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).

33) Possible Adverse Effects on TV Picture Tube: If a fixed  
(non-moving) pattern remains on the TV screen for long  
periods of time, the image can become permanently  
engrained in the picture tube and cause subtle but  
permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT  
COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your TV  
on for long periods of time while it is displaying the  
following formats or images:

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  
sides of screen).

27) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and  
as directly in front of it as possible. The picture can appear  
dull if you sit too far to the left or right of the TV, or if  
sunlight or room lights reflect on the screen. Turn the TV  
off to check for reflections on the screen, and then remove  
the source of reflections while viewing the TV.  
removing the covers may expose  
you to dangerous voltage or other  
hazards. Refer all servicing to a  
Toshiba Authorized Service Center.

35) If you have the TV serviced:  
• Ask the service technician to use only replacement parts  
specified by the manufacturer.  
• Upon completion of service, ask  
the service technician to perform  
routine safety checks to determine  
that the TV is in safe operating  
condition.  
28) Always unplug the TV before  
cleaning. Never use liquid or  
aerosol cleaners.  
36) When the TV reaches the end of its useful life, ask a  
qualified service technician to properly dispose of the TV.  
Improper disposal may result in a picture tube implosion  
and possible personal injury.

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.

• one pair of standard audio cables  
This connection allows you to watch DVD, VCR, or TV programs and  
record TV programs. You can record from one source while watching a  
program from another source. Your TV is capable of using ColorStream  
(component video). Connecting your TV to a component video compat-  
ible DVD player, such as a Toshiba DVD player with ColorStream®, can  
greatly enhance picture quality and performance.  
Note:  
DVD player with ColorStream®  
The ColorStream inputs on this TV are for  
use with devices that output 480i interlaced  
signals ONLY. This TV will not accept or  
display 480p or 720p progressive scan  
signals or 1080i interlaced high-definition  
signals. If you connect a high-definition set-
