CAUTION
The plug has one prong wider than the other and will fit only
one way into a standard
electrical outlet (120 volt AC,
wide prong
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.
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.
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.
• This TV set may be used only with the Toshiba stands shown
on page 48. Use with other stands may result in instability,
causing possible injury.
• 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 or
cosmetics 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 generated by a
Multi-Window display, computer displays, video games,
stock market reports, etc., 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 Multi-Window, computer, or
video game display unattended.
Cleaning your TV
• To clean the TV screen:
1. First remove the plug from the power outlet to avoid
possible shock hazard.
2. Use a clean cellulose sponge or chamois cloth dampened
with a solution of mild detergent and warm water to clean
the TV screen and trim. Do not use too much water on the
TV screen. Water spills into the cabinet and may cause
damage to the TV. Avoid excess water.
3. Remove any extra moisture with the same cloth or a dry
one.
CAUTION
Never use strong solvents such as thinner, benzene or other
chemicals on or near cabinet, as they might damage the finish of
the cabinet.

If you have not 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
®
cables come in sets of three. A ColorStream
connection will provide the best picture performance.
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.
You will need:
• one coaxial cable
• one pair of audio cables (one single audio cable for a mono VCR)
• one video cable (one S-video cable for an S-VHS VCR)

Note:
For the highest possible picture quality, you
must use the ColorStream connections
between the TV and DVD player. You can
connect the ColorStream cables from the
DVD player to either ColorStream jack on the
TV (HD1 or HD2).
The ColorStream HD1 and HD2 jacks can be
used with Progressive (480p) and Interlace
(480i, 1080i) scan systems.
If your DVD player is not ColorStreamcompatible, use the S-video connections
(both audio and video) instead of the
ColorStream connections.
Do not connect both S-Video and
ColorStream cables between the TV and
DVD player at the same time. Doing so will
distort the picture.
To record from the DVD player (when
authorized), set the VCR to Line IN. To
monitor recording from the DVD player, set
the VCR to Line IN and the TV to Video-1.
Caution:
The unauthorized recording of television
programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other
materials may infringe upon the provisions of
copyright laws.
Note:
Do not connect the same VCR to the output
and input jacks on the TV at the same time.
If you have S-VHS VCRs, use S-video cables
(in the S-video jacks) instead of regular video
cables. Do not connect both a regular video
cable and an S-video cable to Video-1 (or
Video-2) at the same time.
To dub or edit, VCR 2 must select Line IN,
and the TV must select Video-1.

your VCR has this kind of switch and does
not respond to any of the codes for your
VCR brand, set the switch to the other
position (VCR1 or VCR2) and reprogram
the remote control.
Index
1432/36AFX61(E)
Note: When a search cycle is complete, the mode indicator will blink three
times. The remote control will begin to cycle through the available codes
again. If no key is pressed within 10 seconds while programming, the
remote control will exit the program mode and return to the previous
code.
Verifying the device code (990)
Use this feature to verify the codes for your other electronic devices.
The number of blinks after pressing the 1, 2, 3, and 4 buttons is the
4-digit code set up for that mode.
For example, to verify the device code of the VCR mode:
1. Repeatedly press MODE to select VCR mode.
2. While holding down RECALL, press 9–9–0.
3. Press 1 ➝ 2 blinks.
4. Press 2 ➝ 3 blinks.
5. Press 3 ➝ 4 blinks.
6. Press 4 ➝ 5 blinks.
This verifies that the device code of the VCR mode is “2345.”
Using the Volume Lock feature (993)
For the TV, CABLE/SAT, VCR, and DVD modes, the volume
controls (VOL yz and MUTE) can be programmed (locked) to the
selected device mode. This feature does not apply to the AUDIO1/2
modes.
For example, to lock the volume controls to always jump to the
CABLE/SAT mode:
1. Repeatedly press MODE to select the CABLE/SAT mode.
2. While holding down RECALL, press 9–9–3.
3. Press VOL y. The Mode indicator will blink two times (locked).

For example, some TV stations broadcast
music as a second audio program. If the TV

law of the United States or any state thereof, is hereby limited to 90 days from the date you discover or should have discovered, the defect. This

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which may vary from state to state. Some states do not allow
limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, when an action may be brought, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above provisions may not apply to you.
