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 wide prong 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 areas too.

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, aquariums, or lighted candles on the TV. If any foreign material or water leaks into the TV, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer.

• Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for extended periods of time. Stationary patterns (such as those generated by computer displays, video games, or stock market reports) 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 computer or video game display unattended.

Cleaning your TV

• To clean the TV screen:

1. Unplug the TV from the power outlet to avoid possible shock hazard.

2. Use a clean, dry cellulose sponge or chamois cloth to clean TV screen and trim. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaning agents. Liquid spilling into the TV cabinet may cause electric shock or damage the TV.

CAUTION

Never use strong solvents such as thinner, benzene, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they can damage the finish of the cabinet.

Selecting a location for your TV

• Place the TV 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.

NOTE: Before installing your TV, please read the Important

Information on page 2.

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 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; red and white for audio. The red audio cable is for the stereo right channel; the white audio cable is for the stereo (or mono) left channel. If you look at the back panel of the TV, you will see that the terminals are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.

AUDIO/VIDEO Cables

S-Video Cable

NOTE REGARDING PICTURE QUALITY

When connecting video equipment, such as a VCR or DVD player:

– For GOOD picture quality: Use regular video cables.

– For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has S-video connections, use S-video cables instead of regular video cables.

– For BEST picture quality: If your equipment has component video connections (ColorStream™ is Toshiba’s brand), use component video cables instead of regular or S-video cables. Component video cables come in sets of three.

Note: Do not connect an S-video cable and a regular video cable to

VIDEO-1 (on the TV) at the same time. Doing so will distort the picture.

ColorStream (component video) Cable

Caution:

Do not plug in the TV power cord until you have finished connecting all of your equipment.

Connecting a VCR

This connection allows you to watch TV and video programs and record 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 (for video cable type, see “Note Regarding

Picture Quality” above).

Preparing the remote control for use

Your TV remote control can operate your TV together with most VCR models and cable TV converters, even if they are different brands.

If you have a Toshiba VCR, your TV remote control is already programmed to operate it (see page 10).

If you have a non-Toshiba VCR and/or cable TV converter, you must first program your remote control so it will operate the other equipment (see pages 11–13).

Installing the remote control batteries

1

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

Press and slide to remove.

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.

2

Install two “AA” size batteries, making sure to match the + and – signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.

Note:

If your Toshiba TV remote control does not operate all of the features of your VCR or cable

TV converter, you may need to use the remote control that came with your other equipment.

3

Slide the battery cover back onto the remote control until the lock snaps.

Find the code for your brand of VCR or cable TV converter in the code tables on pages 12–13.

If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you find one that works.

2

Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to VCR (for a VCR), or CABLE (for a cable TV converter).

3

While holding down RECALL, press the Channel Number buttons to enter the 3-digit code for your brand of VCR or converter.

4

To test the code, turn the VCR or converter on, point the remote control at it, and press POWER.

–If the correct code was entered, the VCR or converter will turn off.

–If the VCR or converter does not respond, repeat steps 1–4 using another code.

–If the VCR or converter does not respond to a different code, you will need to use the remote control that came with your VCR or converter.

5

Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to TV to control the TV.

For future reference, write down the code(s) you used:

VCR Code

Cable TV Converter Code

Note:

You must reprogram the remote control when you change the batteries.

Some newer VCRs respond to either of two codes. These VCRs have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.” If your VCR has this kind of switch and does not respond to the codes for your VCR brand, set the switch to the other position (“VCR1” or

“VCR2”) and reprogram the remote control.
