As you enjoy your new, keep these safety tips in mind: The Issue If you are like most Americans, you have a in your home. Many homes, in fact, have more than one. The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger s are popular purchases; however, they are not always supported on the proper stands. Sometimes s are improperly secured or inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, s may fall over, causing unnecessary injury. Toshiba Cares! The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe. The Consumer Electronics Association formed the Home Entertainment Support Safety Committee, comprised of and consumer electronics furniture manufacturers, to advocate children s safety and educate consumers and their families about television safety. Tune Into Safety One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate furniture large enough to support the weight of your (and other electronic components). Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure your furniture to the wall (but never screw anything directly into the ). Carefully read and understand the other enclosed instructions for proper use of this product. Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture and s. Avoid placing any item on top of (such as a VC, remote control, or toy) that a curious child may reach for. emember that children can become excited while watching a program and can potentially push or pull a over. Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of the home with your family and friends. Thank you! Wilson Blvd. Arlington, VA U.S.A.

Standard stereo A/V cables usually come in sets of three, and are typically color-coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio. Your s standard A/V inputs are color-coded in the same manner as the cables. S-Video cable is for use with video equipment that has S-Video connectors. Component video cables come in sets of three (typically color-coded red, green, and blue), and are for use with video equipment that has component video connectors. Your s ColorStream (component video) inputs are colorcoded in the same manner as the cables. NOTE EGADING PICTUE QUALITY When connecting video equipment to your Toshiba : For GOOD picture quality: Use a standard yellow video cable. For BETTE picture quality: If your equipment has S-video connectors, use an S-video cable instead of a standard yellow video cable. (You still must connect the standard red and white audio cables for full system connection, but do not connect a standard yellow video cable at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.) For BEST picture quality: If your equipment has component video connectors, use component video cables instead of a standard yellow video cable or S-video cable.

13 remote control Preparing the remote control for use With the remote control, you can operate, most VC models, and cable converters together, even if they are different brands. If you will be using with a Toshiba VC, your remote control is already programmed and ready to use. If you own different brands of VCs and/or converters, you first have to program your remote control. (See Programming the remote control for use with a non-toshiba VC or a cable converter on page.) Installing the remote control batteries To install the batteries:. Slide the battery cover off of the back of the remote control.. Install two AA size alkaline batteries. Match the + and - signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment. Note: Your s remote control may or may not operate your VC or cable converter. efer to the owner s manuals supplied with your other equipment to see which features are available. In addition, the original controllers may have features not available on this remote control. If you would like to continue to use these features, you may want to use the original remote control. Caution: Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area. Do not throw batteries into a fire. Do not mix battery types or combine used batteries with new ones. emove dead batteries immediately to prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment. If you do not intend to use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries. Introduction.

While holding down ECALL, press the Channel Number buttons ( ) to enter the code for your brand of VC or converter.. Point the remote control at the VC or converter and press POWE to test the code. If the VC or converter responds, you have entered the correct code. If the VC or converter does not respond to the remote control, you may have entered the wrong code. epeat steps using another code.. To control the, set the //VC switch to. For future reference, write down the codes you used: VC code VC ECALL POWE / TN TIME Note: Every time you replace the batteries, you must reprogram the remote control. Some newer VCs are capable of working on either of two remote codes. These VCs have a switch labeled VC/VC.
