designed for the TV set. Never remodel the TV set by yourself as this
can result in a fire hazard or electric shock.

Fixations — Ne jamais ajouter d’accessoires non prévus spécialement
pour le téléviseur. N’effectuez jamais vous-même des modifications sur
le téléviseur pour éviter tout risque d’incendie ou d’électrocution.

If a snapping or popping sound from a TV set is heard continuously or
frequently while the TV set is operated, unplug the TV set and consult your
dealer or service technician. It is normal for some TV sets to make occasional
snapping or popping sounds, particularly when being turned on or off.

Si le téléviseur produit un bruit sec et prolongé ou fréquent quand il est
en marche, débranchez-le et adressez-vous à votre revendeúr ou à un
réparateur. Avec certains téléviseurs, ce genre de bruits occasionnel est
normal surtout à la mise sous ou hors tension.

iii

SERVICE / RÉPARATION

Damage Requiring Service — Unplug the TV set from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

Dommages exigeant une réparation — Débranchez le téléviseur de la
prise murale et faites appel à un réparateur qualifié dans les cas suivants:

a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
a. Le cordon d’alimentation ou la prise est endommagée ou usée.

b. When liquid has been spilled into the TV set.
b. Du liquide a été répandu sur le téléviseur.

c. When the TV set has been exposed to rain or water.
c. Le téléviseur a été exposé à la pluie ou à l’eau.

d. When the TV set has been subject to excessive shock by being

dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.

d. Le téléviseur est tombé et a subi un choc violent, ou le coffret a été

endommagé.

e. When the TV set does not operate normally even though you follow

the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are specified
in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the TV set to normal operation.
When the TV set exhibits a distinct change in performance. This
indicates a need for service.

e. Le téléviseur ne fonctionne pas normalement bien que vous respectiez

les instructions du mode d’emploi. Faites uniquement les réglages
indiqués dans le mode d’emploi, car tout autre réglage risque de
provoquer des dommages qui nécessiteront des réparations
supplémentaires pour que le téléviseur fonctionne de nouveau
normalement.
Quand le téléviseur n’offre plus les mêmes performances, une révision
est aussi nécessaire.

Servicing — Do not attempt to service the TV set yourself. To open or
remove the covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Réparation — N’essayez pas de réparer vous-même le téléviseur. L’ouverture et
le retrait des panneaux peut exposer à une tension dangereuse ou à d’autres
dangers. Faites toujours appel à un réparateur compétent.

Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are required, be sure
the service technician certifies in writing that he has used replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as
the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or other hazards.

Pièces de rechange — Lorsque des pièces doivent être remplacées,
demandez au réparateur qu’il vous garantisse par écrit qu’il a utilisé les
pièces spécifiées par la fabricant et ayant les mêmes caractéristiques que
les pièces d’origine. Des substitutions non autorisées peuvent être cause
d’incendie, électrocution ou tout autre accident.

Safety Check — Upon completion of any service or repairs to the TV
set, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks (as
specified by the manufacturer) to determine that the TV set is in safe
operating condition, and to so certify.

Contrôle de sécurité — Après tout entretien ou toute réparation,
demandez au réparateur d’effectuer des contrôles de sécurité (comme
prescrit par le fabricant), pour voir si le téléviseur fonctionne
normalement, et de vous le certifier.

When the TV set reaches the end of its useful life, improper disposal
could result in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified service
technician to dispose of the TV set.

Quand le téléviseur est devenu inutilisable, ne pas le déposer n’importe
où afin d’éviter une implosion du tube. Demandez à un réparateur
compétent où vous devez le déposer.

ANTENNA / ANTENNE

Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outdoor antenna is installed,
follow the precautions below.

An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where
it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.

WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section
810 of the National Electrical Code in the USA and Section 54 of the
Canadian Electrical Code in Canada provides information with respect
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Mise à la terre de l’antenne extérieure — Si vous installez une antenne
extérieure, veuillez respecter les précautions ci-dessous.

Une antenne extérieure ne doit pas être installée près de lignes électriques
aériennes ou autres circuits d’alimentation ou d’éclairage électriques, ou
dans un endroit où elle pourrait toucher de tels circuits ou lignes.

LORS DE L’INSTALLATION D’UNE ANTENNE EXTÉRIEURE,
SOYEZ EXTRÊMEMENT PRUDENT POUR ÉVITER DE
TOUCHER DE TELS CIRCUITS OU LIGNES ÉLECTRIQUES,
CAR UN TEL CONTACT ENTRAINE PRATIQUEMENT
TOUJOURS LA MORT.

L’antenne doit être reliée à la terre par mesure de sécurité contre les
hausses brusques de tension et l’électricité statique accumulée. La
section 810 du National Electrical Code aux Etats-Unis et la section 54
du Code électrique du Canada fournissent des informations sur le
raccordement à la terre correct du mât et de la structure porteuse, le
raccordement de la descente d’antenne à une unité de décharge
d’antenne, la taille des conducteurs de mise à la terre, l’emplacement de
l’unité de décharge d’antenne, la connexion aux électrodes de terre, et
les spécifications desélectrodes de terre.

• 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

cables come in sets of three and provide the best
picture performance. ColorStream cables can only be used with
ColorStream compatible components.

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 8.)

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:

This remote control’s functions may or may
not operate your VCR or cable TV converter.
Refer to the owner’s manuals supplied with
the 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 your batteries in a designated
disposal area. Do not throw your 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.

Using the

Remote Control

To control a cable TV converter:

Program the remote control to recognize the brand of your
converter (see “Programming the remote control for use with a
VCR or cable TV converter,” below). The shaded buttons shown
on the right will control the cable TV converter.

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

Programming the remote control for use with a
VCR or a cable TV converter

This remote control is pre-programmed to operate Toshiba VCRs. To
use VCRs or cable converters other than Toshiba models, you must
follow the steps below before you operate your remote control.

1. Refer to the “VCR code table” or “Cable TV converter code
table” on pages 10-11 to find the number that corresponds to the
brand name of your VCR or converter.

If more than one number 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/AUX switch on the remote

control to VCR.

• cable converter, set the TV/CABLE/VCR/AUX switch on the

remote control to CABLE.

3. Hold down the RECALL button while using the Channel
Number buttons to enter the three-digit code number of your
brand of VCR or converter.

The Program Indictor lights for one second when the program­ming is completed. When an error has occurred, the Program
Indicator blinks. Press RECALL again to reset.

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

If the VCR or converter turns on, you have entered the right
number.

If the VCR or converter does not respond to the remote control,
you may have entered the wrong number. Repeat steps 1-4 with
another code number.

For future reference, write down the code numbers you used:

Note:

• Each 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, it may
not respond to any of the code numbers for
your VCR brand name. In this case, set the
switch to the other position (VCR1 or
VCR2) and reprogram the remote control.
