The model number and serial number are on the back
of your TV. Record these numbers in the spaces below.
Refer to these numbers whenever you communicate
with your Toshiba dealer about this TV.

NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
The lightning symbol in the triangle tells you that the
voltage inside this product may be strong enough to
cause an electric shock. DO NOT TRY TO SERVICE
THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF.
The exclamation mark in the triangle tells you that
important operating and maintenance instructions
follow this symbol.
CAUTION
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS
POLARIZED PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD
RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE
PRONGS CAN BE FULLY INSERTED INTO THE
OUTLET TO PREVENT ANY EXPOSURE OF THE
PRONGS ON THE POLARIZED PLUG.
ATTENTION
POUR PRÉVENIR LES CHOCS ÉLECTRIQUES NE PAS
UTILISER CETTE FICHE POLARISÉE AVEC UN
PROLONGATEUR, UNE PRISE DE COURANT OU UNE
AUTRE SORTIE DE COURANT, SAUF SI LES LAMES
PEUVENT ÊTRE INSÉRÉS À FOND SANS EN LAISSER
AUCUNE PARTIE À DÉCOUVERT.
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 Toshiba stands listed on
page 43. 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.
• Damage may occur if you leave the TV in direct sunlight or
near a heater. Avoid areas subject to extremely high
temperatures or humidity, and temperatures of 41˚F(5˚C) or
lower.
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 AC cord and contact your dealer.
• If the room temperature suddenly rises, condensation may
occur on the lenses resulting in picture distortion or color
fading. In such a case, simply wait a while (with the power
on) and the condensation will evaporate.
• Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for
extended periods of time. Stationary patterns generated by a
picture-in-picture (PIP) 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 PIP, computer, or video game
display unattended.
• Sit approximately 10-25 feet away from the TV. Sitting too
far to the left or right of the screen will cause the picture to
appear dull as will direct sunlight and room lights. Turn the
TV off to check for reflections on the screen. Then remove
the source of any reflections while viewing.
Cleaning your TV
• Clean the TV with a soft, dry cloth. Never use strong solvents
such as thinner or benzine which might damage the finish of
the cabinet. If the cabinet is very dirty, use a damp cloth to
wipe the cabinet clean, then finish with a dry cloth.

Cable
If you haven’t 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 and provide the best
picture performance. ColorStream cables can only be used with
ColorStream compatible components.
Connecting a VCR
This connection allows you to watch local channels and video
programs, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and to
record from one channel while watching another channel.
You will need:
• one coaxial cable
• one pair of audio cables (only one cable for a mono VCR)
• one video cable

Using the remote control
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
with a VCR or a cable TV converter” on page 12.)
Installing the remote control batteries
To install the batteries:
1. Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote control.
2. Install two “AA” size batteries. Match the + and - signs on the
batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.
Note:
This remote control’s functions may or may
not operate your VCR or cable TV converter.
Refer to the owner’s manuals supplied with
the equipment to see which features are
available. In addition, the original controllers
may have features not available on this remote
control. If you would like to continue to use
these features, you may want to use the
original remote control.
Caution:
• Dispose of your batteries in a designated
disposal area. Do not throw your 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.

To control a Toshiba VCR:
Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the VCR position. The
shaded buttons shown at right will then control the VCR. The
rest of the buttons will operate the TV as usual.
To control a non-Toshiba VCR:
If you own different brands of VCRs, program the remote control
to recognize the brand of your VCR. (See “Programming the
remote control for use with a VCR or a cable TV converter” on
page 12.)

follow the steps below before you operate your remote control.
Program the remote control to recognize the brand of your
converter. The shaded buttons shown at right will control the
cable TV converter.
Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the CABLE position.
1. Refer to the “VCR code table” or “Cable TV converter code
table” on pages 13-14 to find the number that corresponds to the
brand name of your VCR or converter.
If more than one number 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. Hold down the RECALL button while using the Number
buttons (0-9) to enter the three-digit code number of your brand
of VCR or converter.
4. Point the remote control at the VCR or converter and press
POWER to test the code number.
If the VCR or converter turns on, you have entered the right
number.
If the VCR or converter does not respond to the remote control,
you may have entered the wrong number. Repeat steps 1-4 with
another code number.
5. Reset the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to TV to control the TV.

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
