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.
Use this TV with the Toshiba stand listed in
the Specifications section on page 52 only.
Use with other stands may result in
instability, causing possible injury or death.
• Place the TV far enough away from the walls to allow proper
ventilation. This will prevent theTV 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
PIP/double-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/double-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, then finish with a dry cloth.
NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON TV PICTURE TUBE
Extensive viewing of fixed (non-moving) images or patterns can
cause uneven aging of the picture tube, and leave a subtle but
permanent ghost image in the picture. This type of damage is
NOTCOVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY
and unattended for long periods of time while the following
formats or images are displayed:
— Fixed images, such as PIP/POP windows, stock tickers, video
game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.
— Special formats that do not use the entire screen. For
example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a normal
(4:3) display (bars at top and bottom of screen), or viewing
normal (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (bars on
left and right sides of screen).

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™ 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 record
from one channel while watching another channel.
You will need:
• one coaxial cable
• one pair of audio cables (one single audio cable for a mono VCR)
• one video cable (one S-video cable for an S-VHS VCR)

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.

Programming the remote control for use with
your audio/video devices
Device code setup
1. Refer to the Device code table on pages 17 – 20 to find the code
for the brand 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. While holding down the RECALL button, press the Channel
Number buttons to enter the four-digit code of your brand of
device. If a valid code is entered, the mode indicator will blink
twice. If an invalid code is entered, the mode indicator will blink
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 correct code.
If the device does not respond to the remote control, you may
have entered the wrong code. Repeat steps 3 and 4 using another
code.
5. Press MODE to select the TV mode to control the TV.
Searching and sampling the code of a device (991)
If you do not know the device code for a particular target unit, you
can cycle the remote control through the available codes for that
device mode and sample the functions to find the code that properly
operates the 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:
1. Press MODE to select the mode you want to set up.
2. While holding down the RECALL button, press 9 –9 –1.
The remote control will enter program mode.
3. Point the remote control at the target device and 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 twice 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.
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

Viewing the wide-screen picture formats
You can view programs that have the conventional TV picture format
(4:3 aspect ratio) and the wide-screen format (16:9 aspect ratio). This
feature is available for 1080i digital broadcasts and 480p/480i DVD
signals connected to the ColorStream HD1 and HD2 jacks.
Selecting the image shape
1. Make sure the ColorStream HD1 or HD2 mode is selected. (See
page 44 for details.)
2. Press PIC SIZE repeatedly to select either Normal, Letterbox, or
Compression image shape, as described below.
Note: The message “Not Available” will appear when the PIC
SIZE button is pressed in the mode other than the
ColorStream HD1 or HD2.

While the above menu is on the screen, you can select the desired
picture size by pressing the corresponding number button (0–2).
Normal
The Normal picture size displays the picture in the conventional 4:3
aspect ratio. The picture is stretched vertically to fill the screen.
Letterbox, Compression
The Letterbox and Compression modes display a wide-screen (16:9)
picture with bars at the top and bottom of the screen. The picture
retains its true proportion.
Letterbox (recommended mode):
• Picture is horizontally stretched, with bars at the top and bottom.
• Lower picture quality than in the Compression mode because of a
reduction in the scanning lines.
• Slightly lower chance of permanently
engraining stationary patterns on the
picture tube than in the Compression
mode.
Compression:
• Picture is vertically compressed,
with bars at the top and bottom.
•
Better picture quality than in the
Letterbox mode because of more
effective use of scanning lines.
Letterbox and Compression
modes have bars at top and
bottom of screen. See “Notice of
possible adverse effects on TV
picture tube,” at right.
• Greater chance of permanently engraining stationary patterns on
the picture tube than in the Letterbox mode, since there is no
raster in the bars at top and bottom.

For example, a station might broadcast music
as a second audio program. If you have SAP
on, you will see the current program on the

program’s normal audio.
However, if you have SAP on, and the station
you are watching is not currently
