CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
Installation
To install the TV
INTRODUCTION
Downward spot lights or fluorescent lights in an
overhead “Honeycomb” prevent direct
illumination of the screen.
Use curtains or
blinds to shut out
direct sunlight.
Cover shiny surfaces (floor and walls) with nonreflective 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 the TV 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 TV. 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.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
Antenna/Cable TV
INTRODUCTION
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 TV by connecting the cable supplied by your local cable
company.
Types of antenna cables
TV rear
Shown below are two basic types of antenna cables.
Signals from a home antenna may be conveyed by either type. Cable TV
signals are conveyed by a 75 ohm coaxial cable.
1 A 75 ohm coaxial cable is generally a round cable with F-type
connectors that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools.

ANT( 75
)
ANT-1

ANT-2
2 A 300 ohm cable is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be attached to a
terminal using the supplied antenna adapter.
Antenna connection panel
There are two separate 75 ohm F-type connector input terminals and a
converter output terminal as shown at the left.
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 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 ANT/VIDEO button on the TV. See page 21.

(continued)
To connect a Cable TV
Generally, the cable TV system can be connected directly to the TV’s antenna terminal just like a home antenna.
(A-1)
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 TV. (A-2)

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

mode. Set the TV to channel 3 or 4 to match the
output channel of the decoding device.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
Before Using the Remote
Control
Introduction and battery installation
With this Remote Control, you can operate your TV and most VCR and cable box models regardless of the
manufacturer. However, this Remote Control must first be programmed to control other VCR and cable box brands.
See page 15.
If you have a TOSHIBA VCR, your Remote Control has already been programmed for you.
Before attempting to operate your Remote Control, install the batteries according to “To install the batteries” 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.
To install the batteries
INTRODUCTION

Tips for best operation
• For optimum performance, aim the Remote Control
directly at the TV 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.
