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.
• 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.
• S-video cables provide better picture performance. 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.
Caution:
Do not plug the TV in until you have finished
connecting all of your equipment.
• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is for use with video
equipment that has an HDMI type A connector (see page 14).

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 incoming 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 (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.

Connecting a DVD player with ColorStream®
(component video) and a VCR
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
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 compat-
ible DVD player, such as a Toshiba DVD player with ColorStream®, can
greatly enhance picture quality and performance.
Note:
For the highest possible picture quality, use
component video cables between TV and
DVD player. You can connect the component
video cables to either set of ColorStream
jacks on the TV (HD-1 or HD-2).
DVD player with ColorStream®
The ColorStream HD-1 and HD-2 jacks can
be used with Progressive (480p, 720p) and
Interlaced (480i, 1080i) scan systems. A
1080i signal will provide the best picture
performance.
If your DVD player does not have component
video, use the S-video and standard audio
connections instead. Do not connect both an
S-video and a standard video cable to
VIDEO1 (or VIDEO2) at the same time or the
picture performance will be unacceptable.

uncompressed digital video from an HDMI device or
uncompressed video from a DVI[2] device.
[3] HDCP = High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection.
[4] EIA/CEA-861/861B compliance covers the
transmission of uncompressed digital video with high-
bandwidth digital content protection, which is being
standardized for reception of high-definition video
signals.
This input is designed to accept HDCP[3] program material
in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861B– compliant[4]
consumer electronic devices (such as a settop box or DVD
player with HDMI or DVI output.
The HDMI input is designed for best performance with
1080i high-definition video signals, but will also accept and
display 480i, 480p, and 720p signals.
Because this is an evolving technology, it is possible
that some devices may not operate properly with the
TV.
Note: This TV is not intended for connection to and
should not be used with a personal computer.
To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset
properly, it is recommended that you follow these
procedures:
• When turning on your electronic components, turn
on the TV first, and then the HDMI or DVI device.
• When turning off your electronic components, turn
off the HDMI or DVI device first,and then the TV.
To connect an HDMI device, you will need:
• one HDMI cable (type A connector)
For proper operation, it is recommended that you use
a short HDMI cable. You should not encounter
difficulty if you use an HDMI cable which is shorter
than 16.4ft (5m).
To connect a DVI device, you will need:
• one HDMI–to–DVI adapter cable
(HDMI type A connector)
HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate
analog audio cables are not required (see illustration
below).
For proper operation, the length of an HDMI-to-DVI
adapter cable should not exceed 9.8 ft (3m). The
recommended length is 6.6 ft (2m).
You must set the HDMI setting to HDMI in the
AUDIO menu (see page 41).
• one pair of standard analog audio cables
An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers only video.
Separate analog audio cables are required (see
illustration below).
Some CDVs (Video CDs) may not output digital audio
signals. In that case, you may hear sound by connecting
analog audio cables. If you connect analog audio cables
with this connection (see “To connect a DVI device, you
will need” in right column).
You must set the HDMI setting to DVI in the AUDIO
menu (see page 41).

Using the remote control
Preparing the remote control for use
With the remote control, you can operate your TV, most cable TV
converters/satellite receivers, VCR and DVD player models 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
first have to program your remote control. (See “Programming the
remote control for use with a cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR
or DVD player” on page 17.)
Note:
The TV remote control may or may not
operate your cable TV converter/satellite
receiver, VCR or DVD player. 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. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote control.
Cautions:
• Dispose of batteries in a designated
disposal area. Do not throw 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.
2. Install two “AA” size batteries. Match the + and – signs on the
batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.
3. Close the battery cover on the remote control until the lock snaps.

Programming the remote control for use with
a cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR or
DVD player
Recall
This remote control is pre-programmed to operate Toshiba satellite
receivers, VCRs and DVD players. To control cable TV converters/
satellite receivers, VCRs and DVD players other than Toshiba models,
you must follow the steps below to program your remote control.
1. Refer to the code tables (on pages 18 and 19) to find the
corresponding code for your brand.
Channel
Numbers
If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you
find the one that works.
2. If you are programming the remote control to operate your:
• Cable TV converter/satellite receiver: Set theTV • CBL/
SAT • VCR • DVD selector to “CBL/SAT.”
• VCR: Set the TV • CBL/SAT • VCR • DVD selector to “VCR.”
• DVD player: Set the TV • CBL/SAT • VCR • DVD selector to “DVD.”
3. While holding down RECALL, press the Channel Number buttons
to enter the three-digit code for your cable TV converter/satellite
receiver, VCR or DVD player brand.
TV • CBL/SAT
• VCR • DVD selector
4. Point the remote control at the cable TV converter/satellite
receiver, VCR or DVD player, and press POWER to test the code.
• If the cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR or DVD player
responds, you entered the correct code.
• If the cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR or DVD player
does not respond, repeat steps 1–4 using another code.
5. Set the TV • CBL/SAT • VCR • DVD selector to “TV” to control the TV.
Notes:
• When shipped from the factory, the remote
control is set to operate your TV.
• If you do not enter the code within 10
seconds from step 1 or if you enter a code
not listed below, this operation is canceled.
• 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 and does
not respond to any of the codes for your
VCR, set the switch to the other position
(VCR1 or VCR2) and reprogram the remote
control.
For future reference, write down the codes you used:
