Top panel M PO W Introduction Exploring your new TV The volume and channel buttons on the top panel can be used as / and / buttons while the TV menu is displayed on screen.
Introduction Selecting a location for the TV • Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location where light does not directly hit the screen. • Place the TV far enough from the walls to allow proper ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which may damage the TV. Connecting your TV Note: To prevent equipment damage, do not plug in any power cords until you have finished connecting all equipment.
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.
This connection allows you to watch DTV (digital TV), VCR, and TV programs, and record DTV and TV programs. Your TV has ColorStream® (component video) inputs. Connecting your TV to a DTV receiver with component video can greatly enhance picture quality and realism.
Connecting a camcorder This connection allows you to watch videos recorded on a camcorder. You will need: • one set of standard AV cables VHS Camcorder S-VIDEO VIDEO AUDIO L R OUT Connecting your TV TV side panel S-VHS Camcorder S-VIDEO VIDEO You will need: • one S-video cable • one pair of standard audio cables AUDIO L R OUT Note: 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.
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.
Connecting your TV Connecting a PC (Personal Computer) Before you connect this TV to your PC, change the adjustment of your PC’s Resolution and Refresh rate. See “Monitor Display modes” at right. Connect one end of a (male to male) VGA cable to the video card of the computer and the other end to the VGA connector PC at the side of the TV. Fix the connectors firmly with the screws on the plug.
Using the remote control Note: Preparing the remote control for use Installing the remote control batteries The TV remote control may not operate your VCR, DVD player, or cable TV converter. Refer to the owner's manual supplied with your other devices to see which features may be available.
