Selecting video cables
To connect a device to the S-video port, you must purchase an S-
video cable. To connect a device to the HDMI Out port, you must 
purchase an HDMI cable.
S-video cables and HDMI cables are not included with your 
computer. 
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.
