If you're lucky your Toshiba will have optional H + V inputs to go with their "colorstream" inputs. I'm assuming not though, as you probably would have noticed.
Breakout cables will not work, due to the Horizontal and Vertical sync being integrated with the green signal. What you need is a converter box to go from RGB (5 rca's or dsub15) to component.
My guess is this box will cost you some significant $, although decent quality breakout wires (dsub15 tor 5 rca's) are easy to find from Monster and at least one other brand. (Synergistic Research, AudioQuest, or somebody like that -- I like Monster for my video)
Your next question will be how to get the converter box, If I find anything out I'll post or email you.
