Welcome to Toshiba

Congratulations! You have purchased one of the finest color TVs on the

market. The goal of this manual is to guide you through setting up and

operating your Toshiba TV as quickly as possible. Please make sure

you've received the following items: TV, remote control, batteries,

manual, registration card, and extended service plan literature. If you

did not receive all of the items, or any of the items are damaged or

broken, please contact your Toshiba dealer. In addition, you may need

to purchase other audio or video cables to connect your equipment.

See "Connecting your TV" on page 4 for more information.

Please read all the safety and operating instructions carefully before

you begin.

Exploring your new TV

You can operate your TV by using the buttons on the front panel or the

remote control. All the terminals on the front and the back panels

provide all the connections you will need to connect other equipment to

your TV.

Remote Control Sensor Channel Audio (L/R)/Video In

Power

Power indicator Volume Phones

TV front panel

TV back panel

Selecting a location for the TV

• Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location where

light does not directly hit the screen.

• Place the TV far enough from the walls to allow proper ventilation.

Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which may damage

the TV.

The model number and serial number are on the back of your TV.

Record these numbers in the spaces below. Refer to these numbers

whenever you communicate with your Toshiba dealer about this TV.

Model number:

Serial number:

Caution:

The power plug has one prong wider than

the other and will fit only one way into a

standard electrical outlet (120 volt AC, 60 Hz).

If the plug does not fit into the outlet, try

turning it around. If the plug still does not fit,

the outlet is probably non-standard and must

be replaced by a qualified electrician.

Do not tamper with the plug or try to force

it into a non-standard outlet.

Connecting your TV

If you haven't connected electronic equipment before, or you have

been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section. (Cables

are not supplied.)

•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.

Caution:

Do not plug the TV in until you have finished

connecting all of your equipment.

Connecting a VCR

This connection allows you to watch local channels and video programs,

play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and to record from one

channel while watching another channel.

Cable Lead-in

from cable box

or antenna Stereo VCR

You will need:

• one coaxial cable

• one pair of audio cables (only one cable for

a mono VCR)

• one video cable

Caution:

If using a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to

VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.

If you have a S-VHS VCR, use the S-video

connections and remove the video cable.

Note:

Do not connect a regular video cable and an

S-video cable to Video I simultaneously.

Connecting a cable converter box

This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable

channels without using a cable company supplied converter box. Some

cable companies offer "premium pay channels" in which the signal is

scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the

use of a descrambler device, which is generally provided by the cable

company.

For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service

For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box,

connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack

on the back of the television.

For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service

If you subscribe to a cable service that requires the use of a Converter/

Descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the Converter/

Descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the Antenna

Jack on the back of the television. Follow the connections shown

below. Set the television to the output of the Converter/Descrambler

box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the ConverteriDescrambler box to

select channels.

For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with Scram-

bled Premium Channels

If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are

unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/

Descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (some-

times called a "two-set coupler") and an A/B Switch box from the cable

installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown

below. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune any

nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A" position,

tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually

channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.

Incoming CATV

Note:

When you use a converter box with your TV,

there may be features that you cannot

program using the remote control, such as

labeling channels, blocking channels, and

programming your favorite channels.
