conditions:
Cuando el televisor llegue al final de su vida útil, si se deshace de él de

siguientes, desenchufe el televisor de la toma de la red y solicite los
servicios de personal de reparación especializado:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
a. Cuando se haya dañado el cable de alimentación o el enchufe.
b. When liquid has been spilled into the TV set.
ANTENNA / ANTENA

c. When the TV set has been exposed to rain or water.
c. Cuando el televisor haya estado expuesto a la lluvia o al agua.
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where
it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
d. When the TV set has been subject to excessive shock by being
dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
d. Cuando el televisor haya estado expuesto a golpes excesivos o haya
caído, o su caja se haya dañado.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section
810 of the National Electrical Code in the USA and Section 54 of the
Canadian Electrical Code in Canada provides information with respect
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
e. When the TV set does not operate normally even though you follow
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the TV set to normal

otros controles podría resultar en daños y a menudo requerirán un
trabajo difícil por un técnico cualificado para devolver el televisor a
su funcionamiento normal.
Un sistema de antena esterior no deberá colocarse cerca de líneas de alta
tensión ni otros circuitos de iluminación o alimentación, ni donde
pueda entrar en contacto con tales líneas o circuitos.
CUANDO INSTALE UN SISTEMA DE ANTENA EXTERIOR,
TENGA EXTREMADO CUIDADO PARA EVITAR QUE ENTRE
EN CONTACTO CON TALES LÍNEAS DE ALIMENTACIÓN O
CIRCUITOS, YA QUE TAL CONTACTO PODRÍA RESULTAR
INVARIABLEMENTE FATAL.
Cuando el funcionamiento del televisor haya cambiado
notablemente — esto indica la necesidad del servicio de reparación.
Servicing — Do not attempt to service the TV set yourself. To open or
remove the covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Cerciórese de que el sistema de antena esté puesto a tierra a fin de que
proporcione cierta protección contra sobretensiones y cargas estáticas.
La Sección 810 del Código Eléctrico Nacional (NEC) de EE.UU. y la
Sección 54 del Código Eléctrico Canadiense ofrecen informacón con
respecto a la puesta a tierra adecuada de una unidad de descarga de
antena, el tamaño de los conductores de puesta a tierra, la ubicación de
la unidad de descarga de la antena, la conexión de los electrodos de
puesta a tierra, y los requisitos de tales electrodos.

apertura o extracción de cubiertas podría exponerle a tensiones
peligrosas u otros peligros. En caso de avería solicite los servicios de
personal de reparación cualificado.

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. Please make sure you’ve
received the following items: TV, remote control, batteries, manual, registration card, and extended service plan
literature. If you did not receive all of the items, or any of the items are damaged or broken, please contact your
Toshiba dealer. In addition, you may need to purchase other audio or video cables to connect your equipment.
See “Connecting your TV” on page 2 for more information.
Please read all the safety and operating instructions carefully before you begin.
This manual applies to models 27A60, 32A60 and 36A60, and there are slight differences among them.
The 36A60 is the model used for illustration purposes. Instructions in this manual are based on using the
Remote Control. Check the model of your TV before using this manual.
Exploring your new TV
You can operate your TV by using the buttons on the front panel or the remote control. The back panel provides
all the terminal connections you will need to connect other equipment to your TV.

Caution:
Selecting a location for the TV
The plug has one prong wider than the other
and will fit only one way into a standard
electrical outlet (120 volt AC, 60 Hz). If the
plug does not fit into the outlet, try turning it
around. If the plug still does not fit, the outlet
is probably non-standard and must be
replaced by a qualified electrician. Do not
tamper with the plug or try to force it
into a non-standard outlet.
• 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 ventila-
tion. Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which may
damage the TV.
The model number and serial number are on the back of your TV.
Record these numbers in the spaces below. Refer to these numbers
whenever you communicate with your Toshiba dealer about this 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.
• 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 cables provide better picture performance. S-video cables
can only be used with S-video compatible components.
• ColorStreamTM 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
Preparing the remote control for use
Note:
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 8.)
This remote control’s functions may or may
not operate your VCR 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:
Caution:
• Dispose of your batteries in a designated
disposal area. Do not throw your batteries
into a fire.
1. Slide the battery cover off of the back of the remote control.
• 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 “AA” size batteries. Match the + and - signs on the
batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.

VCRs have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.”
If your VCR has this kind of switch, it may

Appendix
Cleaning and care
WARNING:
TV sets use high voltage. Do not try to remove the cabinet back. Refer servicing to qualified service technicians.
To clean the TV screen:
1. Unplug the TV to avoid possible shock hazard.
2. Use a clean cellulose sponge or chamois cloth dampened with a solution of mild detergent and warm water
to clean the TV screen and trim. Do not use too much water because water spills into the cabinet can cause
damage to the TV.
3. Wipe off any excess moisture with a clean dry cloth.
4. Polish the cabinet with a quality furniture polish to maintain the finish and appearance of the cabinet.
Caution:
Never use strong solvents such as thinner, benzene, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet. These chemicals can damage the finish
of the cabinet.
