generated by PIP display, computer displays, video
games, stock market reports, etc. can become perma-
nently engrained on the picture tube. This damage is
not protected by your warranty as it is the result of
misuse. Should you wish to use your TOSHIBA Tel-
evision to display still images, it is always advisable
to reduce brightness and contrast settings. Never
leave a PIP display, a computer or video game display
unattended.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER IN THE USA:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that
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.

Installing Your TV Set
Where to install
Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform.
The mounting surface should be flat and steady.
Lighting
Do not place the TV in a room where direct lighting
strikes
the
screen.
Use
soft
and
indirect
lighting.
Air circulation
Place the TV far enough 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.

hold power (120 volt AC, 60Hz). Do not change the
plug's safety prong. See the right column.

WARNING : TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
e Do not stand or climb on the TV.
€ Do not put a VCR or any heavy object on top of
the TV.
CAUTION :
As
a
safety
feature,
the

Before
Using
the
Remote
Control
Introductions
With this Remote Control, you can operate your TV and
most models of remote-controlled VCR's and Cable TV
converters even if they are different brands.
However, this Remote Control must first be programmed
to control other brands of VCR's and/or Converters. If
you will be using your TV set with a TOSHIBA VCR, your
Remote has already been preprogrammed for you.
€ Before attempting to operate your Remote Control,
install the batteries according to the section "To install
batteries" shown below.
e For more detailed instructions, see the section “Pro-
gramming the Remote Control" on page 9.
Notes:
ө After installing new batteries, the Remote Control will
set itself to the codes for TOSHIBA's TV and VCR. If
you are using the Remote Control to operate equip-
ment that uses different codes, it will have to be
reprogrammed for those codes.
e This Remote Control may have functions not available
on the original remote controller.
e These 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 functions
are available.
e The remote controller supplied with your VCR or Cable
TV Converter may have keys not duplicated on this
Remote Control. If these functions are desired, the
original remote controller will have to be used.
Location of Controls (Remote Control)/ Before Using the Remote Control
To install batteries
1 Place the Remote Control with the face down. Press
down on the ridged area of the battery cover and
slide it off.
Press and slide to remove.
2 Place two "AA" size alkaline batteries, matching the +
and - signs on each battery to the + and – signs of
the battery compartment.
3 Replace the battery cover until the lock snaps.
CAUTION:
ө Do not throw your batteries into a fire. Dispose of your
batteries in a designated disposal area.
e Do not combine used old batteries with new ones.
€ Do not mix battery types.
Tips for Best Operation
e For optimum performance, aim the Remote Control
directly at the TV from a distance of no more than 16 ft
(bm) and be sure there is no obstruction between the
Remote Control and the TV.
ө If your Remote Control does not always adjust the TV
as you wish, you probably need to replace the
batteries.
Use alkaline batteries for longer use.
e Remove dead batteries immediately to prevent battery
acid from leaking into the battery compartment.
e |f you do not intend to use the Remote Control for a
long period, remove the batteries.
PREPARATION

Using the Remote with VCR or Cable TV Converter
ө To control a TOSHIBA VCR, first set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to “VCR” position. The buttons shown below will then
control the VCR. The rest of the buttons operate the TV as usual.
If you have another brand of VCR, you can probably program your Remote to control it.
Details are on page 9.
ө Tocontrol a cable TV converter, this Remote Control must be programmed to recognize the brand of your converter.
See page 9. The shaded buttons can be used to control the cable TV converter.
