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 cabies 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 paneIs provide aII the inputs you will need to connect other equipment to your TV.

Semecting a mocation for the TV

o Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location where light does not directly hit the screen.

o Place the TV far enough from the walIs to allow proper ventilation.

Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which may damage the TV.

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.) o A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your antenna or cabIe converter box. Coaxial cables use "F" connectors.

o Standard AN (audio/video) cables are usually color coded according to use: yelIow for video and red and white for audio. The red audio cabIe 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.

o S-video cables provide better picture performance.

S-video cables can onty be used with S-video compatible components.

o 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.

Caution:

Connecting a cabme 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.

Descrambiing these signaIs for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device, which is generally provided by the cable company.

For Subscribers to Basic CabJe TV Service

For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambier box, connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack on the back of the television.

For Subscribers to Scrambled CabJe TV Service

If you subscribe to a cabie 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 Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.

For Subscribers

Scrambled to Unscrambled

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 Converter/

Descrambier box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes caIled 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/Descrambter box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.

Note:

#_hen you use a converter box with your TV, t,_ere may be features that you cannot

program using the remote control

such as labeling channels, blocking channels, and programming your fa vorite channels.
