ANTENNA / ANTENA

Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below.

An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.

WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,

EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM

CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS

CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section

810 of the National Electrical Code in the USA and Section 54 of the

Canadian Electrical Code in Canada provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Puesta a tierra de la antena exterior — Cuando instale una antena exterior, tenga en cuenta las precauciones siguientes.

Un sistema de antena esterior no deberá colocarse cerca de líneas de alta tensión ni otros circuitos de iluminación o alimentación, ni donde pueda entrar en contacto con tales líneas o circuitos.

CUANDO INSTALE UN SISTEMA DE ANTENA EXTERIOR,

TENGA EXTREMADO CUIDADO PARA EVITAR QUE ENTRE

EN CONTACTO CON TALES LÍNEAS DE ALIMENTACIÓN O

CIRCUITOS, YA QUE TAL CONTACTO PODRÍA RESULTAR

INVARIABLEMENTE FATAL.

Cerciórese de que el sistema de antena esté puesto a tierra a fin de que proporcione cierta protección contra sobretensiones y cargas estáticas.

La Sección 810 del Código Eléctrico Nacional (NEC) de EE.UU. y la

Sección 54 del Código Eléctrico Canadiense ofrecen informacón con respecto a la puesta a tierra adecuada de una unidad de descarga de antena, el tamaño de los conductores de puesta a tierra, la ubicación de la unidad de descarga de la antena, la conexión de los electrodos de puesta a tierra, y los requisitos de tales electrodos.

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.

The model number and serial number are on the back of your TV.

Record these numbers in the spaces below. Refer to these numbers whenever you communicate with your Toshiba dealer about this TV.

Model number: CN36V51

Serial number: ________________________

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.

Connecting your TV

If you haven’t connected electronic equipment before, or you have been frustrated by it in the past, you may wish to read this section.

(Cables, switches and splitters 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 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. 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.

• S-video cables provide better picture performance. S-video cables can only be used with S-video compatible components.

• ColorStream TM cables come in sets of three and provide the best picture performance. ColorStream cables can only be used with

ColorStream compatible components.

Using the remote control

Preparing the remote control for use

With the remote control, you can operate your TV, most VCR models, and cable TV converters together, even if they are different brands. If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba VCR, your remote control is already programmed and ready to use. If you own different brands of VCRs and/or converters, you first have to program your remote control. (See “Programming the remote control for use with a VCR or a cable TV converter” on page 8.)

Note:

This remote control’s functions may or may not operate your VCR or cable TV converter.

Refer to the owner’s manuals supplied with the equipment to see which features are available. In addition, the original controllers may have features not available on this remote control. If you would like to continue to use these features, you may want to use the original remote control.

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 alkaline batteries. Match the + and - signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.

Caution:

• Dispose of your batteries in a designated disposal area. Do not throw your 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.

3. Slide the battery cover back on to the remote control until the lock snaps.

Using the remote control with a VCR or a cable

TV converter

To control a Toshiba VCR:

Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the VCR position. The buttons shown to the right will then control the VCR. The rest of the buttons will operate the TV as usual.

Programming the remote control for use with a

VCR or a cable TV converter

This remote control is pre-programmed to operate Toshiba VCRs. To use VCRs or cable converters other than Toshiba models, you must follow the steps below before you operate your remote control.

1. Refer to the “VCR code table” or “Cable TV converter code table” on pages 9-10 to find the number that corresponds to the brand name of your VCR or converter.

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

2. If you are reprogramming 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. Hold down the RECALL button while using the Channel

Number buttons to enter the three-digit code number of your brand of VCR or converter.

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

POWER to test the code number.

If the VCR or converter turns on, you have entered the right number.

If the VCR or converter does not respond to the remote control, you may have entered the wrong number. Repeat steps 1-4 with another code number.

For future reference, write down the code numbers you used:

VCR 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, it may not respond to any of the code numbers for your VCR brand name. In this case, set the switch to the other position (VCR1 or

VCR2) and reprogram the remote control.

Blocking programs by ratings

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) uses a rating system to qualify motion picture content. Television broadcasters employ a rating system to qualify the content of television programs, as well. The MPAA, Youth TV and TV ratings work with the V-Chip feature and allow you to block out programming above the rating limits you determine.

Note:

If you forget your PIN code, press RECALL four times within five seconds from the V-CHIP menu. This allows you to proceed to the

BLOCKING menu and reset your PIN code.

Appendix

Cleaning and care

WARNING:

TV sets use high voltage. Do not try to remove the cabinet back. Refer servicing to qualified service technicians.

To clean the TV screen:

1. Unplug the TV to avoid possible shock hazard.

2. Use a clean cellulose sponge or chamois cloth dampened with a solution of mild detergent and warm water to clean the TV screen and trim. Do not use too much water because water spills into the cabinet can cause damage to the TV.

3. Wipe off any excess moisture with a clean dry cloth.

4. Polish the cabinet with a quality furniture polish to maintain the finish and appearance of the cabinet.

Caution:

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