Care and Maintenance

Do not stand or climb on the TV.

• The "IV is dangerous if broken or if it has fallen over.

• Be careful when children are present.

Do not remove the back cover
and never remodel the cabinet
or components.

• Let qualified technicians
check and adjust your TV.

Keep magnets, toys with magnets,
electric clocks, speakers, etc. away
from the -IV.

When the cabCt_t becomes dirty, clean it with a
soft, dry cloth.
Whenthe cabinet is very dirty,
(_) Use a damp cloth to wipe the cabinet clean.
(_) Finish with a dry cloth.

Do not place containers

with liquids such as drinks

or cosmetics on the TV.

If any foreign material or water has
gotten into the "IV, remove the AC
cord and contact your dealer.

Do not use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the

I I___1 INTRODUCTION

Installation

Downward spot lights or fluorescent lights in an
overhead "Honeycomb" prevent direct
illumination of the screen.

• \\\\\\ \\ \

Cover shiny surfaces (floor and walls) with non-
reflective materials (carpet, rugs, wallpaper, etc.).

Where to install
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.

Air Circulation

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 places too.

Heat Damage
Damage may occur if you leave the TV in direct sunlight or near
a heater. Avoid places subject to extremely high temperatures
or humidity, and temperatures of 41°F (5°C) or lower.

Power Supply

Plug into an electrical outlet with standard household power
(120 volt AC, 60 Hz). Do not change the plug's safety prong.

See page 2.

Moisture Condensation
If the room temperature suddenly rises (or if the TV is moved
from a cool place to a hot place), 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.

Best Viewing

Sit approximately 10-25 feet away from the "IV. 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.

I _ INTRODUCTION

Antenna/Cable TV

Connections

• You can use either an indoor or outdoor antenna to receive VHF and 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 -IV by connecting the cable supplied by your local cable

company.

Types of antenna cables

Shown below are two basic types of antenna cables.
Signals from a home antenna may be conveyed by either type. Cable TV
signals will always be conveyed by a 75 ohm coaxial cable,

(_) A 75 ohm coaxial cable is generally a round cable with F-type

connectors that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools.

F-type connector (Not supplied)

(_) A 300 ohm cable is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a

terminal using an antenna adapter.(Not supplied)

=, .......

Antenna connection panel

There are two separate 75 ohm F-type connector input terminals and a
converter output terminal as shown below.

ANT-1 OUT ANT-2

The ANT-1 and ANT-2 terminals are for connecting a VHF/UHF antenna

or cable TV system. The signal input through ANT-1 is also output from

the OUT terminal whenever the RF switch on the TV is in the ANT-2

position. You can switch between the ANT-1 and ANT-2 inputs in the

ANT 1/'2 menu or with the ANTIVIDEO button on the TV. See page 21.

Antenna/Cable TV

Connections (continued)

Generally, the cable TV system can be connected directly to the TV's antenna terminal just like a home antenna.
(A-l)

Some cable companies, however, offer premium pay channels. Since premium pay channel signals are scrambled, a
cable TV converter/decoder is generally provided to subscribers by the cable TV company. This decoder box is
necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. We recommend that you consult your cable TV company for
more specific instructions on installing cable "IV. (A-2)

Note:
You can connect another signal source such as an antenna or video game to the ANT-2 terminal.

(A-2) Cable with a decoder box (Scrambled and Unscrambled channels)

• The unscrambled channels are input through the

ANT-1 terminal whenever the ANT1/2 menu, or the
ANT/VIDEO button on the TV, is in "ANT 1" mode.
See page 21.

• The scrambled channels from the decoding device are

input through the ANT-2 terminal whenever the ANT

1/2 menu, or the ANT/VIDEO button, is in "ANT 2"
mode. Set the TV to channel 3 or 4to match the

output channel of the decoding device.

If you have a TOSHIBA VCR0your Remote Control has already been programmed for you.
Before attempting to operate your Remote Control, install the batteries according to "Battery installation" below.

Notes:

• After installing new batteries, the Remote Control will set itself to the codes for TOSHIBA TVs and VCRs. If you are
using the Remote Control to operate other manufacturer's equipment, you will have to reprogram those codes.

• This Remote Control may have functions not available on your VCR and cable box remote controllers.

These functions may or may not operate your VCR or cable box. 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 box may have keys not duplicated on this Remote Control. If
you want to use these functions, please use the original remote controller.

Battery installation

the battery cover.

Press and slide

__move.

Insert two "AA" size alkaline batteries, matching
the + and - signs on each battery with the + and -

signs in the battery compartment.

CAUTIONS

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

your batteries in a designated disposal area.

• Do not combine used batteries with new ones.

• Do not mix battery types.

Tips for best operation

• For optimum performance, aim the Remote Control

directly at the "IV from a distance within 16 feet (5 m),
and be sure there is no obstruction between the
Remote Control and the TV.

• If your Remote Control does not always operate the

TV as you wish, you probably need to replace the
batteries.Use alkaline batteries for longer use.

• If the Remote Control will not be used for a long

period of time or when the batteries are worn out,
remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

• Do not drop, dampen or disassemble the Remote

Control.

• This Remote Control is programmed to operate TOSHIBA VCRs.

• To operate VCRs (or Cable converters) other than TOSHIBA models,
perform the following procedures before operating.

Refer to the "VCR code table" (or "Cable TV converter code table_)
on pages 16 and 17 to find the code number that corresponds to the

--If the VCR does not respond to the Remote Control, repeat steps

1through 4 with another code number.

Notes:

• Some newer VCRs are capable of working on either of two remote
codes. These VCRs have a switch labeled "VCR 1NCR 2."

If your VCR has this kind of switch, and does not respond to any of
the code numbers for your VCR brand name, set the switch to the
other position ("VCR 1" or "VCR 2") and reprogram the Remote
Control.

• In some rare cases, you may not be able to operate your non-
