Welcome to Toshiba
Congratulations! You have purchased one of the finest projection TV’s
on the market. The goal of this manual is to guide you through setting

those on the remote control.
Please read all the safety and operating instructions carefully, and keep
the manual for future reference.
Exploring your new TV
You can operate your TV by using the buttons on the front panel or

AUDIO
Cables
• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F”
connectors.
VIDEO
Cable
• Audio and 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 (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.
S-VIDEO
Cable
Color Stream
Cable
• S-video cables provide better picture performance. S-video cables
can only be used with S-video compatible components.
Caution:
Do not plug the TV in until you have finished
connecting all of your equipment.
• ColorStream™ cables come in sets of three and provide the best
picture performance. ColorStream cables can only be used with
ColorStream compatible components.

Using the remote control
Note:
Preparing the remote control for use
This remote control’s functions may or may
not operate your VCR or cable TV converter.
With the remote control, you can operate your TV, most VCR
models, and cable TV converters together, even if they are different
brands. If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba VCR, your
remote control is already programmed and ready to use. If you own
different brands of VCRs and/or converters, you first have to program
your remote control. (See “Programming the remote control for use
with a VCR or a cable TV converter” on page 11.)
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. Slide the battery cover off of the back of the remote control.
Caution:
• Dispose of your batteries in a designated
disposal area. Do not throw your 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.
2. Install two “AA” size batteries. Match the + and - signs on the
batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.
• If you do not intend to use the remote
control for a long time, remove the
batteries.
3. Slide the battery cover back on to the remote control until the
lock snaps.

Adjusting the color convergence
This projection TV uses three separate TV tubes: a red one, a green
one, and a blue one. The red, green, and blue images are projected

Convergence may drift over time or if you move the TV. If you can
see clear images on the screen, skip this procedure.
This adjustment should be made after the TV has been on for at least
30 minutes.
To check and adjust the color convergence:
1. Press MENU, then press x or • until the PICTURE menu
appears.
2. Press y or z to highlight CONVERGENCE.
3. Press x or • to display the center CONVERGENCE menu.
