It Makes A Difference Where Your TV Stands

TOSHIBA 26DF56 - It Makes A Difference Where Your TV Stands - 1

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new TV, keep these safety tips in mind:

The Issue

☐ If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your home. Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV.
☐ The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are popular purchases; however, they are not always supported on the proper TV stands.
□ Sometimes TVs are improperly secured or inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may fall over, causing unnecessary injury.

Tosh □ Tosh ch tu □ One size furniture large e

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 TV 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 TV (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 TV).
□ 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 TVs.
☐ Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR, remote control, or toy) that a curious child may reach for.
Remember that children can become excited while watching a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over.
☐ Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of the home with your family and friends. Thank you!

Connecting your TV

  • 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. If you look at the rear panel of the TV, you will see that the terminals are color coded in the same manner as the cables.
  • S-video cables provide better picture performance than standard video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video compatible components.
  • Component video cables provide better picture performance than S-video cables. Component video cables can only be used with component video compatible components.
  • Digital audio coaxial cable is for use with digital audio equipment that has digital audio output (see page 13).

NOTICE: RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE!

Do not plug in any power cords until you have finished connecting all equipment.

You will need:

  • two coaxial cables
    • one set of standard A/V cables

Note:

If using a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable. For better picture quality, if your VCR has S-video, you can use an S-video cable instead of the standard video cable. Do not connect both an S-video cable and a standard video cable at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

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 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.

Option 1: For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service

For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack on the back of the television.

Option 2: For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service

If you subscribe to a cable service that requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the Converter/Descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the Antenna Jack on the back of the television. Follow the connections shown below. Set the television to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.

Option 3: For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with Scrambled Premium Channels

If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set coupler") and an A/B Switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune any nonscrammed channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A" position, tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.

Note:

When you use a converter box with your TV, there may be features that you cannot program using the remote control, such as labeling channels, blocking channels, and programming your favorite channels.

The COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack outputs digital audio only during digital broadcasts with digital audio. To hear analog broadcast audio, you also must connect analog audio cables from the L/R ANALOG AUDIO jacks to the receiver's inputs. Consult the owner's manual for your receiver to determine the best way to switch between the analog and digital signals.

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. In addition to operating the TV, the remote control can operate most cable TV converters, satellite receivers, VCRs, and DVD players, regardless of their brand. The remote control is pre-programmed to operate most Toshiba satellite receivers, VCRs, and DVD players. To control a non-Toshiba device (or a Toshiba device that the remote control is not pre-programmed to operate), you must first program the remote control. See "Programming the remote control to operate your other devices" on the next page.

Installing the remote control batteries

To install the batteries:

  1. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote control.

TOSHIBA 26DF56 - To install the batteries: - 1

  1. Install two "AAA" size batteries. Match the + and - signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.

TOSHIBA 26DF56 - To install the batteries: - 2

  1. Close the battery cover on the remote control until the lock snaps.

Note:

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. Additionally, the remote control for this TV may not support certain features available on the original remote controls for your other devices, in which case it is suggested that you use the original remote control for the applicable device.

Caution:

- Never throw batteries into a fire.

Note:

  • Be sure to use AAA size batteries.
  • Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.
  • Batteries should always be disposed of with the environment in mind. Always dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
  • If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the operating range becomes reduced, replace batteries with new ones.
  • When necessary to replace batteries in the remote control, always replace both batteries with new ones. Never mix battery types or use new and used batteries in combination.
  • Always remove the batteries from the remote control if they are dead or if the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time. This will prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment.

Using the remote control to operate your other devices

Programming the remote control to operate your other devices

This remote control is pre-programmed to operate most Toshiba satellite receivers, VCRs, and DVD players. To control a non-Toshiba device (or a Toshiba device that the remote control is not pre-programmed to operate), you must follow the steps below to program your remote control.

  1. Refer to the device code tables (on pages 16 and 17) to find the corresponding code for your device. If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you find the one that works.

  2. If you are programming the remote control to operate your: • Cable TV converter/satellite receiver: Press "CBL/SAT." • VCR: Press "VCR." • DVD player: Press "DVD."

  3. While holding down RECALL, press the Channel Number buttons to enter the three-digit code for your device within 10 seconds. Note: If you do not enter the code within 10 seconds from step 3, or if you enter the wrong code, this operation is canceled.

  4. Point the remote control at the device and press POWER to test the code. • If the device responds, you entered the correct code. • If the device does not respond, repeat steps 1–4 using another c

  5. Press "TV" to control the TV.

For future reference, write down the codes you used:

Cable TV converter/satellite receiver code ____ VCR code ____ DVD player code ____

Recall Channel Numbers TV VCR DVD CBL/SAT TOSHISA CLAP1

Note:

  • When shipped from the factory, the remote control is set to operate your TV.
    • Each time you replace the batteries, you must reprogram the remote control.
  • Some newer VCRs are capable of working on either of two remote codes. These VCRs have a switch labeled "VCR1/VCR2." If your VCR has this kind of switch and does not respond to any of the codes for your VCR, set the switch to the other position (VCR1 or VCR2) and reprogram the remote control.
