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.

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 places too.

• Damage may occur if you leave the TV in direct sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places 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.

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.

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.

Coaxial Cable

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 an 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. On the rear panel of the TV, the terminals are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.

• S-video cables provide better picture performance than regular video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video compatible components.

• ColorStream™ (component video) 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

Using the remote control

Preparing the remote control for use

You can use the TV remote control to operate the TV, most VCR models, and most cable TV converters together, even if they are different brands. If you have a Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter, the TV remote control is already programmed and ready to use. If you have a non-Toshiba VCR or converter, you must first program the remote control (see “Programming the remote control for use with a non-Toshiba VCR or a cable TV converter” on page 12.)

Installing the remote control batteries

To install the batteries:

1. Slide the battery cover off of 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:

The TV remote control may not operate your VCR or cable TV converter.

Refer to the owner’s manual for your other device to see which features are available. In addition, the remote control for your other device may have features not available on the TV’s 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 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.

For future reference, write down the codes you used:

VCR code: _____________________ Cable TV converter code: _____________________

1. Refer to the VCR and cable TV converter code tables on pages 13 and 14 to find the corresponding code for your VCR or cable TV converter.

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

2. If you are programming 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. While holding down RECALL, press the Number buttons (0–9) to enter the three-digit code for your brand of VCR or converter.

4. Point the remote control at the VCR or converter and press POWER to test the code.

If the VCR or converter responds, you have entered the right code.

If the VCR or converter does not respond, you may have entered the wrong code. Repeat steps 1–4 using another code.
