Selecting A Location For The Tv/Dvd; Connecting Your Tv/Dvd; Connecting A Vcr - Toshiba 20HLV15 Owner's Manual

Selecting a location for the TV/DVD

• Place the TV/DVD on the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location
where light does not directly hit the screen.
• Place the TV/DVD far enough from the walls to allow proper
ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which
may damage the TV/DVD.

Connecting your TV/DVD

• 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 accord-
ing 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/DVD, 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 17).

• one set of standard A/V cables
Note:
If using a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to
VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.
For better picture quality, if your VCR has S-
video, you can use an S-video cable instead
of the standard video cable. Do not connect a
standard video cable and an S-video cable to
VIDEO-1 simultaneously.

tion or revision of television programs,
