Chapter 2: Connecting your TV Overview of cable types Note: Two dual-blaster IR blaster cables are included with your TV. These IR blaster cables have specific characteristics that allow them to work with this TV’s IR OUT and G-LINK ports. Other aftermarket IR blaster cables may not function correctly and could cause damage. SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR TOSHIBA WARRANTY because it is a result of misuse.
Chapter 2: Connecting your TV About the connection illustrations You can connect different types and brands of devices to your TV in several different configurations. The suggested connection illustrations in this manual are representative of typical device connections only. The input/output jacks on your devices may differ from those illustrated herein. For details about connecting and using your specific devices, refer to each device’s owner’s manual.
Chapter 2: Connecting your TV Connecting a VCR and Cable box You will need: one Cable signal splitter five coaxial cables one set of standard A/V cables From Cable TV Cable box CH 3 CH 4 OUT • For better picture performance from your VCR: If your VCR has S-video, connect an S-video cable (plus the audio cables) instead of the standard video cable. Do not connect an S-video cable and a standard video cable to VIDEO 1 (or VIDEO 2) at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.
Chapter 2: Connecting your TV Connecting a VCR and satellite receiver You will need: three coaxial cables one set of component video cables (if your satellite receiver does not have component video, connect the standard A/V cables only) two sets of standard A/V cables • For better picture performance, if your satellite receiver and VCR have S-video, connect S-video cables (plus the audio cables) instead of the standard video cables from the satellite receiver to the VCR to VIDEO 1 on the TV.
Chapter 2: Connecting your TV Connecting a DVD player with S-video and a VCR You will need: five coaxial cables one set of standard A/V cables • If you have a mono VCR, connect L/MONO on the TV (VIDEO 2) to your VCR’s audio out jack using the white audio cable only. From antenna or Cable TV one S-video cable one pair of standard audio cables Cable box Note: OUT • If your DVD player does not have S-video, use a standard video cable instead.
Chapter 2: Connecting your TV Connecting a DVD player with component video and a VCR Your TV has ColorStream® (component video) inputs. Connecting a DVD player with component video output (such as a Toshiba DVD player with ColorStream®) can greatly enhance picture quality.
Chapter 2: Connecting your TV Connecting two VCRs From antenna or Cable You will need: two coaxial cables two sets of standard A/V cables • Do not connect the same VCR to the output and input jacks on the TV at the same time. To view the antenna or Cable signal: VIDEO IN from ANT AUDIO CH 3 CH 4 L R L OUT to TV • For better picture performance, if VCR 1 has S-video, use an S-video cable (plus the audio cables) instead of the standard video cable.
Chapter 2: Connecting your TV Connecting a DVI/HDCP device The DVI/HDCP1 input on your TV is designed to accept HDCP program material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861– compliant 2 consumer electronic devices, such as a set-top box or DVD player with a DVI-D digital single-link output connection.3 The DVI/HDCP input is designed for best performance with 1080i high-definition video signals. The DVI/HDCP input also will accept and display 480p, 480i, and 720p signals.
Chapter 2: Connecting your TV Connecting a digital audio system Dolby Digital decoder or other digital audio system The TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack outputs a or 2-channel down-mixed PCM (pulse-code modulation) signal for use with an external Dolby Digital decoder or other external audio system with optical audio input. You will need: one optical audio cable To control the audio: Turn on the TV and the digital audio device. Press MENU on the TV’s remote control and open the AUDIO menu.
Chapter 2: Connecting your TV Connecting an A/V receiver This connection allows you to use an A/V (audio/video) receiver to enhance your TV’s sound. If your sound system has Dolby Pro Logic surround sound, you can add to the realism of the sound by using the TV’s internal speakers as center channel speakers.
Chapter 2: Connecting your TV Controlling infrared remote-controlled devices through the TV (IR pass-through) You can use the TV’s IR OUT jack (infrared pass-through) to remotely operate (through the TV) many infrared remote-controlled devices (such as a Toshiba infrared remote-controlled VCR or DVD player or an IEEE-1394 device) enclosed within an entertainment center or similar cabinet. Without the IR OUT connection, the device typically would need to be visible to operate it remotely.
Chapter 2: Connecting your TV Connecting IEEE-1394 (Firewire™) video devices You can use the two bi-directional IEEE-1394 ports on the back of your TV to connect digital video devices that meet CEA specifications for IEEE-1394 (also known as Firewire). Because these ports are bi-directional, they can be used for both playback and recording. • This TV is not intended for connection to and should not be used with a PC (personal computer).
Chapter 2: Connecting your TV Connecting IEEE-1394 (Firewire™) video devices (cont.) IEEE-1394 device initialization IEEE-1394 device management When you connect a new IEEE-1394 device to the TV and turn it on, the device immediately announces its presence to the TV (and other networked IEEE-1394 devices, if any), and the following device initialization screen automatically appears. The IEEE-1394 device information is saved permanently in the TV’s memory.
Chapter 2: Connecting your TV Connecting IEEE-1394 (Firewire™) video devices (cont.) IEEE-1394 device interconnection IEEE-1394 devices can be interconnected (instead of each device having to be connected to a separate input on the TV) in either of two ways: (1) a device-to-device chain connection or (2) a hub connection. Chain connection Connect the first IEEE-1394 device to one of the TV’s IEEE-1394 inputs, and then connect each subsequent device to the preceeding device in the chain.
Chapter 2: Connecting your TV G-LINK connection This connection is necessary to enable the TV Guide On Screen™ system’s device control and one-touch recording features. After you connect your devices to the TV (pages 12–24), you will need to connect the G-LINK cable (one of the dual-wand IR blaster cables included with your TV) from your VCR and Cable box (if applicable) to the G-LINK jack on the TV.
