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.

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-out-picture (POP) 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 POP, 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. 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. 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)

Using the remote control

Introduction

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 or cable TV converter, your remote control is already programmed and ready to use. If you own different brands of VCRs and/or converters, you must program the remote control. (See “Programming the remote control

your TV

Connecting

for use with a non-Toshiba VCR or a cable TV converter” on page

13.)

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 alkaline batteries. Match the + and - signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.

Note:

Your TV’s remote control may not operate certain features on your VCR, cable TV converter, or other electronic device.

Refer to the owner’s manuals for your other devices to determine their available features.

If your TV’s remote control does not operate a specific feature on a device, use the remote control that came with the device.

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 a non-Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter

The TV remote control is pre-programmed to operate Toshiba VCRs and cable TV converters. To use the remote control to operate a non-Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter, follow the steps below to program the remote control.

1. Refer to the “VCR code table” or “Cable TV converter code table” on pages 14–15 to find the corresponding code for your VCR or cable TV converter brand.

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 TV converter: Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch on the remote control to CABLE.

3. White holding down the RECALL button, press the Number buttons (0-9) to enter the three-digit code for your VCR or cable TV converter.

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

If the VCR responds, you have entered the correct code. If the VCR or converter does not respond, you may have entered

the wrong code. Repeat steps 1–4 using another code.

5. Reset the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to TV to control the TV.

For future reference, write down the code(s) you used:

• 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.
