Connecting Your Tv; Connecting A Vcr - Toshiba 42H81 Owner's Manual

Connecting your TV

Note: Cables are not supplied with your TV.
• Coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna, cable TV company, or cable converter box. Coaxial cables
use "F" connectors.
• Standard A/V (audio/video) cables are usually color-coded
according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio, and
white for stereo left (or mono) audio. On the back of the TV, the
jacks are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.
• S-video cables provide better picture performance than a standard
video cable. S-video cables can only be used with S-video
compatible equipment.
• Component video cables come in sets of three and provide the best
picture performance. Component video cables can only be used
with component video compatible equipment.

Connecting a VCR

This connection allows you to watch local channels and video
programs, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and record
from one channel while watching another channel.
You will need:
• one coaxial cable
• one pair of audio cables (one single audio cable for a mono VCR)
• one video cable (one S-video cable for an S-VHS VCR)

Caution:
Do not plug in any power cords until
you have finished connecting all of your
equipment.
Note:
If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to
VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.
If you have an S-VHS VCR, use an S-video
cable instead of the regular video cable.
Do not connect a regular video cable
and an S-video cable to Video-1 (or
Video-2) at the same time. Doing so wil
cause unacceptable picture performance.
The unauthorized recording, use,
distribution, or revision of television
programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other
materials is prohibited under the
Copyright Laws of the United States
and other countries, and may subject
you to civil and criminal liability.
