Overview
of
cable
types
Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell audio/
video devices. Before purchasing any cables, be sure
of
connector types required by your devices and the length
of
each cable.

cable
@){U)-------
Coaxial (F-type) cable
is
used for connecting your antenna,
cable TV service, and/or cable converter box to the
ANTI

Standard
AN
cables (composite video) usually come
in
sets
of
three, and are for use with video devices with analog audio
and 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
OdJllIDm------
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 composite video cable. If you connect an S-video
cable,
be
sure
to
disconnect the standard (composite) video
cable
or
the picture performance will
be
unacceptable.

Component video cables
come
in
sets
of
three and are for
use with video devices with component video output.
(ColorStream® is Toshiba's brand
of
component video.) These
cables are typically color-coded red, green, and blue. 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.
HDMITM
cable
(with
HDMI
Logo
"HOml")
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for
use with devices with an
HDMl
output. An
HDMl
cable
delivers digital audio and video
in
its native format. This
cable carries both video and audio information; therefore,
separate audio cables are not required for a complete HDMI
device connection
(I@'
page
15
and page 18).
Note: HOMI cable provides better picture performance than
a standard (composite) video or S-video cable.
