Welcome to Toshiba  
Congratulations! You have purchased one of the finest color TVs on  
the market. The goal of this manual is to guide you through setting up  
and operating your Toshiba TV as quickly as possible.  
You may need to purchase other audio or video cables to connect your  
equipment. See “Connecting your TV” on page 7 for more information.  
Please read all the safety and operating instructions carefully before  
you begin.  
Exploring your new TV  
You can operate your TV by using the buttons on the front panel or the  
remote control. The front and back panels provide all the inputs you will  
need to connect other equipment to your TV.

Selecting a location for the TV  
Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform 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 may damage  
the TV.

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.

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 CATV 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.

signals. If you connect a high-definition set-  
top receiver, 480p progressive scan DVD  
player, or other similar device to the TV’s  
ColorStream inputs, YOU MUST SWITCH  
THE DEVICE’S OUTPUT TO 480i INTER-  
LACED MODE FIRST. Failure to do this will  
cause a poor picture or no picture to display.

Using the remote control  
Preparing the remote control for use  
With the remote control, you can operate your TV, most VCR and DVD  
player models, and cable TV converters together, even if they are  
different brands. If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba VCR or  
DVD player, your remote control is already programmed and ready to  
use. If you own different brands of VCRs, DVD players and/or  
converters, you first have to program your remote control. (See  
“Programming the remote control for use with a VCR, DVD player, or  
cable TV converter” on page 12.)  
Note:  
The TV remote control may or may not  
operate your VCR, DVD player, or cable TV  
converter. 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 “AAA” size batteries. Match the + and – signs on the  
batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.
