Important Information
Precautions
WARNI NG
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTUR E.
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.
• Models 43AX60 and 43AX60A may be used only with the
Toshiba stand shown on page 50. 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, 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
PIP, Multi-Window, 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 and then finish with a dry
cloth.

• 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.

can cycle the remote through the available codes for that device mode
and sample functions in order to find the code that properly operates
your TV
Setting up
the desired target device. The keys available to be sampled, provided

Features
Using the TV’s
Appendix
1. Refer to the Device code table on pages 16-19 to find the number
that corresponds to the brand name of your device.
If more than one number 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. Hold down the RECALL button while using the Number
buttons to enter the four-digit code number of your brand of
device.
If a valid code has been 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 number.
If the device turns on, you have entered the right number.
If the device does not respond to the remote control, you may
have entered the wrong number. Repeat steps 3 and 4 using
another code number.
5. Press MODE to select the TV mode to control the TV.
1. Press MODE to select the mode you want to set up.
2. While holding down the RECALL button, press 9, 9, 1 in
sequence. The remote control will enter program mode.
3. Point the remote at the target device, then press POWER (or
other function buttons that are available to be sampled).
4. If the device responds to the remote:
Press RECALL to store the device code.
The mode indicator will blink twice and the remote will exit
the program mode.

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.
Index
Note: If a search cycle has been completed, the mode indicator will blink three
times. The remote will begin to cycle through the available codes again.
If no key is pressed within ten seconds while programming, the remote
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 devices. The

1. Press MODE to select the VCR mode.
2. While holding down the RECALL button, 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.

Adjusting the color convergence
This projection TV uses three separate TV tubes: a red one, a green
one, and a blue one. The red, green, and blue images are projected
onto the screen where they converge to form a full color picture. You
can see a clear picture only when they converge correctly.
Convergence may drift over time or if you move the TV. If you can
see clear images on the screen, skip this procedure.
This adjustment should be made after the TV has been on for at least
30 minutes.

channel is changed, or the RECALL button is pressed.
The MTS feature is not available while in the VIDEO mode.
