THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF.
The exclamation mark in the triangle tells you that
important operating and maintenance instructions
follow this symbol.
CAUTION
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS
POLARIZED PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD
RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE
PRONGS CAN BE FULLY INSERTED INTO THE
OUTLET TO PREVENT ANY EXPOSURE OF THE
PRONGS ON THE POLARIZED PLUG.
ATTENTION
POUR PRÉVENIR LES CHOCS ÉLECTRIQUES NE
PAS UTILISER CETTE FICHE POLARISÉE AVEC UN
PROLONGATEUR, UNE PRISE DE COURANT OU
UNE AUTRE SORTIE DE COURANT, SAUF SI LES

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
non-standard and must be replaced by a qualified
electrician. Do not tamper with the plug or try to force it
into a non-standard outlet.

Precautions
Installing your TV
• Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform. The
mounting surface should be flat and steady. If you
install the TV on a soft floor, make sure that the floor is
not damaged by the weight of the TV.
• Place the TV far enough away from the walls to allow
proper ventilation. This will prevent the TV from
overheating and avoid possible damage to the TV.
Avoid dusty areas too.
Using your TV
• Do not stand or climb on the TV.
• Do not put any heavy object on top of the TV.
• Do not place containers with liquids such as drinks,
aquariums, or lighted candles on the TV. If any foreign
material or water leaks into the TV, unplug the power
cord and contact your dealer.
• Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen
for extended periods of time. Stationary patterns (such
as those generated by computer displays, video
games, or stock market reports) can become
permanently engrained on the picture tube. This
damage is not protected by your warranty because it
is the result of misuse. If you wish to use your TV to
display still images, reduce brightness and contrast
settings. Never leave a computer or video game
display unattended.
Cleaning your TV
• To clean the TV screen:
1.Unplug the TV from the power outlet to avoid
possible shock hazard.
2.Use a clean, dry cellulose sponge or chamois cloth
to clean TV screen and trim. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaning agents. Liquid spilling into the TV
cabinet may cause electric shock or damage the TV.
CAUTION
Never use strong solvents such as thinner, benzene, or
other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they can
damage the finish of the cabinet.
Note to CATV system installers in the USA
This reminder is provided 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.

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
picture performance. ColorStream cables can only be used with
ColorStream 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 which requires the use of a Con-
your TV
Connecting
verter/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.
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 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
VCRs and/or converters, you first have to program your remote control.
(See “Programming the remote control for use with a VCR or a cable
TV converter” on page 8.)
Installing the remote control batteries
To install the batteries:
1. Open the battery cover of 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:
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.
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.

Blocking programs by ratings
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) uses a rating
system to qualify motion picture content. Television broadcasters
employ a rating system to qualify the content of television programs, as
well. The MPAA, Youth TV and TV ratings work with the V-Chip feature
and allow you to block out programming above the rating limits you
determine.
