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

Connecting your TV
If you have not connected electronic equipment before, or you have
NOTE REGARDING
PICTURE QUALITY
been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section.
When connecting video equipment,
such as a VCR or DVD player:
Note: 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.
• For GOOD picture quality: Use
regular video cables.
• Audio and video cables are usually color coded according to use:
yellow for video; red and white for audio. The red audio cable is for
the stereo right channel; 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.
• For BETTER picture quality: If your
equipment has S-video connections,
use S-video cables instead of regular
video cables.
• For BEST picture quality: If your
equipment has ColorStream
(component video) connections,
use component video cables
instead of regular or S-video cables.
Component video cables come in
sets of three.
• S-video cables provide better picture performance than standard
video cables. S-video cables can be used only with S-video compat-
ible components.
• ColorStreamTM (component video) cables come in sets of three.
A ColorStream (component video) connection will provide the best
picture performance.
Note: Do not connect a regular video
cable and an S-Video cable to VIDEO-1
(or VIDEO-2) at the same time. Doing
so will distort the picture.

Note:
Using the remote control
The remote control provided with your TV
may or may not operate certain features on
your VCR, cable TV converter, or other
electronic equipment. Refer to the owner’s
manuals provided with your other equipment
to see which features are available. In
addition, the other remote controls may have
buttons not available on your TV’s remote
control. If you would like to use those features
or buttons, you may need to use the original
remote controls provided with your other
equipment.
Preparing the remote control for use
The remote control will operate your TV, most VCR models, and
most cable TV converters together, even if they are different brands.
• If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba VCR or cable TV
converter, your remote control is already programmed and ready
to use. See “Using the remote control with a Toshiba VCR or
cable TV converter” below.
• If you own a non-Toshiba VCR or converter and want to use your
TV remote control to operate it, you will need to program the
remote control. See “Programming the remote control for use
with a non-Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter” on page 13.
Caution:
• Dispose of batteries in a designated
disposal area. Do not throw batteries
into a fire.
Installing the remote control batteries
To install the batteries:
1. Slide the battery cover off 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 – symbols on
the batteries to the symbols on the battery compartment.

code.
Note:
•
Every time you replace the batteries, you
must reprogram the remote control.
• If the VCR or converter does not respond, repeat steps 1–4
using another code.
•
Some newer VCRs are capable of working
on either of two remote codes. These
VCRs have a switch labeled “VCR1/
VCR2.” If your VCR has this kind of switch
and does not respond to any of the codes
for your VCR brand, set the switch to the
other position (VCR1 or VCR2) and
reprogram the remote control.
5. Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to “TV” to control the TV.

Blocking programs by ratings
Note:
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) uses a rating
system to qualify motion picture content. Television broadcasters
employ a similar rating system to qualify the content of television
programs. The MPAA, Youth TV, and TV ratings work with the
V-Chip feature to allow you to block access to programs that exceed
the rating limits you set.
Press RECALL to see the rating of the program
you are viewing. Not all programs are rated,
however. To block programs or movies that are
not rated, see “Blocking unrated movies and
programs” on page 23.
