0303

4 4

30) [ThisitemappliestoprojectionTVsonly. ] If the air temperature rises suddenly (for example, when the TV is first delivered), condensation may form on the lenses. This can make the picture appear distorted or the color appear faded. If this happens, turn off the TV for 6 to 7 hours to allow the condensation to evaporate.

31)For added protection of your TV from lightning and power surges, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the antenna from the TV if you leave the TV unattended or unused for long periods of time.

32)During normal use, the TV may make occasional snapping or popping sounds. This is normal, especially when the unit is being turned on or off. If these sounds become frequent or continuous, unplug the power cord

and contact a Toshiba Authorized Service Center.

33)Possible Adverse Effects on TV Picture Tube: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the TV screen for long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the picture tube and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your TV on for long periods of time while it is displaying the following formats or images:

•Fixed Images, such as PIP/POP windows, stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.

•Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a normal (4:3) display (gray bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (gray bars on left and right sides of screen).

Connecting your TV

If you haven’t connected electronic equipment before, or you have been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section. (Cables are not supplied.)

•

A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your

antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.

•

Standard A/V (audio/video) cables are usually color coded

according to use: yellow for video and red and white for audio. The

red audio cable is for the stereo right channel, and the white audio

cable is for the stereo left (or mono) channel. If you look at the rear

panel of the TV, you will see that the terminals are color coded in

the same manner as the cables.

•

S-video cables provide better picture performance. S-video cables

can only be used with S-video compatible components.

Caution:

•

Component video cables come in sets of three and provide the best

picture performance. Component video cables can only be used

Do not plug the TV in until you have finished

with component video compatible components.

Connecting your TV

Connecting a cable converter box

This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a cable company supplied converter box. Some cable companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device, which is generally provided by the cable company.

For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service

For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack on the back of the television.

For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service

If you subscribe to a cable service that requires the use of a Converter/ Descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the Converter/ Descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the Antenna Jack on the back of the television. Follow the connections shown below. Set the television to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.

For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with Scrambled Premium Channels

If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/ Descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a “two-set coupler”) and an A/B Switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B” position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the “A” position, tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.

Incoming CATV

Note:

When you use a converter box with your TV, there may be features that you cannot program using the remote control, such as labeling channels, blocking channels, and programming your favorite channels.

Your TV is capable of using ColorStream (component video). Connecting your TV to a component video compatible DVD player, such as a Toshiba DVD player with ColorStream®, can greatly enhance picture quality and performance.

•one S-video cable

•one pair of standard audio cables

Note:

You can use a standard video cable instead of the S-video cable, but the picture quality will decrease. If you use an S-video cable between the TV and DVD player/satellite receiver, make the audio connections only and remove the standard video cable.

You will need:

•two coaxial cables

•one set of standard A/V cables

•one set of component video cables

•one pair of standard audio cables

Note:

The ColorStream inputs on this TV are for use with devices that output 480i interlaced signals ONLY. This TV will not accept or display 480p or 720p progressive scan signals or 1080i interlaced high-definition signals. If you connect a high-definition settop receiver, 480p progressive scan DVD player, or other similar device to the TV’s ColorStream inputs, YOU MUST SWITCH THE DEVICE’S OUTPUT TO 480i INTERLACED MODE FIRST. Failure to do this will cause a poor picture or no picture to display.

The unauthorized recording, use, distribution or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.

Using the remote control

Preparing the remote control for use

With the remote control, you can operate your TV, most VCR and DVD player models, and cable TV converters together, even if they are different brands. If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba VCR or DVD player, your remote control is already programmed and ready to use. If you own different brands of VCRs, DVD players and/or converters, you first have to program your remote control. (See “Programming the remote control for use with a VCR, DVD player, or cable TV converter” on page 12.)

Installing the remote control batteries

To install the batteries:

1. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote control.

2.Install two “AAA” size batteries. Match the + and – signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.

3. Close the battery cover on the remote control until the lock snaps.

Note:

The TV remote control may or may not operate your VCR, DVD player, or cable TV converter. Refer to the owner’s manuals supplied with the equipment to see which features are available. In addition, the original controllers may have features not available on this remote control. If you would like to continue to use these features, you may want to use the original remote control.

Cautions:

•Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area. Do not throw batteries into a fire.

•Do not mix battery types or combine used batteries with new ones.

•Remove dead batteries immediately to prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment.

•If you do not intend to use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.

1.While holding down the CODE button, press the button for the device you want to control (VCR, DVD, or CABLE).

2.Enter the 2-digit code listed on page 13 using the Number buttons (0–9) within 10 seconds.

3.Point the remote control at the VCR, DVD player, or converter and press POWER to test the code.

If the VCR, DVD player, or converter turns on, you have entered the right code.

If the VCR, DVD player, or converter does not respond to the remote control, you may have entered the wrong code. Repeat steps 1–2 with another code.

For future reference, write down the codes you used:

VCR code ________________________

DVD player code ___________________

Notes:

•When shipped from the factory, the remote control is set to operate your TV.

•If you do not enter the code within 10 seconds from step 1 or if you enter a code not listed below, this operation is canceled.

•Each time you replace the batteries, you must reprogram the remote control.

•Some newer VCRs are capable of working on either of two remote codes. These VCRs have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.”

If your VCR has this kind of switch and does not respond to any of the codes for your VCR, set the switch to the other position (VCR1 or VCR2) and reprogram the remote control.
