Toshiba with weird sockets
The manual is no good, and I have not got the skills to recognise the sockets.
They are all here http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/tvs/1...oshiba-46yl863 Toshiba web site simply says "scart socket", no it isn't!!!! If I knew what toshiba called it, I cold go to amazon and google the relevant cable. I want to connect composite signal to the tv. Would that be through the scart or is there another socket ( one of the 3.5mm ones?) I also warn to know if I can connect a dsub VGA to the tv via the socket labeled rgb/VGA. But what is the socket, what adapter do I need. |

This series of Toshiba requires non-standard breakout cables for the component, composite, scart and PC/RGB sockets which should be included with the TV in the box, if you don't have them then you need to acquire them from Toshiba.

I don't see why this adapter wouldn't work with the composite 3.5mm socket :
http://www.amazon.co.uk/LINDY-AV-Ada...+3.5mm+adapter It looks like a standard connection to me. Worth trying for a fiver. RGB connector looks like Toshiba's own. If the source device doesn't have a HDMI out connector is there space to fit a graphics card with that output ? Alternatively try an adapter for a similar model : http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/28111...f13=80&ff14=65 |

If you are lucky all it means is that the colour of the socket does not match the expected yellow for video, red for right audio and green for left. I know of at least two variations where the red and yellow are reversed relative to each other. I have also seen variants where pole 1 of the jack is common ground and others where pole 2 is the ground. |

I may be showing my ignorance here but there should be some standard for slim sockets. when a need becomes apparent the relevant group should step in.

Looking at the back of the units http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/toshi...1109131377.htm And http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/tvs/1...oshiba-46yl863 They are identical, therefore they must be compatable

I took your advice and purchased cables from ebay for a tv in the same range. They arrived and work perfectly.
