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.  
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.  
Coaxial (antenna) cable  
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 TV or cable channels and  
videotapes, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and record  
from one channel while watching another channel.  
The unauthorized recording, use,

use an S-video cable instead of a standard  
(yellow) video cable for better picture  
performance. Do not connect a regular video  
cable and an S-video cable to Video-1 (or  
Video-2 or Video-3) at the same time.

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.

3. While holding down RECALL, press the CHANNEL  
NUMBERS to enter the three-digit code for your VCR or  
cable TV converter brand.  
4. Point the remote control at the VCR or converter, and press  
POWER to test the code.  
• If the VCR or converter responds, you entered the correct  
code.  
Note:  
•
Every time you replace the batteries, you  
must reprogram the remote control.  
• If the VCR or converter does not respond, repeat steps 1–4  
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  
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.
