Installing Your TV Set

Where to install

Place the "IV on the floor or on a sturdy platform.

The mounting surface should be flat and steady.

Lighting Do not place the TV in a room where direct lighting

strikes the screen. Use soft and indirect lighting.

=.-

Air circulation Place the TV far enough 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.

Power supply Plug into an electrical outlet with standard house-

hold power (120 volt AC, 60Hz). Do not change the plug's safety prong. See the right column.

WARNING : TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

• Do not stand or climb on the TV.

• Do not put a VCR or any heavy object on top of

the TV.

CAUTION : As a safety feature, the plug has one prong wider

than the other. It will fit only one way into a stand- ard electrical outlet. If the plug will not fit into the

outlet, try turning it around. If the plug will not fit

either way, the outlet is probably old and non-

standard.

You will need to

have a new outlet Wide prong installed by an

electrician.

DO NOT CHANGE THE SAFETY FEATURE OF THE

PLUG.

Antenna/Cable TV Connection

You can use either an indoor or outdoor antenna to receive VHF and/or UHF channels. Channels 2 - 13 are VHF channels, and channels 14 - 69 are UHF channels.

We recommend using an outdoor antenna for better picture quality. You can receive Cable TV by connecting a cable supplied by your local cable company.

Before Using the Remote Control

With this Remote Control, you can operate your TV and

most mode!s of remote-controlled VCR's and Cable TV converters even if they are different brands.

However, this Remote Control must first be programmed to control otherJ_rands of VCR's and/or Converters. If you will be .using your TV set with a TOSHIBA VCR, your Remote has already been preprogrammed for you.

• Before attempting to operate your Remote Control,

install the batteries according to the section "To install batteries" shown below.

• For more detailed instructions, see the section "Pro-

gramming the Remote Control" on page 11.

Place the Remote Control with the face down. Press down on the ridged area of the battery cover and

slide it off. ,

Press and slide to remove.

Notes:

• After installing new batteries, the Remote Control will set itself to the codes for TOSHIBA's TV and VCR. If

you are using the Remote Control to operate equip- ment that uses different codes, it will have to be

reprogrammed for those codes.

• This Remote Control may have functions not available on the original remote controller.

• These functions may or may not operate your VCR or Cable "IV Converter. Refer to the owner's manuals

supplied with the equipment to see which functions are available.

• The remote controller supplied with your VCR or cable "IV converter may ha_/e keys not duplicated on this Remote Control. If these functions are desired, the original remote controller will have to be used.

CAUTION:

• Do not throw your batteries into a fire. Dispose of your

batteries in a designated disposal area.

• Do not combine used old batteries with new ones.

• Do not mix battery types.

.Id

Place two "AA" size batteries, matching the + and - signs on each battery to the + and - signs of the battery compartment.

Replace the battery cover until the lock snaps.

Tips for Best Operation

• For optimum performance, aim the Remote Control directly at the "IV from a distance of no more than 16 ft

(5m) and be sure there is no obstruction between the Remote Control and the TV.

• If your Remote Control does not always adjust the "IV as you wish, you probably need to replace the

batteries.

• 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 period, remove the batteries.

€

Using the Remote with VCR or Cable TV Converter

Details are on page 11.

• To control a cable "IV converter, this Remote Control must be programmed to recognize the brand of your converter. See page 11. The shaded buttons can be used to control the cable TV converter. Set the TV/CABLENCR switch to "CABLE" position whenever you control the cable TV converter.

Notes:

• You have to reprogram the Remote Control when you change its

batteries.

• Some newer VCR's are capable of working on either of two remote codes. These VCR's have a switch labeled "VCR1NCR2".

If your VCR has this kind of switch, and does not respond to all the

code numbers for your VCR brand name, set the switch to another

position ("VCR1" or "VCR2") and reprogram the Remote Control.
