Important Information
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
The lightning symbol in the triangle tells you that the
voltage inside this product may be strong enough to
cause an electric shock. DO NOT TRY TO SERVICE
THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF.
The exclamation mark in the triangle tells you that
important operating and maintenance instructions
follow this symbol.
CAUTION
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS
POLARIZED PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD
RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE
PRONGS CAN BE FULLY INSERTED INTO THE
OUTLET TO PREVENT ANY EXPOSURE OF THE
PRONGS ON THE POLARIZED PLUG.
ATTENTION
POUR PRÉVENIR LES CHOCS ÉLECTRIQUES NE PAS
UTILISER CETTE FICHE POLARISÉE AVEC UN
PROLONGATEUR, UNE PRISE DE COURANT OU UNE
AUTRE SORTIE DE COURANT, SAUF SI LES LAMES
PEUVENT ÊTRE INSÉRÉS À FOND SANS EN LAISSER
AUCUNE PARTIE À DÉCOUVERT.
CAUTION
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.
Note to CATV system installers in the USA
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s
attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC, which provides
guidelines for proper grounding, and, in particular, specifies that
the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of
the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Precautions
Installing your TV
• Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform. The
mounting surface should be flat and steady. If you install the
TV on a soft floor, make sure that the floor is not damaged by
the weight of the TV.
• This TV set may be used only with Toshiba stand shown on
page 42. Use with other stands may result in instability
causing possible injury.
• Place the TV far enough away from the walls to allow proper
ventilation. This will prevent the TV from overheating and
avoid possible damage to the TV. Avoid dusty places too.
Using your TV
• Do not stand or climb on the TV.
• Do not put any heavy object on top of the TV.
• Do not place containers with liquids such as drinks or
cosmetics on the TV. If any foreign material or water leaks into
the TV, unplug the AC cord and contact your dealer.
• Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for
extended periods of time. Stationary patterns generated by a
picture-in-picture (PIP) display, Multi-Window display,
computer displays, video games, stock market reports, etc., can
become permanently engrained on the picture tube. This
damage is not protected by your warranty because it is the
result of misuse. If you wish to use your TV to display still
images, reduce brightness and contrast settings. Never leave a
PIP, Multi-Window, computer, or video game display
unattended.
Cleaning your TV
• To clean the TV screen:
1. First remove the plug from the power outlet 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
TV screen and trim. Do not use too much water on the TV
screen. Water spills into the cabinet and may cause damage
to the TV. Avoid excess water.
3. Remove any extra moisture with the same cloth or a dry
one.
• To maintain the finish and appearance of the cabinet, polish it
from time to time with a quality furniture polish.
CAUTION
Never use strong solvents such as thinner, benzene or other
chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might damage the
finish of the cabinet.

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.
• ColorStream™ cables come in sets of three and provide the best
picture performance. ColorStream cables can only be used with
ColorStream compatible components.
Connecting a VCR
This connection allows you to watch local channels and video
programs, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and to
record from one channel while watching another channel.
You will need:
• one coaxial cable
• one pair of audio cables (only one cable for a mono VCR)
• one video cable
Caution:
Do not plug the TV in until you have finished
connecting all of your equipment.
Caution:
If using a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to
VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.
If you have a S-VHS VCR, use the S-video
connections and remove the video cable.
Do not connect the video cable and the
S-video cable to Video-1 simultaneously.

Using the remote control
Preparing the remote control for use
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 12.)
• Also, this remote control is capable of learning operating codes
from most infrared remote control transmitters. (See “Learning
operating code of another remote controller” on page 15.)
Installing the remote control batteries
To install the batteries:
1. Slide the battery cover off of the back of the remote control.
2. Install two “AA” size alkaline batteries. Match the + and - signs
on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.
3. Slide the battery cover back on to the remote control until the
lock snaps.
Using the remote control with a VCR or a cable
TV converter
To control a Toshiba VCR:
Set the TV/CABLE/VCR/AUX switch to the VCR position. The
buttons shown to the right will then control the VCR. The rest
of the buttons will operate the TV as usual.
If you own different brands of VCRs, program the remote
control to recognize the brand of your VCR. (See “Programming
the remote control for use with a VCR or a cable TV converter”
on page 12.)
Note:
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.
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.
• If you do not intend to use the remote
control for a long time, remove the
batteries.

converter. The shaded buttons will control the cable TV
converter.
Set the TV/CABLE/VCR/AUX switch to the CABLE position.
Programming the remote control for use with a
VCR or a cable TV converter
This remote control is pre-programmed to operate Toshiba VCRs. To
use VCRs or cable converters other than Toshiba models, you must
follow the steps below before you operate your remote control.
1. Refer to the “VCR code table”or “Cable TV converter code
table”on pages 13-14 to find the number that corresponds to the
brand name of your VCR or converter.
If more than one number is listed, try each one separately until
you find the one that works.
2. If you are reprogramming the remote control to operate your:
•VCR, set the TV/CABLE/VCR/AUX switch on the remote
control to VCR.
•cable converter, set the TV/CABLE/VCR/AUX switch on
the remote control to CABLE.
3. Hold down the RECALL button while using the Channel
Number buttons to enter the three-digit code number of your
brand of VCR or converter.
The program indicator (LIGHT button) lights up for 1 second
when the programming is completed.
When an operation error has occurred, the indicator blinks.
Press RECALL again to reset.
4. Point the remote control at the VCR or converter and press
POWER to test the code number.
If the VCR or converter turns on, you have entered the right
number.
If the VCR or converter does not respond to the remote control,
you may have entered the wrong number. Repeat steps 1-4 with
another code number.
5. Reset the TV/CABLE/VCR/AUX switch to TV to control the
TV.
For future reference, write down the code numbers you used:
VCR code _____________________
Cable code _____________________
Note:
•Each time you replace the batteries, you
must reprogram the remote control.
•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, it may
not respond to any of the code numbers for
your VCR brand name. In this case, set the
switch to the other position (VCR1 or
VCR2) and reprogram the remote control.

Learning operating code of another remote
controller
This remote control is capable of learning operating codes from most
infrared remote controllers. You can control the functions of your TV
and a variety of video/audio equipment with the supplied remote
control only.
The 21 buttons marked with can be used as the Learning buttons.
1. Set the TV/CABLE/VCR/AUX switch to “AUX”position.
2. Place the supplied remote control and the remote controller to be
learned, head to head approximately 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm)
apart.
3. Hold down RECALL and MENU/ENTER at the same time to
enter into the learning mode. The learning indicator will blink.
4. Hold down the Learning button (marked ) on the supplied
remote control until the learning indicator lights up.
When you press a button other than a Learning button, the
indicator will blink. (The button you pressed is not a Learning
button.)
5. Hold down the button of the function to be learned on the other
remote controller for about 3 seconds until the learning indicator
starts blinking.
Note: If the learning indicator blinks rapidly, the supplied remote control
cannot learn the operating code or an error has occurred.
Try steps 4 and 5 again.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for storing other functions into other
buttons.
7. Press EXIT to release the learning mode.
8. To check your programming, operate the appropriate equipment
with the supplied remote control. If the equipment does not
operate as expected, repeat steps 1 to 7.
If necessary, try changing the distance between the two remote
controllers.
9. Reset the TV/CABLE/VCR/AUX switch to “TV”position to
control the TV.
