This is a reminder to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC,which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. For additional antenna grounding information, see items 25 and 26 on page 4.

NOTICEOFPOSSIBLEADVERSEEFFECTS

ONTVPICTUREDISPLAY

If a fixed (non-moving) pattern or image remains on the TV screen for extended periods of time, the image can become permanently ingrained in the cathode ray tube(s) of the TV and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY

YOUR WARRANTY. (See item33 on page 4 for details.)

Welcome to Toshiba

Congratulations! You have purchased one of the finest color TVs on the market. The goal of this manual is to guide you through setting up

and operating your Toshiba TV as quickly as possible. You may need to purchase other audio or video cables to connect your

equipment. See "Connecting your TV" on page 7 for more information. Please read all the safety and operating instructions carefully before

you begin.

Exploring your new TV

You can operate your TV by using the buttons on the front panel or the remote control. The front and back panels provide all the inputs you will

need to connect other equipment to your TV.

TV front panel

TV back panel

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.

J3S10321A(E) P02-06 6 _ 22/12/05, 1:38 PM

Connecting your TV

• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use "F" connectors.

• Standard AN (audio/video) cables are usually color coded accord- ing 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.

• An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a standard video cable. S-video cables can only be used with S-video compatible components.

• Component video cables come in sets of three and provide the best picture performance. Component video cables can only be used with component video 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 record from one channel while watching another channel.

You will need:

• two coaxial cables

• one set of standard A/V cables

Note:

If using a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to

VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.

For better picture quality, if your VCR has S- video, you can use an S-video cable instead of the standard video cable. Do not connect a

standard video cable and an S-video cable to

VIDE01 simultaneously.

J3S10321A(E) P07-13 7 _ 21/12/05, 12:30 PM

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 Converted 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 Converted Descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (some- times 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.

Connecting a DVD player/satellite receiver and a VCR

This connection allows you to watch DVD/satellite, VCR, or TV pro- grams.

Tosatellite DVD player/Satellite Receiver

You will need:

• three coaxial cables

• two sets of standard AN cables

• one S-video cable

Note:

You can use a standard video cable instead of

the S-video cable, but the picture quafity will decrease. If you use an S-video cable between the TV and DVD player/satellite

receiver, make the audio connections but

remove the standard video cable. Do not

connect both an S-video and a standard video

cable to VIDE01 at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

The unauthorized recording, use, distribu- tion 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.

Connecting a DVD player with ColorStream ® (component video) and a VCR

This connection allows you to watch DVD, VCR, or TV programs and record TV programs.You can record from one source while watching a program from another source. Your TV is capable of using ColorStream (component video). Connecting your TV to a component video compat- ible DVD player, such as a Toshiba DVD player with ColorStream ®,can greatly enhance picture quality and performance.

You will need:

top 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 INTER-
