ANTENNA / ANTENA
Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outdoor antenna is installed,
follow the precautions below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where
it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section
810 of the National Electrical Code in the USA and Section 54 of the
Canadian Electrical Code in Canada provides information with respect
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Puesta a tierra de la antena exterior — Cuando instale una antena
exterior, tenga en cuenta las precauciones siguientes.
Un sistema de antena esterior no deberá colocarse cerca de líneas de alta
tensión ni otros circuitos de iluminación o alimentación, ni donde
pueda entrar en contacto con tales líneas o circuitos.
CUANDO INSTALE UN SISTEMA DE ANTENA EXTERIOR,
TENGA EXTREMADO CUIDADO PARA EVITAR QUE ENTRE
EN CONTACTO CON TALES LÍNEAS DE ALIMENTACIÓN O
CIRCUITOS, YA QUE TAL CONTACTO PODRÍA RESULTAR
INVARIABLEMENTE FATAL.
Cerciórese de que el sistema de antena esté puesto a tierra a fin de que
proporcione cierta protección contra sobretensiones y cargas estáticas.
La Sección 810 del Código Eléctrico Nacional (NEC) de EE.UU. y la
Sección 54 del Código Eléctrico Canadiense ofrecen informacón con
respecto a la puesta a tierra adecuada de una unidad de descarga de
antena, el tamaño de los conductores de puesta a tierra, la ubicación de
la unidad de descarga de la antena, la conexión de los electrodos de
puesta a tierra, y los requisitos de tales electrodos.

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.

Using the remote control
Preparing the remote control for use
The remote control will operate your TV, most VCR models, and
most 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 will need to program your remote
control (see “Programming the remote control for use with a VCR or
cable TV converter” on page 8).
Installing the remote control batteries
To install the batteries:
1. Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote control.
Note:
The remote control provided with your TV
may or may not operate certain features on
your VCR, cable TV converter, or other
electronic components. Refer to the owner’s
manuals provided with your other
components to see which features are
available. In addition, the other remote
controls may have buttons not available on
your TV’s remote control. If you would like to
use those features or buttons, you may need
to use the original remote controls for your
other components.

Welcome to
your TV
Connecting
2. Install two “AA” size batteries. Match the + and – symbols on the
batteries to the symbols on the battery compartment.
3. Slide the battery cover back onto the remote control until the
lock snaps.
Using the remote control with a VCR
or cable TV converter
To control a Toshiba VCR:
Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the VCR position. The
shaded buttons in the illustration at right will then control the
VCR. The unshaded buttons will operate the TV as usual.
To control a cable TV converter:
Program the remote control to recognize the brand of your
converter (see “Programming the remote control for use with a
VCR or cable TV converter” on page 8). Set the TV/CABLE/
VCR switch to the CABLE position. The shaded buttons in the
top portion of the illustration at right will then control the cable
TV converter.
Caution:
• Dispose of batteries in a designated
disposal area. Do not throw 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.

the rating limits you set.
