Welcome to Toshiba 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.
Important Safeguards Connecting your TV Welcome to Toshiba • 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.
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.
This connection allows you to watch DVD/satellite, VCR, or TV programs. You can record from the satellite receiver and TV, as well as record one TV channel while watching another channel.
Connecting two VCRs This connection allows you to record (dub/edit) from one VCR to another VCR. You will also be able to record from one TV channel while watching another channel. You will need: • two coaxial cables • two sets of standard A/V cables Stereo VCR / Playback To antenna Note: IN IN from ANT Do not connect the same VCR to the output and input jacks on the TV at the same time. For better picture quality, if your VCR has Svideo, you can use an S-video cable instead of the standard video cable.

To control a cable TV converter: Program the remote control to recognize the brand of your converter (see “Programming the remote control to operate your other devices” below). The buttons shown at right will control the cable TV converter. Press the CABLE button first.
