Thank you for purchasing the Toshiba Satellite®
5205-S705 computer.
Using your computer’s integrated TV Tuner and the

Transmission quality may vary by location and channel.
For best results in recording or viewing, the Satellite
5205-S705 requires the use of an external Set-top Box or
Cable Box using a high quality signal as the main source.
Failure to comply with these instructions will not produce
optimum recording or viewing quality. See the steps and
diagram below for more information, or refer to the
Windows Media Center chapter in the online user’s guide
for your computer.
To get the best possible performance from your
Toshiba computer, and keep it running at
optimal levels, be sure to regularly check
www.ts.toshiba.com for applicable updates.
To connect the signal source from the wall to a VCR and
TV using a coaxial cable:
1 Remove the coaxial cable from the VCR input and
connect it to the input of a coaxial cable signal
splitter (not included).
