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.

Welcome to Toshiba

Congratulations! You have purchased one of the finest 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.

TV front panel

Remote sensor

Power indicator

POWER Channel A/V

Audio(L/R)/Video In

The STARTING SETUP feature appears the first time you turn on the TV. See page

19 for details.

Notes:

, To open the menu system, you can either

press MENU on the remote control or simultaneously press both VOLUME

buttons (A and V) on the front panel.

, When a menu is open, to select the desired

setting, you can use either the arrow buttons on the remote control or the

CHANNEL J,/T and VOLUME A/T

buttons on the front panel.

TV back panel

Selecting a location for theTV

,, Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location where

light does not directly hit the screen. Place the TV far enough from the walls to allow proper ventilation.

Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which may damage the TV.

J3W30221A(E) P02-06 6 1/16/06, 9:34 AM

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.

+ 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.

,, Digital audio coaxial cable is for use with digital audio equipment

that has digital audio output (see page 13.)

Connecting a VCR

This connection allows you to watch local channels and video programs, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and record from one channel while watching another channel.

Cable Lead-in from cable box or antenna

Stereo VCR

You will need: * two coaxial cables * one set of standard A/V cables

Note: If using a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to VCR

Audio OUT using only one audio cable. For better picture quality, if your VCR has S-video, you can use an S-video cable instead of the

standard video cable. Do not connect both an S-video cable and a standard video cable at

the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

The unauthorized recording, use, distri- bution or revision of television programs,

videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is

prohibited under the Copyright Laws of

the United States and other countries,

and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.

J3W30221A(E) P07-13 7 1/16/06, 9:34 AM

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 CableTV 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.

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 (some- times 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.

record one TV channel while watching another channel.

From satellite

DVD player/Satellite Receiver

You will need:

three coaxial cables two sets of standard A/V cables

Note: If using a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to VCR

Audio OUT using only one audio cable. For better picture quafity, if your VCR has S-video, you can use an S-video cable instead of the

standard video cable. Do not connect both an S-video cable and a standard video cable at

the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

The unauthorized recording, use, distri- bution or revision of television programs,

videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is

prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.

Connecting a DVD player with ColorStream ® (component video) and a VCR

This connection allows you to watch DVD, VCR, or TV programs and record TV programs. You can record from one source while watching a program from another source. Your TV is capable of using ColorStream (component video.) Connecting your TV to a component video compat- ible DVD player, such as a Toshiba DVD player with ColorStream ®,can greatly enhance picture quality and performance.

DVD player with Component video

From antenna

You will need: * two coaxial cables * one set of standard A/V cables

* one set of component video cables * one pair of standard audio cables

Note: The ColorStream inputs on this TV are for use

with devices that output 480i interlaced

signals ONLY This TV will net accept or display 480p or 720p progressive scan signals or 1080i interlaced high-definition signals, ff you connect a high-definition set-

top receiver, 480p progressive scan DVD

player, or other similar device to the TV's

Co/erStream inputs, YOU MUST SWITCH THE DEVICE'S OUTPUT TO 480i

INTERLACED MODE FIRST Failure to do this will display "Celorstream" on a black

screen.

From Antenna

Stereo VCR

You will need: ,, three coaxial cables

,, two sets of standard AN cables ,, one set of standard audio cables ,, one set of component video cables

Note:

You can connect the component video cables to either set of ColorStream jacks on the TV If your DTV receiver does not have compo- nent video, use the S-video and standard

audio connections instead. Do not connect both an S-video and a standard video cable

at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.
