Overview of cable types

Component video cables (red/green/blue)

Coaxial (F-type) cable

Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)

S-video cable

HDMI cable

Dual-wand IR blaster/ G-LINK cable
(2 included)

Note:

Two dual-wand IR blaster/G-LINK cables are included with your TV. All other 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-1 and/or ANT-2 RF inputs 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 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.

●

HDMI cable

is for use with devices with HDMI (high-definition multimedia

interface) output. HDMI cable delivers digital audio and video in its native format.
This cable carries both video and audio information; therefore, no separate audio cables
are required for a complete HDMI device connection. See page 19 for further details.

Note:

HDMI cable provides better picture performance than a standard (composite) video or

S-video cable.

●

IEEE-1394 cable

is for use with video devices with compressed digital video output

that meets CEA specifications for IEEE-1394. This cable carries both video and audio
information; therefore, no separate audio cables are required for a complete connection.
See pages 22–24.

Note:

• The transmission capability of IEEE-1394 cable used with this TV must be S400

(400 Mbps maximum).

• IEEE-1394 cable provides better picture performance than a standard

(composite) video or S-video cable.

●

Dual-wand IR blaster/G-LINK

™

cable

is for use with video devices with IR

(infrared) remote control. Two of these cables are included with your TV. One is for
connection to the G-LINK jack (page 25) to enable TV Guide On Screen

™

recording

features (Chapters 5 and 7). The other can be used with the TV’s IR pass-through
feature (page 21) and TheaterNet on-screen device control feature (page 44).

Note:

The two IR blaster/G-LINK cables included with your TV have specific characteristics

that allow them to work properly with this TV’s IR OUT and G-LINK ports.

Never use other

aftermarket IR blaster or G-LINK cables with this TV.

Other cables may not function

properly and can cause damage.

THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR

TOSHIBA WARRANTY

●

Optical audio cable

is for connecting receivers with Dolby

Digital or PCM

(pulse-code modulation) optical audio input to the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
jack. See page20.

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Note:

Although your TV includes both HDMI

and IEEE-1394 connections, it may not
operate with another device you have that
includes such a connection. For example, the
IEEE-1394 ports are not intended to operate
with current model Mini DV camcorders, and
the HDMI input is not intended for
connection to a computer. Copyright
protection requirements may also prohibit or
limit connectivity. See page 19 for details
about the HDMI input. See pages 22–24 for
details about the IEEE-1394 ports.
