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

Preparing the Remote Control for Use
Set up
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.)
Installing the Remote Control batteries
1 Slide the battery cover off of the back of the Remote Control.
Preparation
Basic Operation
2 Install two “AA” size batteries. Match the + and – signs on the batteries to
the signs on the battery compartment.
Advanced Operation
Press and slide to remove.
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.

How to Obtain Warranty Service
If after following all of the operating instructions in this manual and checking the section “BEFORE CALLING SERVICE PERSONNEL”, you find that service is needed;
(1) Call the TACP toll free number 1-800-631-3811 after you find a defective
product or part to find the nearest TOSHIBA Authorized Service Station.
(2) Please present your bill of sale or other proof to the Authorized Service
Station. “TACP/THI Authorized Service Station personnel will come to your home when warranty service is required. Depending on the type of repair required, the service will either be performed in your home or the set will be taken to the TACP/THI Authorized Service Station for repair and returned to your home at no cost to you.”
All warranties implied by state law, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are expressly limited to the duration of the limited warranties set forth above. With the exception of any warranties implied by state law as hereby limited, the foregoing warranty is exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties, guarantees, agreements and similar obligations of manufacturer or seller with respect to the repair or replacement of any parts. In no event shall TACP or THI be liable for consequential or incidental damages.
No person, agent, distributor, dealer or company is authorized to change, modify or extend the terms of these warranties in any manner whatsoever. The time within which action must be commenced to enforce any obligation of TACP or THI arising under this warranty or under any statute, or law of the United States or any state thereof, is hereby limited to 90 days from the date you discover or should have discovered, the defect. This limitation does not apply to implied warranties arising under state law.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which may vary from state to state. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, when an action may be brought, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above provisions may not apply to you.
