29) [This item applies to projection TVs only.] If the air
temperature rises suddenly (for example, when the TV is
first delivered), condensation may form on the lenses. This
can make the picture appear distorted or the color appear
faded. If this happens, turn off the TV for 6 to 7 hours to
allow the condensation to evaporate.
23) Always operate this equipment from
a 120 VAC, 60 Hz power source only.
30) For added protection of your TV from lightning and power
surges, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the
antenna from the TV if you leave the TV unattended or
unused for long periods of time.
24) Always make sure the antenna system is properly
grounded to provide adequate protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges (see Section 810 of the
National Electric Code).

DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH!
• Use extreme care to make sure you are never in
a position where your body (or any item you are in contact
with, such as a ladder or screwdriver) can accidentally
touch overhead power lines. Never locate the antenna
near overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.
• Never attempt to install any of the following during
lightning activity:
a) an antenna system; or b) cables, wires, or any home
theater component connected to an antenna or phone
system.
• Fixed Images, such as PIP/POP windows, stock tickers,
video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.
• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For
example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a
normal (4:3) display (gray bars at top and bottom of
screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a
widescreen (16:9) display (gray bars on left and right
sides of screen).

26) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and
as directly in front of it as possible. The picture can appear
dull if you sit too far to the left or right of the TV, or if
sunlight or room lights reflect on the screen. Turn the TV
off to check for reflections on the screen, and then remove
the source of reflections while viewing the TV.
removing the covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to a
Toshiba Authorized Service Center.
QUALIFIED
SERVICE
TECHNICIAN
34) If you have the TV serviced:
• Ask the service technician to use only replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer.
• Upon completion of service, ask
the service technician to perform
routine safety checks to determine
that the TV is in safe operating
condition.
27) Always unplug the TV before
cleaning. Never use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
35) When the TV reaches the end of its useful life, ask a
qualified service technician to properly dispose of the TV.

Selecting a location for the TV
• Place the TV on the floor or on the TV stand listed in the “Specifications” section.
• 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.
The serial number is on the back of your TV. Record the number in the space below. Refer to the
model and serial numbers whenever you communicate with your Toshiba dealer about this TV.

Connecting your TV
Note: Cables are not supplied with your TV.
ꢀ
Coaxial cable is the cable that comes in from your antenna, cable TV service,
or cable converter box. Coaxial cable uses “F” connectors.
Coaxial (antenna) cable
ꢀ
Standard A/V (audio/video) cables usually come in sets of three, and are
typically color-coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio,
and white for stereo left (or mono) audio. On your TV’s back panel, the standard
A/V inputs are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.
Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)
S-video cable
ꢀ
ꢀ
S-Video cable is for use with video equipment that has an S-Video input.
Component video cables come in sets of three, and are for use with video
equipment that has component video inputs. (ColorStream® is Toshiba’s brand
of component video.)
NOTE REGARDING PICTURE QUALITY
When connecting video equipment to your Toshiba TV:
Component video cables
ꢀ
ꢀ
For GOOD picture quality: Use a standard yellow video cable.
For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has an S-video input, use an
S-video cable instead of a standard yellow video cable. (You still must
connect the standard red and white audio cables for full system connection,
but do not connect the standard yellow video cable at the same time, or the
picture performance will be unacceptable.)
CAUTION: Do not plug in any power cords
until you have finished connecting all equipment.
ꢀ
For BEST picture quality: If your equipment has component video inputs,
use component video cables instead of a standard video or S-video cable.
(You still must connect the standard red and white audio cables for full system
connection, but do not connect the standard yellow video cable or an S-Video
cable at the same time.)
Connecting a VCR
This connection allows you to watch local channels and video pro-
grams, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and record
from one channel while watching another channel.
Note:
You will need:
• one coaxial cable
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.
• one pair of audio cables (one single audio cable for a mono VCR)
• one video cable (see “Note Regarding Picture Quality,” above)
Do not connect a regular video cable and an
S-video cable to Video-1 (or Video-2) at the
same time. Doing so will cause unacceptable
picture performance.

Note:
Using the remote control
The remote control provided with your TV
may or may not operate certain features on
your VCR, cable TV converter, or other
electronic equipment. Refer to the owner’s
manuals provided with your other equipment
to see which features are available. In
addition, the other remote controls may have
buttons not available on your TV’s remote
control. If you would like to use those features
or buttons, you may need to use the original
remote controls provided with your other
equipment.
Preparing the remote control for use
The remote control will operate your TV, most VCR models, and
most cable TV converters together, even if they are different brands.
• If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba VCR or cable TV
converter, your remote control is already programmed and ready
to use. See “Using the remote control with a Toshiba VCR or
cable TV converter” below.
• If you own a non-Toshiba VCR or converter and want to use your
TV remote control to operate it, you will need to program the
remote control. See “Programming the remote control for use
with a non-Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter” on page 13.
Caution:
• Dispose of batteries in a designated
disposal area. Do not throw batteries
into a fire.
Installing the remote control batteries
To install the batteries:
1. Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote control.
• 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. Match the + and – symbols on
the batteries to the symbols on the battery compartment.

for your VCR brand, set the switch to the
other position (VCR1 or VCR2) and
reprogram the remote control.

Blocking programs by ratings
Note:
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) uses a rating
system to qualify motion picture content. Television broadcasters
employ a similar rating system to qualify the content of television
programs. The MPAA, Youth TV, and TV ratings work with the
V-Chip feature to allow you to block access to programs that exceed
the rating limits you set.
Press RECALL to see the rating of the program
you are viewing. Not all programs are rated,
however. To block programs or movies that are
not rated, see “Blocking unrated movies and
programs” on page 23.
