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 cables 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 panels provide all the inputs you will
need to connect other equipment to your TV.

Connecting your TV
• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.
• Standard A/V (audio/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 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.
• An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a
standard video cable. S-video cables can only be used with S-video
compatible components.
• 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.
NOTICE: RISK OF EQUIP-
MENT DAMAGE!
Do not plug in any power cords
until you have finished connecting
all equipment.

Connecting a cable 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. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing
requires the use of a descrambler device, which is generally provided
by the cable company.
For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service
For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box,
connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack
on the back of the television.
For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service
If you subscribe to a cable 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 to Unscrambled Basic Cable with
Scrambled Premium Channels
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are
unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/
Descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter
(sometimes called 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/Descrambler box
(usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.
Note:
When you use a converter box with your TV,
there may be features that you cannot
program using the remote control, such as
labeling channels, blocking channels, and
programming your favorite channels.

Connecting a DVD player with ColorStream®
(component video) and a VCR
This connection allows you to watch DVD, VCR, or TV programs and
record TV programs. You can record from one source while watching a
program from another source. Your TV is capable of using ColorStream
(component video). Connecting your TV to a component video compatible
DVD player, such as a Toshiba DVD player with ColorStream®, can
greatly enhance picture quality and performance.
You will need:
• two coaxial cables
• one set of standard A/V cables
• one set of component video cables
• one pair of standard audio cables
Note:
The ColorStream inputs on this TV are for use
with devices that output 480i interlaced
signals ONLY. This TV will not accept or
display 480p or 720p progressive scan
signals or 1080i interlaced high-definition
signals. If you connect a high-definition set-
top receiver, 480p progressive scan DVD
player, or other similar device to the TV’s
ColorStream inputs, YOU MUST SWITCH
THE DEVICE’S OUTPUT TO 480i INTER-
LACED MODE FIRST. Failure to do this will

Using the remote control
Preparing the remote control for use
Note:
With the remote control, you can operate your TV, most cable TV
converters/satellite receivers, VCRs, and DVD players together, even if
they are different brands. If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba
satellite receiver, VCR, or DVD player, your remote control is already
programmed and ready to use. If you own different brands of cable TV
converters/satellite receivers, VCRs, and/or DVD players, you must
first program your remote control. (See “Programming the remote
control to operate your other devices" on page 12.)
The TV remote control may not operate your
VCR, DVD player, or cable TV converter.
Refer to the owner's manual supplied with
your other devices to see which features
may be available. Additionally, the remote
control for this TV may not support certain
features available on the original remote
controls for your other devices, in which case
it is suggested that you use the original
remote control for the applicable device.
Installing the remote control batteries
Caution:
• Never throw batteries into a fire.
To install the batteries:
1. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote control.
Notes:
• Be sure to use AAA size batteries.
• Dispose of batteries in a designated
disposal area.
• Batteries should always be disposed of with
the environment in mind. Always dispose of
batteries in accordance with applicable
laws and regulations.
• If the remote control does not operate
correctly, or if the operating range becomes
reduced, replace batteries with new ones.
• When necessary to replace batteries in the
remote control, always replace both
batteries with new ones. Never mix battery
types or use new and used batteries in
combination.
2. Install two “AAA” size batteries. Match the + and – signs on the
batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.
• Always remove batteries from remote
control if they are dead or if the remote
control is not to be used for an extended
period of time. This will prevent battery acid
from leaking into the battery compartment.
3. Close the battery cover on the remote control until the lock snaps.

TV screen for extended periods of time.
Fixed (non-moving) patterns or images
(including but not limited to PIP/POP
windows, closed captions, video game
patterns, TV station logos, stock tickers,
websites, and special formats that do not
use the entire screen) can become
permanently ingrained in the cathode ray
tube(s) of the TV and cause subtle but
permanent ghost images. This type of
damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR
WARRANTY.

Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts
You can listen to high-fidelity stereo sound with the Multi-channel TV
Sound (MTS) feature. MTS can also transmit a second audio program
(SAP) containing a second language or other audio information.
When the TV receives a stereo or SAP broadcast, the word STEREO
or SAP appears on-screen every time the TV is turned on, the channel
is changed, or the DISPLAY button is pressed.
The MTS feature is not available in the VIDEO mode.
You can leave your TV in STEREO mode because it will automatically
output stereo or monaural sound, depending on the broadcast type.
If the stereo sound is noisy, select MONO to reduce the noise.
The word STEREO or SAP is displayed in light blue when the TV
receives the signal.
To select the desired MTS setting:
Repeatedly press the MTS button to select either STEREO, SAP,
MONO+SAP, or MONO. If the current program is not available in
stereo or SAP or not broadcasting in stereo or SAP, the setting will not
be available when you press the MTS button.
