Selecting video cables
To connect a device to the television jack, you need a video cable.
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.

device.
Refer to the documentation provided with the device for the
