecting a VCR
With this connection you can:
• watch local TV channels and videotapes
• record one channel while watching the same or another channel
You will need:
• two coaxial cables
• one set of standard A/V cables (If your VCR has
S-video, you can use an S-video cable instead of the standard video cable. See “Note Regarding Picture
Quality” above.)
Note:
If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.
The VIDEO-2 inputs on the back of the TV can be used for connecting a second piece of video equipment such as a DVD player. The VIDEO-3 inputs* on the front of the TV can be used for connecting a third piece of video equipment such as a camcorder. See “Note Regarding Picture Quality” above.
