Connecting Your Tv; Note Regarding Picture Quality; Connecting A Vcr - Toshiba 53AX62 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 connectors.
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 ®
the 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 connectors, 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

an S-video cable to Video-1 (or Video-2) at
the same time, or the picture performance
