NOTE TO CATV INSTALLERS

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,
specifi es 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 27 and 28 on page 4.

NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS

ON TV PICTURE DISPLAY

If a fi xed (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 item

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

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.

Tune Into Safety

 One size does NOT fi t 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 the home

with your family and friends. Thank you!

Welcome to

Welcome to Toshiba

Congratulations! You have purchased one of the fi nest 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.

Selecting a location for the TV

• Place the TV on the fl oor or on a sturdy platform in a location where

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

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 than standard

video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video
compatible components.

• Component video cables provide better picture performance than

S-video cables. Component video cables can only be used with
component video compatible components.

Connecting a cable converter box or Antenna

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.

Option 1: For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service

For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box,
connect the incoming 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack
on the back of the television.

Option 2: 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.

Connecting

Option 3: 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

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.

Caution:

• Never throw batteries into a fi re.

Note:

• 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 the batteries from the 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.
