Connecting Your Tv; Note Regarding Picture Quality When Connecting Video Equipment; Connecting A Vcr; Connecting A Cable Converter Box - Toshiba COLOR STREAM 32A41 Owner's Manual

Connecting your TV
if you have not connected electronic equipment before, or you have been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this
section. (Cables are not supplied.)
• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your antenna or cable
converter box. Coaxial cables use "F" connectors.
• Audio and video cables are usually color-coded according to use: yellow for
video; red and white for audio. The red audio cable is for the stereo right
channel; the white audio cable is for the stereo (or mono) left channel, if you
look at the back panel of the TV, you will see that the terminals are color-coded
in the same manner as the cables.
NOTE REGARDING PICTURE QUALITY
When connecting video equipment, such as a VCR or DVD player:
- For GOOD picture quality: Use regular video cables.
- For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has S-video connections,
use S-video cables instead of regular video cables.
- For BEST picture quality: If your equipment has component video
connections (ColorStream
TM
is Toshiba's brand), use component video
cables instead of regular or S-video cables. Component video cables
come in sets of three.
Note: Do not connect an S-video cable and a regular video cable to
VIDEO-1 (on the TV) at the same time. Doing so will distort the picture.
