Important Information

Precautions
Installing your TV

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
Using your TV

The lightning symbol in the triangle tells you that the
voltage inside this product may be strong enough to
cause an electric shock. DO NOT TRY TO SERVICE
THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF.

The exclamation mark in the triangle tells you that
important operating and maintenance instructions
follow this symbol.

CAUTION

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS
POLARIZED PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD
RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE
PRONGS CAN BE FULLY INSERTED INTO THE
OUTLET TO PREVENT ANY EXPOSURE OF THE
PRONGS ON THE POLARIZED PLUG.
ATTENTION

POUR PRÉVENIR LES CHOCS ÉLECTRIQUES NE PAS
UTILISER CETTE FICHE POLARISÉE AVEC UN
PROLONGATEUR, UNE PRISE DE COURANT OU UNE
AUTRE SORTIE DE COURANT, SAUF SI LES LAMES
PEUVENT ÊTRE INSÉRÉS À FOND SANS EN LAISSER
AUCUNE PARTIE À DÉCOUVERT.
CAUTION

The plug has one prong wider than the other and will fit only
one way into a standard
wide prong
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.
Note to CATV system installers in the USA
This reminder is provided 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.

2

• Do not stand or climb on the TV.
• Do not put any heavy object on top of the TV.
• Do not place containers with liquids such as drinks or
cosmetics on the TV. If any foreign material or water leaks
into the TV, unplug the AC cord and contact your dealer.
• If the room temperature suddenly rises, 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.
• Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for
extended periods of time. Stationary patterns generated by a
picture-in-picture (PIP) display, Multi-Window display,
computer displays, video games, stock market reports, etc.,
can become permanently engrained on the picture tube. This
damage is not protected by your warranty because it is the
result of misuse. If you wish to use your TV to display still
images, reduce brightness and contrast settings. Never leave a
PIP, Multi-Window, computer, or video game display
unattended.
• 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.
Cleaning your TV

• Clean the TV with a soft dry cloth. Never use strong solvents
such as thinner or benzine which might damage the finish of
the cabinet. If the cabinet is very dirty, use a damp cloth to
wipe the cabinet clean, then finish with a dry cloth.

If you have not 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 an
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. On the rear panel of the
TV, the terminals are color-coded in the same manner as the
cables.
• S-video cables provide better picture performance than regular
video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video
compatible components.
• ColorStream™ (component video) 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
Setting up

This connection allows you to watch local channels and video
programs, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and record

Using the remote control

You can use the TV remote control to operate the TV, most VCR
models, and most cable TV converters together, even if they are
different brands. If you have a Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter,
the TV remote control is already programmed and ready to use. If you
have a non-Toshiba VCR or converter, you must first program the
remote control (see “Programming the remote control for use with a
non-Toshiba VCR or a cable TV converter” on page 12.)

Note:
The TV remote control may not operate your
VCR or cable TV converter.
Refer to the owner’s manual for your other
device to see which features are available. In
addition, the remote control for your other
device may have features not available on the
TV’s remote control. If you would like to
continue to use these features, you may want
to use the original remote control.

Using the
Remote Control

Connecting
your TV

The TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate Toshiba VCRs
and cable TV converters (see page 11). To use the remote control to
operate a non-Toshiba VCR or cable converter:
1. Refer to the VCR and cable TV converter code tables on pages 13

Adjusting the color convergence

Using the
Remote Control

Connecting
your TV

This projection TV uses three separate TV tubes: red, green, and blue.
The red, green, and blue images are projected onto the screen where
they converge to form a full-color picture. You can see a clear picture
only when the three images converge correctly. Convergence may drift
over time or if the TV is moved. If you can see clear images on the
screen, skip this procedure.
Make this adjustment after the TV has been on for at least 30
minutes.
To check and adjust the color convergence:
1. Press MENU, then press x or • until the PICTURE menu
appears.
2. Press y or z to highlight CONVERGENCE (see illustration
below left).
3. Press x or • to display the center CONVERGENCE menu (see
illustration below right).

2. Press y or z to highlight MTS.
3. Press x or • to highlight SAP (see notes at right).

Note:
A second audio program (SAP) can be heard
only on those TV stations that offer it. For
example, a station might broadcast music as
a second audio program. If you have SAP on,
you will see the current program but hear
music instead of the program’s normal audio.
However, if the TV is in SAP mode but the
current station is not broadcasting a second
audio program, you will see a picture but may
not hear any sound. If this happens, put the
TV in STEREO mode.

Index

You can leave the TV in STEREO mode because it will
automatically output the type of sound being broadcast (stereo or
monaural).
If the stereo sound is noisy, select MONO to reduce the noise.
The word STEREO or SAP displays in yellow in the menu when
the TV receives the signal.
