This is a reminder to call the CATV system installer's
attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC, which 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. For additional antenna grounding information,
see items 25 and 26 on page 4.

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.
You may need to purchase other audio or video cables to connect your
equipment. See "Connecting your TV" on page 7 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. The front and back panels provide all the inputs you will
need to connect other equipment to your TV.

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.

Connecting your TV
• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use "F" connectors.
• Standard AN (audio/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 left (or mono) 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.
• An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a
standard video cable. S-video cables can only be used with S-video
compatible components.
• Component video cables come in sets of three and provide the best
picture performance. Component video cables can only be used
with component video compatible components.

Note:
If using a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to

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 Converted
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 Converter/Descrambler
box to
select channels.
For Subscribers
to Unscrambled
Scrambled
Premium Channels

Basic Cable

with

If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are
unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converted
Descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes 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.

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.

This connection allows you to watch DVD/satellite, VCR, or TV programs.
To satellite

DVD player/Satellite

Receiver

You will need:
• three coaxial cables
• two sets of standard AN cables
• one S-video cable
Note:
You can use a standard video cable instead of
the S-video cable, but the picture quafity will
decrease. If you use an S-video cable
between the TV and DVD player/satellite
receiver, make the audio connections but
remove the standard video cable. Do not
connect both an S-video and a standard video
cable to VIDE01 at the same time or the
picture performance will be unacceptable.

Connecting a DVD player with ColorStream ®
(component video) and a VCR
This connection allows you to watch DVD, VCR, or TV programs and
record TV programs.You can record from one source while watching a
program from another source. Your TV is capable of using ColorStream
(component video). Connecting your TV to a component video compatible DVD player, such as a Toshiba DVD player with ColorStream ®, can
greatly enhance picture quality and performance.

You will need:
• two coaxial cables
• one set of component video cables
• one pair of standard audio cables

Note:
The ColorStream inputs on this TV are for use
with devices that output 480i interlaced
signals ONLY This TV will not accept or
display 480p or 720p progressive scan
signals or 1080i interlaced high-definition
signals. If you connect a high-definition settop receiver, 480p progressive scan DVD
player, or other similar device to the TV's
ColorStream inputs, YOU MUST SWITCH
THE DEVICE'S OUTPUT TO 480i INTERLACED MODE FIRST Failure to do this will
