30) [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.
24) Always operate this equipment from
a 120 VAC, 60 Hz power source only.
31) 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.
25) 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

Introduction
• This owner’s manual applies to models 32A33, 32A43, and 36A43, and there are slight differences among them.
• Model 32A43 is used in this manual for illustration purposes.
• Instructions in this manual are based on using the remote control; however, you can use the buttons on the front panel
of the TV if they have the same name as those referred to on the remote control.
• Check the model number on the back of your TV before using this manual. Write your model and serial numbers in
the space provided on the front cover of this manual for your records.
Exploring your new TV
• You can operate your TV using the buttons on the front panel or remote control.
• The back panel provides all the inputs you will need to connect other equipment to your TV. Models 32A43 and
36A43 have additional audio/video inputs on the front panel (referred to as “VIDEO-3”).

video cables with a VIDEO-2 connection, you will need to disconnect the
respective standard video cable or the picture performance will be unacceptable.
Selecting a location for your TV
• Place the TV either 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 can damage the TV.
Before installing your TV, please read the important safety information on pages 2–4.

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 stereo A/V 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. Your TV’s standard A/V inputs are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.
ꢀ
ꢀ
S-Video cable is for use with video equipment that has S-Video connectors.
Component video cables come in sets of three (typically color-coded green, blue, and red),
and are for use with video equipment that has component video connectors. Your TV’s
ColorStream® (component video) inputs are color-coded yellow, blue, and red. Plug the
green component video cable into the yellow VIDEO-2 input (see “Back of TV” on page 6).
Standard stereo A/V cables
(typically color-coded yellow for video,
red and white for audio)
NOTE REGARDING PICTURE QUALITY
When connecting video equipment to your Toshiba TV:
S-video cable
ꢀ
For GOOD picture quality: Use a standard yellow video cable.
ꢀ
For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has S-video connectors, 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
a standard yellow video cable at the same time or the picture performance will be
unacceptable.
Component video cables
(typically color-coded red, green, blue)
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 connectors,
use component video cables instead of a standard yellow video cable or S-video
cable. You still must connect the standard red and white audio cables for full
system connection.

Using the remote control
Preparing the remote control for use
Your TV remote control can operate your TVand most cable converter boxes, satellite receivers, VCRs, DVD players,
and HTIBs (home theater in a box), even if they are different brands.
If you have a Toshiba device:
Your TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate most Toshiba devices. See page 14.
If you have a non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba device that the remote control is not preprogrammed
to operate:
You can program the TV remote control so it will operate the other device. See pages 12–14.
Installing the remote control batteries
Caution:
1 Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote control.
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.
Squeeze tab
and lift cover.
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, making sure to match the + and –
signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.
Note:
If your Toshiba TV remote control does not
operate all the features of your other device,
use the original remote control for that device.
3 Reinsert the battery cover in the remote control until the tab snaps.

Programming the remote control to operate a cable converter box,
satellite receiver, VCR, DVD player, or HTIB (home theater in a box)
Your Toshiba TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate most Toshiba devices. To program your TV remote
control to operate a non-Toshiba device (or a Toshiba device that it is not preprogrammed to operate), follow the steps
below. For details on using the remote control to operate the device, see page 14.
1 In the remote control code table (below and on the next page), find
RECALL
the code for your device. If more than one code is listed, try each one
POWER
separately until you find one that works.
2 Set the Device Switch to the type of device you are programming
the remote control to operate—CBL/SAT (for a cable converter box
or satellite receiver), VCR (for a VCR or TV/VCR combo), or DVD
(for a DVD player or HTIB [home theater in a box]).
Channel
Numbers
3 While holding down RECALL, press the Channel Number buttons
}
to enter the 3-digit code for your device.
4 To test the code, turn on the device, point the remote control at it, and
press POWER.
–If the correct code was entered, the device will turn off.
–If the device does not respond, repeat steps 1–4 using another code.
–If the device does not respond to another code, you will need to use
the remote control that came with the device.
5 Remember to set the Device Switch back to TV to control the TV.
6 For future reference, write down the code(s) you used:
Device Switch
DEVICE
CODE
DEVICE
CODE
Note:
Every time you change the batteries, you will need to reprogram the remote
control.
Some newer VCRs respond to either of two codes. These VCRs have a
switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.” If your VCR has this kind of switch and does
not respond to the codes for your VCR brand, set the switch to the other
position (“VCR1” or “VCR2”) and reprogram the remote control.
Remote control codes
In some cases you may not be able to operate your device with the TV remote control. Your other device may use a code
that is not recognized by the TV remote control. If this happens, you will need to use the remote control provided with
the device.

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.
