Connecting Your Tv; Connecting A Vcr - Toshiba 50A11 Owner's Manual

Connecting your TV

If you have not connected electronic equipment before, or you have
been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section. (Cables
are not supplied.)
• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from an
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use "F"
connectors.
• Audio and video cables are usually color-coded according 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 (or mono) left channel. On the rear panel of the
TV, the terminals are color-coded in the same manner as the
cables.
• S-video cables provide better picture performance than regular
video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video
compatible components.
• ColorStream™ (component video) cables come in sets of three,
and provide the best picture performance. ColorStream cables can
only be used with ColorStream compatible components.

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

Caution:
Do not plug the TV in 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 a 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.
