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.

Connecting

• 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; red and white for audio. The red audio cable is
for the stereo right channel; 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 than standard
video cables. S-video cables can be used only with S-video
compatible components.

• ColorStream

(component video) cables come in sets of three.
A ColorStream (component video) connection will provide the
best picture performance.

NOTE REGARDING

PICTURE QUALITY

When connecting video equipment,
such as a VCR or DVD player:

• For GOOD picture quality: Use

regular video cables.

• For BETTER picture quality: If your

equipment has S-video connections,
use S-video cables instead of regular
video cables.

• For BEST picture quality: If your

equipment has component video
connections, (ColorStream is
Toshiba’s brand), use component
video cables instead of regular or
S-video cables. Component video
cables come in sets of three.

Note: Do not connect a regular video
cable and an S-Video cable to VIDEO-1
(or VIDEO-2) at the same time. Doing
so will distort the picture.

Programming the remote control for use with
your audio/video devices

Using the

Remote Control

Device code setup

1. Refer to the Device code table on pages 18–21 to find the code
for your device.

If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you
find the one that works.

2. Press MODE until the mode indicator of the device (CABLE/
SAT, VCR, DVD, AUDIO1, AUDIO2) lights up.

3. While holding down RECALL, press the CHANNEL
NUMBERS to enter the four-digit code for your device.
Release the buttons.

If a valid code is entered, the mode indicator will blink twice.
If an invalid code is entered, there will be one long blink.

4. Point the remote control at the device and press POWER to test
the code.

If the device turns on, you have entered the right code.
If the device does not respond to the remote control, you may

have entered an invalid code. Repeat steps 3 and 4 using another
code.

5. To control the TV, press MODE until TV mode lights up.

Searching and sampling the code of a device (991)

If you do not know the device code for a particular device, you can
cycle the remote control through the available codes for that device
and sample functions to find the code that operates the device. The
keys available to be sampled, provided they are applicable to that
mode, are 0, 1, 2, 3, POWER, VOL y, CH y, PLAY, and STOP.
Invalid keys will be ignored while in program mode.

To cycle through each available device code and sample its functions:

1. Press MODE to select the mode you want to set up.

2. While holding down RECALL, press 9, 9, 1 in sequence. The
remote control will enter program mode.

3. Point the remote control at the device, and then press POWER
(or other function buttons that are available to be sampled).

4. If the device responds to the remote control:

Press RECALL to store the device code.
The mode indicator will blink two times, and the remote
control will exit the program mode.

If the device does not respond to the remote control:

Press y, and then press POWER.
Repeat this step until the device responds to the remote
control, and then press RECALL.

RECALL

Note:

• Every time you replace the batteries, you
must reprogram the remote control.

• Some newer VCRs are capable of working
on either of two remote codes. These VCRs
have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.”

If 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.

Reference

Note: When a search cycle is done, 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.

16

Verifying the device code (990)

Use this feature to verify the codes for your other 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 VCR device code:

1. Press MODE to select the VCR mode.

2. While holding down RECALL, press 9, 9, 0 in sequence.

3. Press 1 ➝ 0 blinks.

4. Press 2 ➝ 3 blinks.

5. Press 3 ➝ 8 blinks.

6. Press 4 ➝ 5 blinks.

This verifies that the device code of the VCR is “0385.”

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 the CABLE/SAT mode:

1. Press MODE to select the CABLE/SAT mode.

2. While holding down RECALL, press 9, 9, 3 in sequence.

3. Press VOL y. The Mode indicator will blink two times (locked).

Blocking programs by ratings

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) uses a rating
system to qualify motion picture content. Television broadcasters
employ a similar rating system to qualify the content of television
programs. The MPAA, Youth TV, and TV ratings work with the
V-Chip feature to allow you to block access to programs that exceed
the rating limits you set.
