Important Information

Precautions

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO

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.

• 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.

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 (only one cable for a mono VCR)

• one video cable

Using the remote control

Introduction

Preparing the remote control for use

The remote control will operate your TV, most VCR models, and
most 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

your TV

a cable TV converter” on page 11.)

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 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 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.

• Remove dead batteries immediately to

Introduction

The remote control provided with your TV is preprogrammed to
operate Toshiba brand VCRs. You can program your TV remote
control to operate other brands of VCRs and cable TV converters
as well.

To program your TV remote control to operate non-Toshiba VCRs
and cable TV converters:

1. Refer to the VCR and cable TV converter code tables on pages
12–13 to find the corresponding code for your VCR or converter
brand.

If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you
find the one that works.

2. Turn on the device (VCR or converter) whose code you are
programming.

3. Press the corresponding device button (VCR or CABLE) and the
ENT/CH RTN button at the same time. The device button will
light up, indicating that it is in the program mode. Perform steps
4 and 5 while the button is lighted (about 20 seconds).

4. Point the remote control toward the VCR or converter, and press
the Channel Number buttons to enter the three-digit code for
your VCR or converter brand.

• If the correct code was entered, the VCR or converter will
turn off.

• If the VCR or converter does not turn off, repeat steps 1–4
using another code.

When the correct code is entered, the lighted button will blink.

5. Press the corresponding device button (VCR or CABLE) to
release the program mode.

6. Press TV to control the TV.

Enter

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 and
does not respond after programming to any
of the codes for your VCR brand, set the
switch to the other position (VCR1 or
VCR2) and reprogram the remote control.

To change to a specific channel (programmed or unprogrammed):

Press the Channel Number buttons (0–9 and 100).
For channels 100 and higher, press the 100 button, then the next

two numbers. For example, to select channel 125, press 100–2–5.

Adjusting the color convergence

This projection TV uses three separate TV tubes: red, green, and blue.
The separate red, green, and blue images are projected onto the screen
where they converge to form a full-color picture. The picture will be
clear only when the three images converge correctly. Convergence may
drift over time or if you move the TV. If your TV’s picture is clear,
skip this procedure.

This adjustment should be made after the TV has been on for at least
30 minutes.

To check and adjust the color convergence:

1. Press MENU, then press x or • until the PICTURE menu
appears.

2. Press y or z to highlight CONVERGENCE.

Note:

A second audio program (SAP) can be heard
only on those TV stations that offer it.

For example, a station might broadcast the
news as their second audio program. With
SAP on, you would see the regular program
on the screen but hear the news instead of
the program’s normal audio.

If you have SAP on, and the station you are
watching also has SAP on but is not
broadcasting any audio on their SAP, you will
be able to see the picture but not hear any
sound. If this occurs, put the TV in STEREO
mode so you can hear the station’s normal
audio.
