Selecting a location for the TV
●Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location where light does not directly hit the screen.
●Place the TV far enough from the walls to allow proper ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which may damage the TV.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury:
●Do not stand or climb on the TV.
●Do not put a VCR or any heavy object on top of the TV.
Caution:
The plug has one prong wider than the other and will fit only one way into a standard electrical outlet (120 volt AC, 60 Hz). If the plug does not fit into the outlet, try turning it around. If the plug still does not fit, the outlet is probably non-standard and must be replaced by a qualified electrician. Do not tamper with the plug or try to force it into a non-standard outlet.

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.
●Audio and 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 (or mono) left 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.
●ColorStream™ cables come in sets of three and provide the best picture performance. ColorStream cables can only be used with ColorStream compatible components.
Connecting a VCR
This connection allows you to watch local channels and video programs, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and to record from one channel while watching another channel.

Preparing the Remote Control for Use
With the Remote Control, you can operate your TV, most VCR models, and cable TV converters together, even if they are different brands. If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba VCR, your Remote Control is already programmed and ready to use. If you own different brands of VCR's and/or converters, you first have to program your Remote Control.
(See “Programming the Remote Control” on page 11.)
Preparation
Reference Section Advanced Operaion Basic Operation
Installing the Remote Control batteries
1 Slide the battery cover off of the back of the Remote Control.
Press and slide to remove.
2 Install two “AA” size batteries. Match the + and – signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.
3 Slide the battery cover back on to the Remote Control until the lock snaps.
Caution:
●Dispose of your batteries in a designated disposal area. Do not throw your 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.
Note:
This Remote Control’s functions may or may not operate your VCR 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.

Controlling other brands of VCR’s and cable TV converters
1 Refer to the “VCR code table” (or “Cable TV converter code table”) on pages 12 and 13 to find the code number that corresponds to the brand name of your VCR (or converter).
If more than one number is listed, try each one separately until you find the one that works.
2 Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to “VCR” (or “CABLE”).
3 Hold down RECALL while pressing the Number buttons for the three digit code number for your brand of VCR (or converter).
4 Point the Remote Control at the VCR (or at the converter) and press
POWER to test the code number.
–If the right number was entered, the VCR (or the converter) should turn off.
–If the VCR (or the converter) does not respond to the Remote Control, repeat steps 1 to 4 with another code number.
For future reference, write down the code numbers you used:
VCR CODE
CABLE CODE
Notes:
●You have to reprogram the Remote Control when you change its batteries.
●Some newer VCR’s are capable of working on either of two remote codes. These VCR’s have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2”.
If your VCR has this kind of switch, and does not respond to all the code numbers for your VCR brand name, set the switch to another position (“VCR1” or “VCR2”) and reprogram the Remote Control.
