Connecting Your Tv; Note Regarding Picture Quality; Connecting A Vcr - Toshiba 65HDX8 Owner's Manual

Connecting your TV

Note: One IR blaster cable is provided with your TV. No other cables are provided.
Coaxial cable is the cable that comes in from your antenna, cable TV service, or cable
converter box. Coaxial cable has "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 an S-Video connector.
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 connectors. Your
TV's ColorStream ® (component video) inputs are color-coded in the same manner as the
cables.
DVI-D digital single-link cable is for use with video equipment that has a DVI-D digital
single-link connector (see page 14).

NOTE REGARDING PICTURE QUALITY

When connecting video equipment to your Toshiba TV:
For GOOD picture quality: Use a standard stereo A/V yellow video cable.
For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has an S-video connector, 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 an S-video
cable (plus the standard red and white audio cables for full system connection.) If your
equipment has a DVI-D digital single-link connector, use a DVI-D cable (plus standard
red and white audio cables connected to "DVI/HDCP IN" for full system connection).
IR blaster cable is used to remotely control other A/V equipment (equipped with an an
infrared sensor) through the TV (see page 15).

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
one channel while watching another channel.
