Before connecting your television, video projector, monitor or
other display device, configure your computer for the type of
device you’re connecting. To do this, refer to your operating
system documentation.
Connecting the display device
If you’re connecting a television or other video display device to
the computer’s television jack, refer to the following section for
guidelines on choosing a video cable, then refer to “Connecting a
device to the television jack” on page 175.
If you’re connecting an SVGA monitor, skip to “Connecting an
external monitor” on page 176.
Selecting video cables
To connect a device to the television jack, you need a video cable
(not included with your system). For the best video quality, always
use a properly shielded cable.
HINT: Toshiba recommends using a cable no longer than
20 feet (approximately 6 meters).
Using a poor quality cable may result in a dull or fuzzy picture,
poor color, ghosting, video noise, or loss of video.
