Important Information

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO

NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

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

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.

Precautions

Installing your TV

• 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

• 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.

Connecting your TV

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.

Connecting a VCR

This connection allows you to watch local channels and video

programs, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and record

from one channel while watching another channel.

You will need:

•one coaxial cable

•one pair of audio cables (one single audio cable for a mono VCR)

•one video cable

Caution:

Do not plug the TV in until you have finished

connecting all of your equipment.

Note:

If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to

VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.

If you have an S-VHS VCR, use an S-video

cable instead of a regular video cable.

Do not connect a regular video cable and an

S-video cable to Video-1 (or Video-2) at the

same time.

Using the remote control

Preparing the remote control for use

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.)

Installing the remote control batteries

To install the batteries:

1. Slide the battery cover off of the back of the remote control.

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.

Using the remote control with a Toshiba VCR

or cable TV converter

To control a Toshiba VCR:

Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the VCR position. The

shaded buttons in the illustration at right will then control the

VCR. The other buttons will operate the TV as usual.

To control a Toshiba cable TV converter:

Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the CABLE position. The

shaded buttons in the top of the illustration at right will then

control the cable TV converter. The other buttons will operate the

TV as usual.

If you own a non-Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter and want to use

the TV remote control to operate it, see “Programming the remote

control for use with a non-Toshiba VCR or 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.

Caution:

• Dispose of batteries in a designated

disposal area. Do not throw 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.

Programming the remote control for use with a

non-Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter

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

and 14 to find the corresponding code for your VCR or cable TV

converter.

If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you

find the one that works.

2. If you are programming the remote control to operate your:

•VCR, set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch on the remote control

to VCR.

•Cable converter, set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch on the

remote control to CABLE.

3. While holding down RECALL, press the Number buttons (0–9)

to enter the three-digit code for your brand of VCR or converter.

4. Point the remote control at the VCR or converter and press

POWER to test the code.

If the VCR or converter responds, you have entered the right

code.

If the VCR or converter does not respond, you may have entered

the wrong code. Repeat steps 1–4 using another code.

5. Reset the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to TV to control the TV.

For future reference, write down the codes you used:

VCR code: _____________________

Cable TV converter code: _____________________

Note:

• Each time you replace the batteries, you

must reprogram the remote control.

• Some newer VCRs are capable of working

on either of two remote codes. These VCRs

have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.” If

your VCR has this kind of switch and does

not respond to any of the codes for your

VCR brand, set the switch to the other

position (VCR1 or VCR2) and reprogram

the remote control.

Adjusting the color convergence

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

Switching between two channels

You can switch between two channels without entering an actual

channel number each time.

To switch between two channels:

1. Select the first channel you want to view.

2. Select a second channel using the Channel Number buttons

To program your favorite channels:

1. Press MENU, and then press x or • until the CUSTOM menu

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.
