The Issue
If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your home.
Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV.
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.
Sometimes TVs are improperly secured or inappropriately
situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio
speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may fall over,
causing unnecessary injury.
Toshiba Cares!
The consumer electronics industry
is committed to making home
entertainment enjoyable and safe.
The Consumer Electronics
Association formed the Home
Entertainment Support Safety
Committee, comprised of TV and
consumer electronics furniture
manufacturers, to advocate
children’s safety and educate
consumers and their families about
television safety.
NOTE TO CATV INSTALLERS
This is a reminder to call the CATV system installer’s
attention to Article 820-40 of the U.S. 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.
NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS
ON TV PICTURE DISPLAY
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 BYYOUR WARRANTY. (See item 33 on page 4 for details.)

Tune Into Safety
One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate
furniture large enough to support the weight of your
TV (and other electronic components).
Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure
your furniture to the wall (but never screw anything directly
into the TV).
Carefully read and understand the other enclosed
instructions for proper use of this product.
Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture
and TVs.
Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR,
remote control, or toy) that a curious child may reach for.
Remember that children can become excited while watching
a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over.
Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of
home with your family and friends. Thank you!

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 A/V (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 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.

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 to operate your other devices” 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 not operate your
VCR, DVD player, or cable TV converter.
Refer to the owner's manual supplied with the
applicable equipment to see which features
may be available. Additionally, the remote
control for this TV may not support certain
features available on the original remote
controls for such additional equipment, in
which case, it is suggested that you use the
original remote control for the applicable
device.
Caution:
• Never throw batteries into a fire.
Notes:
• Be sure to use AAA size batteries.
• Dispose of batteries in a designated
disposal area.
• Batteries should always be disposed of with
the environment in mind. Always dispose of
batteries in accordance with applicable laws
and regulations.
• If the remote control does not operate
correctly, or if the operating range becomes
reduced, replace batteries with new ones.
• When necessary to replace batteries in the
remote control, always replace both
batteries with new ones. Never mix battery
types or use new and used batteries in
combination.
• Always remove batteries from remote
control if they are dead or if the remote
control is not to be used for an extended
period of time. This will prevent battery acid
from leaking into the battery compartment.

Remote Control
Programming the remote control to operate
your other devices
This remote control is pre-programmed to operate Toshiba VCRs and
DVD players. To control VCRs, DVD players, or cable converters other
than Toshiba models, you must follow the steps below to program your
remote control.
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 and 2 using another code.
For future reference, write down the codes you used:
VCR code ________________________
DVD player code ___________________
Cable TV converter code ____________
VCR
CABLE
DVD
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 on page 13, 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.
