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.
NEVER CONNECT THIS TV TO A PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC). This TV is not intended for use with a PC. 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 or Antenna 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 a DVD player with ColorStream® (component video) and a VCR This connection allows you to watch DVD, VCR, or TV programs and record TV programs. You can record from one source while watching a program from another source. Your TV is capable of using ColorStream (component video.) Connecting your TV to a component video compatible DVD player, such as a Toshiba DVD player with ColorStream®, can greatly enhance picture quality and performance.
Important Safeguards Connecting a DTV receiver / set-top box with ColorStream® (component video) and a VCR Stereo VCR IN OUT to TV OUT CH 3 CH 4 VIDEO L AUDIO R TV Using the Remote Control The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.
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 Note: 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.
This connection allows you to watch videos recorded on a camcorder. S-VHS Camcorder You will need: • one S-video cable • one pair of standard audio cables Important Safeguards Connecting a camcorder Note: S-VIDEO VIDEO L R OUT Welcome to Toshiba For better picture quality, if your camcorder has S-video, you can use an S-video cable (plus the standard audio cables) instead of a standard video cable.
Connecting an HDMI™ or a DVI device to the HDMI input The HDMI[1] input on your TV receives digital audio and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI device or uncompressed digital video from a DVI[2] device. [1] [2] [3] [4] This input is designed to accept HDCP[3] program material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861B–compliant[4] consumer electronic devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output.) The HDMI input is designed for best performance with high definition video signals.
This connection allows you to use an audio amplifier and external speakers, and adjust the audio level using the TV’s remote control. To control the audio, turn on the TV and the stereo amplifier, and turn off the TV's built-in speakers (see “Turning off the built-in speakers” on page 40.) You will need: • one pair of standard audio cables Welcome to Toshiba Note: To hear sound when using an external audio amplifier, the volume of both the TV and the amplifier must be set above 0 (zero.
Using the remote control Preparing the remote control for use With the remote control, you can operate your TV, most cable TV converters/satellite receivers, VCRs, and DVD players together, even if they are different brands. If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba satellite receiver, VCR, or DVD player, your remote control is already programmed and ready to use. If you own different brands of cable TV converters/satellite receivers, VCRs, and/or DVD players, you must first program your remote control.
