CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.  
d. When the TV set has been subject to excessive shock by being  
dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.  
d. Cuando el televisor haya estado expuesto a golpes excesivos o haya  
caído, o su caja se haya dañado.  
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.  
e. When the TV set does not operate normally even though you follow  
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are  
specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of  
other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive  
work by a qualified technician to restore the TV set to normal

exterior, tenga en cuenta las precauciones siguientes.  
e. Cuando el televisor no funcione normalmente incluso al seguir las  
instrucciones de operación. Ajuste solamente los controles indicados  
en las instrucciones de operación, ya que un ajuste inadecuado de  
otros controles podría resultar en daños y a menudo requerirán un  
trabajo difícil por un técnico cualificado para devolver el televisor a  
su funcionamiento normal.  
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.  
Cuando el funcionamiento del televisor haya cambiado  
notablemente — esto indica la necesidad del servicio de reparación.  
Servicing — Do not attempt to service the TV set yourself. To open or  
remove the covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other  
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
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.

apertura o extracción de cubiertas podría exponerle a tensiones  
peligrosas u otros peligros. En caso de avería solicite los servicios de  
personal de reparación cualificado.  
Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are required, be sure  
the service technician certifies in writing that he has used replacement  
parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as  
the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric  
shock, or other hazards.

cerciórese de que el técnico de reparación utilice las piezas de reemplazo  
especificadas por el fabricante u otras que posean las mismas  
características que las originales. Las substituciones no autorizadas  
podrían resultar en incendios, descargas eléctricas, u otros peligros.

set, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks (as  
specified by the manufacturer) to determine that the TV set is in safe  
operating condition, and to so certify.

Connecting your TV  
If you have not connected electronic equipment before, or you have  
NOTE REGARDING  
PICTURE QUALITY  
been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section.  
When connecting video equipment,  
such as a VCR or DVD player:  
Note: 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.  
For GOOD picture quality: Use  
regular video cables.  
• Audio and video cables are usually color coded according to use:  
yellow for video; red and white for audio. The red audio cable is for  
the stereo right channel; 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.  
For BETTER picture quality: If your  
equipment has S-video connections,  
use S-video cables instead of regular  
video cables.  
For BEST picture quality: If your  
equipment has ColorStream  
(component video) connections,  
use component video cables  
instead of regular or S-video cables.  
Component video cables come in  
sets of three.  
• S-video cables provide better picture performance than standard  
video cables. S-video cables can be used only with S-video compat-  
ible components.  
• ColorStreamTM (component video) cables come in sets of three.  
A ColorStream (component video) connection will provide the best  
picture performance.  
Note: 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 distort the picture.

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 AAsize batteries. Match the + and symbols on  
RECALL

using another code.  
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  
and does not respond to any of the codes  
for your VCR brand, set the switch to the  
other position (VCR1 or VCR2) and  
reprogram the remote control.  
5. Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to “TV” to control the TV.

Blocking programs by ratings  
Note:  
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) uses a rating  
system to qualify motion picture content. Television broadcasters

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
