S3126A
9. VENTILATION
Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the unit
and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be
blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This unit should never be placed near or over
a radiator or heat source. This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase, or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

and power line surges.
14. POWER LINES
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
15. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts
that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, 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 dis-
charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
18. SERVICING
Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE
Unplug this unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to its normal operation.
e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.
20. REPLACEMENT PARTS
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manu-
facturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
21. SAFETY CHECK
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine
that the unit is in proper operating condition.
22. HEAT
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

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.
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.
Do not tamper with the plug or try to force
it into a non-standard outlet.
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.

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.)
• 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.
• ColorStreamTM cables come in sets of three and provide the best
picture performance. ColorStream cables can only be used with
ColorStream compatible components.
Caution:
Do not plug the TV in until you have finished
connecting all of your 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 which requires the use of a Con-
verter/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 Scram-
bled 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 (some-
times 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.

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:
