Connecting Your Tv; Connecting A Vcr - Toshiba 34HFX85 Owner's Manual

Connecting your TV

• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna 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 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 left (or mono) channel. If you look at
the rear panel of the TV, you will see that the terminals are color
coded in the same manner as the cables.
• S-video cables provide better picture performance than standard
video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video
compatible components.
• Component video cables provide better picture performance than
S-video cables. Component video cables can only be used with
component video compatible components.
• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use with
video equipment that has HDMI output (see page 14).

For better picture quality, if your VCR has
S-video, you can use an S-video cable
instead of the standard video cable.

an S-video cable to VIDEO-1 (or VIDEO-2)
simultaneously.
