HDMI™ cable (with HDMI Logo “

”)

Overview of cable types

Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell audio/

video devices. Before purchasing any cables, be sure of

connector types required by your devices and the length of

each cable.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for

use with devices with an HDMI output. An HDMI cable

delivers digital audio and video in its native format. This

cable carries both video and audio information; therefore,

separate audio cables are not required for a complete HDMI

device connection ( page 17 and page 19).

Coaxial (F-type) cable

Note: HDMI cable provides better picture performance than

a standard (composite) video or S-video cable.

Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your antenna,

cable TV service, and/or cable converter box to the ANT/

CABLE input on your TV.

Optical audio cable

Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)

Optical audio cable is for connecting receivers with Dolby

Digital or PCM (pulse-code modulation) optical audio input

to the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal ( page 18).

Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in sets

of three, and are for use with video devices with analog audio

and composite video output. These cables (and the related

inputs on your TV) are typically color-coded according to

use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio, and white for

stereo left (or mono) audio.

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable is for connecting a PC

to the TV’s PC IN terminal ( page 19).

S-video cable

About the connection illustrations

S-video cable is for use with video devices with S-video

output. Separate audio cables are required for a complete

connection.

You can connect different types and brands of devices to

your TV in several different configurations. The connection

illustrations in this manual are representative of typical

device connections only. The input/output terminals on your

devices may differ from those illustrated herein. For details

on connecting and using your specific devices, refer to each

device’s owner’s manual.

Note: An S-video cable provides better picture performance

than a composite video cable. If you connect an S-video

cable, be sure to disconnect the standard (composite) video

cable or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

Component video cables (red/green/blue)

Component video cables come in sets of three and are for

use with video devices with component video output.

(ColorStream^®is Toshiba’s brand of component video.) These

cables are typically color-coded red, green, and blue. Separate

audio cables are required for a complete connection.

Note: Component video cables provide better picture

performance than a standard (composite) video or S-video

cable.

Chapter 3: Using the remote control

Programming the remote control

to control your other devices

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 22.

1� ^{In the remote control code table (}^{page 25), find the}

code for your device. If more than one code is listed, try

each one separately until you find one that works.

ꢀ� ^{Set the MODE SELECT switch}^{to the type of device}

you are programming the remote control to operate —

CABLE/SAT (for a cable converter box or satellite

receiver), AUX 1 (for a VCR or TV/VCR combo), or

AUX 2 (for a DVD player or HTIB [home theater in a

box]).

ꢁ� ^{While holding down}

, press the Channel Number

buttons to enter the 3-digit code for your device.

ꢂ� ^{To test the code, turn on the device, point the remote}

control at it, and press

. See notes below.

• 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.

ꢃ� Remember to set the MODE SELECT switch back to

“TV” to control the TV.

6� ^{For future reference, write down the code(s) you used:}

DEVICE

CODE

DEVICE

CODE

Note:

• In addition to POWER, confirm that all necessary keys on

the TV remote control operate your device. If some keys are

not operational, repeat the device code setup using another

code (if other codes are listed for your device). If, after

trying all listed codes, the necessary keys do not operate

your device, use the device’s original remote control.

• 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.
