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 power 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.

2

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 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
connection provides the best picture performance.

Using the remote control

Preparing the remote control for use

With the remote control, you can operate your TV, most VCR
models, and 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 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 alkaline batteries. Match the + and - signs on
the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.

Note:

Your TV’s remote control may or may not
operate your VCR or cable TV converter.

Refer to the owner’s manuals supplied with
your other 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
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.

To control a Toshiba VCR:

Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the VCR position. The
shaded buttons shown at right will control the VCR. The
unshaded buttons will operate the TV as usual.

If you own different brands of VCRs, program the remote control
to recognize the brand of your VCR. (See “Programming the
remote control for use with a VCR or a cable TV converter” on
page 12.)

follow the steps below before you operate your remote control.

Program the remote control to recognize the brand of your
converter. The shaded buttons shown on the right will control the
cable TV converter.

Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the CABLE position.

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

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

2. If you are reprogramming 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

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.

Adjusting the channel settings

Switching between two channels

You can switch between two channels without entering an actual
channel number each time.

To switch between two channels:

1. Select the first channel you want to view.

2. Select a second channel with the Channel Number buttons (0-9,

100).

Each time you press CH RTN, the TV will switch back and forth
between the two channels.

Programming your favorite channels

You can preset up to 9 of your favorite channels each for FAVORITE

favorite channels, it allows you to skip other channels you do not
normally watch.

You can still use Channel y z to scan through all the channels you
programmed in the TV’s memory.

To program your favorite channels:

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

Note :

A second audio program (SAP) can be heard
only on those TV stations that offer it. For
example, some TV stations broadcast music
as a second audio program. If you have SAP
on, you will see the current program on the
screen but hear music instead of the
program’s normal audio.

If you have SAP on, and the station you are
watching is not currently broadcasting a
second audio program, you will see the
picture but not hear any sound. If this
happens, but the TV in STEREO mode so
you can hear the station’s normal audio.
