Welcome to Toshiba Connecting your TV Note: Cables are not supplied with your TV. Coaxial cable is the cable that comes in from your antenna, cable TV service, or cable converter box. Coaxial cable uses “F” connectors. Standard A/V (audio/video) cables usually come in sets of three, and are typically color-coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio.
Connecting your TV Connecting a cable converter box This connection allows you to watch basic and premium cable channels. To use the TV features (such as PIP swap, channel block, favorite channels, or channel labels), select ANT-1, and use the TV remote control to change channels. To view premium channels, select ANT-2, tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is vacant in your area), and use the converter box to change channels.
