ANTENNA / ANTENA

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.

Puesta a tierra de la antena exterior — Cuando instale una antena exterior, tenga en cuenta las precauciones siguientes.

Un sistema de antena esterior no deberá colocarse cerca de líneas de alta tensión ni otros circuitos de iluminación o alimentación, ni donde pueda entrar en contacto con tales líneas o circuitos.

CUANDO INSTALE UN SISTEMA DE ANTENA EXTERIOR, TENGA EXTREMADO CUIDADO PARA EVITAR QUE ENTRE EN CONTACTO CON TALES LÍNEAS DE ALIMENTACIÓN O CIRCUITOS, YA QUE TAL CONTACTO PODRÍA RESULTAR INVARIABLEMENTE FATAL.

Cerciórese de que el sistema de antena esté puesto a tierra a fin de que proporcione cierta protección contra sobretensiones y cargas estáticas. La Sección 810 del Código Eléctrico Nacional (NEC) de EE.UU. y la Sección 54 del Código Eléctrico Canadiense ofrecen informacón con respecto a la puesta a tierra adecuada de una unidad de descarga de antena, el tamaño de los conductores de puesta a tierra, la ubicación de la unidad de descarga de la antena, la conexión de los electrodos de puesta a tierra, y los requisitos de tales electrodos.

• 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.
