NOTE REGARDING PICTURE QUALITY
When connecting video equipment to your Toshiba monitor:
• For GOOD picture quality: Use a standard yellow video cable.
• For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has an Swideo
input, 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 the standard yellow video cable
at the same time, or the picture performance will be unacceptable.)
• For BEST picture quality: If)_ur equipment has component video (or
HDMI) inputs, use either component video cables (or an HDMI cable)
instead of a standard video or S-video cable. (A component video
connection requires separate audio cables. An HDMI connection does
not require separate audio cables.)
