Frequently Asked Questions - 20AF46 TOSHIBA

How do I connect external devices like a DVD player to my Toshiba 20AF46?

Use the composite (RCA) or S-Video inputs on the back of the TV. For composite, connect yellow video and red/white audio cables. Then press the 'Input' button on the remote to select the corresponding source.

Why is there no picture but sound is present?

This often indicates the TV is on but the video source is not selected correctly. Check your input selection. Also, ensure the brightness and contrast settings are not turned all the way down. If using an antenna, verify the antenna connection and channel tuning.

Can I use this TV as a computer monitor?

The 20AF46 does not have VGA or HDMI inputs. It can only display standard definition analog video (480i). Connecting a computer would require a converter (e.g., HDMI to composite), but image quality will be poor due to resolution limitations.

How do I set up the parental controls (V-Chip)?

Press the 'Menu' button, navigate to 'Setup' or 'Parental', enter your 4-digit PIN (default is usually 0000), then select V-Chip. Set desired movie and TV ratings. To change PIN, choose 'Change Password'.

The picture is tilted or distorted. What can I do?

CRT TVs may develop geometry issues over time. Try using the 'Picture Adjust' menu to adjust vertical/horizontal size and position. If the issue persists, there may be a magnetic field interference; relocate speakers or other magnetic objects away from the TV. For severe distortion, internal adjustment by a technician may be required.

How do I clean the screen without damaging it?

Turn off and unplug the TV. Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth slightly dampened with water (NOT wet). Gently wipe the screen in a circular motion. Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen. Avoid using paper towels or abrasive cleaners.

Is it normal for the TV to make a high-pitched whine?

CRT TVs often produce a faint high-frequency whine from the flyback transformer operating at 15.734 kHz. This is normal and harmless. However, if the sound becomes loud or changes pitch, it may indicate a component failure and should be checked.

How do I replace the batteries in the remote control?

Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote. Insert two AA batteries (not included) with correct polarity (+/-). Replace the cover. Dispose of old batteries properly.

Can I mount this TV on a wall?

CRT TVs are not designed for wall mounting. Their heavy weight and deep shape make mounting unsafe. The 20AF46 must be placed on a stable, flat surface with adequate ventilation.

What should I do if the TV turns off unexpectedly?

First, check the sleep timer settings (press 'Sleep' on remote). If the timer is off, the TV may be overheating. Ensure vents are not blocked. Also, check for power fluctuations. If the issue continues, the TV may have an internal fault and should be serviced by a professional.

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 size large enough to support the weight of your 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!

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.

Exploring your new TV

You can operate your TV by using the buttons on the front panel or the remote control. The front and back panels provide all the inputs you will need to connect other equipment to your TV.

14AF46

TV front panel

TV back panel

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

• 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.
• An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a standard video cable. S-video cables can only be used with S-video compatible components.
• Component video cables come in sets of three and provide the best picture performance. Component video cables can only be used with component video compatible components.

Connecting a VCR

This connection allows you to watch local channels and video programs, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and record from one channel while watching another channel.

7

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 a standard video cable and an S-video cable to VIDEO1 simultaneously.

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

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.

For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service

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

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.

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 nonscrambled 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.

You will need:

• three coaxial cables
• two sets of standard A/V cables
• one S-video cable

Note:

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.

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.

You will need:

• two coaxial cables
  • one set of component video cables
  • one pair of standard audio cables

Note:

The ColorStream inputs on this TV are for use with devices that output 480i interlaced signals ONLY. This TV will not accept or display 480p or 720p progressive scan signals or 1080i interlaced high-definition signals. If you connect a high-definition set-top receiver, 480p progressive scan DVD player, or other similar device to the TV's ColorStream inputs, YOU MUST SWITCH THE DEVICE'S OUTPUT TO 480i INTERLACED MODE FIRST. Failure to do this will cause a poor picture or no picture to display.

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 camcorder

This connection allows you to watch video materials recorded on a camcorder.

You will need:

• one set of standard A/V cables

Note:

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.
