Getting started
Connecting an antenna
Optimum reception of color requires a good signal and will
generally mean that an outdoor antenna must be used.
The exact type and positioning of the antenna will depend upon
your particular area.
Your Toshiba dealer or service personnel can best advise you
on which antenna to use in your area.
Before connecting the antenna cable, turn off all main power
switches.
