Welcome to Toshiba Welcome to Toshiba Congratulations! You have purchased one of the finest color TVs on the market.

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. To satellite DVD player/ Satellite Receiver VIDEO L You can use a standard video cable instead of the S-video cable, but the picture quality will decrease. If you use an S-video cable between the TV and DVD player/satellite receiver, make the audio connections but remove the standard video cable. Do not connect both an S-video and a standard video cable to VIDEO1 at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.
Connecting a camcorder This connection allows you to watch video materials recorded on a camcorder. You will need: • one set of standard A/V cables Camcorder Note: VIDEO For better picture quality, if your camcorder has S-video, you can connect an S-video (and standard audio cables) to VIDEO1 on the back of the TV. Do not connect a standard video cable and an S-video cable to VIDEO1 simultaneously.
