Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen
for extended periods of time. Stationary patterns generated
by computer displays, video games, stock market reports,
etc. can become permanently engrained on the picture
tube. This damage is not protected by your warranty as it
is the result of misuse. Should you wish to use your
TOSHIBA Television to display still images, it is always
advisable to reduce brightness and contrast settings.
Never leave a computer or video game display unattended.
Note to CATV system installer in the USA:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that
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.

Preparation
Basic Operation
Installing Your TV
Where to install
Place the TV 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 household
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 standard
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 installed by an
electrician.
DO NOT CHANGE

PLUG.

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” on page 8.)
Installing the Remote Control batteries
1
Slide the battery cover off of the back of the Remote Control.
Press and slide to remove.
2
Install two “AA” size batteries. Match the + and – signs on the batteries to
the signs on the battery compartment.
3
Slide the battery cover back on to the Remote Control until the lock
snaps.
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.
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.

Details are on page 8.
●
To control a cable TV converter, this Remote Control must be programmed to recognize the brand of your
converter. See page 8.
The shaded buttons can be used to 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 “VCR1/VCR2”.
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.

●
In some rare cases, you may not be able to operate your non-Toshiba equipment with the supplied Remote
Control. This is because your equipment may use a code that is not provided with this Remote Control. In this
case, please use the equipment’s own remote control.
