Connecting Your Tv; Connecting A Vcr - Toshiba 36HF13 Owner's Manual

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 output.
Component video cables come in sets of three (typically color-coded red,
green, and blue), and are for use with video equipment that has component video
®
output. Your TV's ColorStream
same manner as the cables.
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 output, 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.)

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.

Note:
If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to

If you have a VCR with S-video output, you
can use an S-video cable (in the S-video
jacks) instead of the standard video cable for
better picture performance.
Do not connect a standard video cable and
an S-video cable to VIDEO-1 (or VIDEO-2)
at the same time, or the picture performance
will be unacceptable.
