Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy
your new TV, keep these safety tips in mind:

The Issue

¾

If you are like most consumers
home. Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV.

¾

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing
trend, and larger TVs are popular purchases; however,
they are not always supported on the proper TV stands.

¾

Sometimes TVs are improperly secured or inappropr iately
situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio
speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may fall over,
causing unnecessary injury.

sunlight or room lights reflect on the screen. Turn the TV off
to check for reflections on the screen, and then remove
the source of reflections while viewing the TV.

27) Always unplug the TV before
cleaning. Never use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.

28) WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind
into the TV cabinet slots.

Service

33) WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC

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.

• 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.

Caution:

Do not plug the TV in until you have finished
connecting all of your equipment.

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.

your TV

Connecting

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.

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.

Safeguards

Important

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.

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.
