Connecting Your Tv; Connecting An Antenna Or Cable Tv - Toshiba TheaterWide 20HL86 Owner's Manual

Connecting your TV

Note: All required cables, if not provided with your other devices, can
be purchased at many electronics accessory suppliers.
• Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your
antenna, cable TV service, and/or cable converter box to
the ANT 75 Ω RF input on your TV.
• Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come
in sets of three, and are for use with video devices with
standard audio and standard (composite) video output.
These cables (and the related inputs on your TV) are
typically color-coded according to use: yellow for video,
red for stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or
mono) audio.
• S-video cable is for use with video devices with S-video
output. Separate audio cables are required for a
complete connection.
Note: An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a
standard (composite) video cable.
• Component video cables come in sets of three and are
for use with video devices with component video output.
These cables are typically color-coded red, green, and
blue. (ColorStream® is Toshiba's brand of component
video.) Separate audio cables are required for a complete
connection.
Note: Component video cables provide better picture performance
than a standard (composite) video or S-video cable.
• HDMI cable is for use with devices with uncompressed
HDMI (high- definition multimedia interface) video and
compressed audio output. HDMI cable delivers digital
audio and video in its native format (see
cable carries both video and audio information; therefore,
separate audio cables are not required for a complete
connection.
Note: HDMI cable provides better picture performance than a
standard (composite) video or S-video cable.
• Mini D-sub 15-pin cable is for use with a personal
computer with an analog RGB (15-pin) output. A
separate audio cable is required for a complete
connection.
