Connecting your TV
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
and provide the best picture performance. ColorStream cables
can only be used with ColorStream compatible components.

Note:
For the highest possible picture quality from a
non-ColorStream DVD player/satellite
receiver, you must use an S-video cable
between the TV and DVD player/satellite
receiver. (If your DVD player or satellite
receiver is ColorStream-compatible, see
page 8).
Do not connect both an S-video cable and a
regular video cable between the TV and DVD
player/satellite receiver at the same time.
Doing so will distort the picture.
Do not connect the DVD player/satellite
receiver and VCR to the same video channel
on the TV. (See the illustrations, which show
the DVD player/satellite receiver connected to
Video-1 on the TV and the VCR connected to
Video-2 on the TV.)
Caution:
The unauthorized recording of television
programs, videotapes, and other materials
may infringe upon the provisions of copyright
laws.

Introduction
Preparing the remote control for use
With the remote control, you can operate your TV, most VCR
models, and 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 first have to program
your remote control. (See “Programming the remote control for use
your TV
with a VCR or a cable TV converter” on page 13.)
Connecting
Installing the remote control batteries
To install the batteries:
Using the
Remote Control
your TV
Setting up
1. Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote control.
2. Install two “AA” size alkaline batteries. Match the + and - signs on
the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.
Note:
Your TV’s remote control may not operate
certain features on your VCR, cable TV
converter, or other electronic device.
Refer to the owner’s manuals for your other
devices to determine their available features.
If your TV’s remote control does not operate a
specific feature on a device, use the remote
control that came with the device.
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.
• If the batteries are dead or if you will not
use the remote control for a long time,
remove the batteries to prevent battery acid
from leaking into the battery compartment.
Note:
• Battery life expectancy is about one year
with normal use.

3. Slide the battery cover back on to the remote control until the
lock snaps.
Using the remote control with a Toshiba VCR
or cable TV converter
To control a Toshiba VCR:
Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the VCR position. The
buttons shown at right will then control the VCR. The unshaded
buttons will operate the TV as usual.
To control a Toshiba cable TV converter:
Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the CABLE position. The
shaded buttons in the top half of the illustration at right will
control the cable TV converter. The other buttons will operate the
TV as usual.
If you own a non-Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter, you may be
able to program the TV remote control to control it. See
“Programming the remote control for use with a non-Toshiba VCR or
cable TV converter” on page 13.

Programming the remote control for use with a
non-Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter
The remote control is pre-programmed to operate Toshiba VCRs. To
use the remote control to operate a non-Toshiba VCR or cable
converter, follow the steps below to program the remote control.
1. Refer to the “VCR code table” or “Cable TV converter code
table” on pages 14-15 to find the corresponding code for your
VCR or cable TV converter brand.
If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you
find the one that works.
2. If you are reprogramming the remote control to operate your:
• VCR: Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch on the remote control
to VCR.
• Cable converter: Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch on the
remote control to CABLE.
3. While holding down the RECALL button, press the Number
buttons (0-9) to enter the three-digit code for your VCR or cable
TV converter.
4. Point the remote control at the VCR or converter and press
POWER to test the code.
If the VCR or converter responds, you have entered the correct
code.
If the VCR or converter does not respond, you may have entered
the wrong code. Repeat steps 1-4 using another code.
5. Reset the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to TV to control the TV.
For future reference, write down the code(s) you used:

Note:
• Each 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, it may
not respond to any of the code numbers for
your VCR brand name. In this case, set the
switch to the other position (VCR1 or
VCR2) and reprogram the remote control.
