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.

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.

the desired target 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:
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.
If the device does not respond to the remote:
Press Menu y then press POWER. Repeat this step until the device responds to the remote, then press RECALL.

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 number of blinks after pressing the 1, 2, 3, and 4 buttons is the 4-digit code set up for that mode.
Example: To verify the VCR code is 0385:
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.
You can verify that the device code of the VCR mode 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 or locked to the selected device mode. This feature does not apply to the AUDIO1/2 modes.

1. Press MODE to select the CABLE/SAT mode.
2. While holding down the RECALL button, press 9, 9, 3 in sequence.
