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 (some- times 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.

27A14 specifications

The Toshiba 27A14 is a classic model that represents the transition period in television technology, combining traditional CRT (cathode ray tube) design with some early advancements in viewing and sound quality. Released in the early 2000s, the 27A14 is a 27-inch television that appeals to those who appreciate the solid, reliable performance commonly associated with CRT televisions.

One of the main features of the Toshiba 27A14 is its 27-inch screen size, which provides a generous viewing area, making it suitable for various room sizes. The television boasts a resolution of 480i, which was standard at the time, ensuring that viewers can enjoy clear images for their favorite shows and movies. With a 4:3 aspect ratio, it is particularly compatible with old-school programming and VHS tapes, offering an authentic viewing experience for classic content.

The Toshiba 27A14 incorporates Dynamic Picture Control technology, which enhances color accuracy and contrast. This technology adjusts the brightness dynamically, resulting in more vibrant colors and deeper blacks, significantly improving the overall quality of visual output. The direct-view CRT display reflects Toshiba's commitment to delivering solid picture quality, making it an ideal choice for watching movies, sports, and TV shows.

Another significant characteristic of the Toshiba 27A14 is its audio system. The built-in speakers deliver a power output of around 20 watts, which is respectable for a television of this era. The sound quality is enhanced by the inclusion of stereo audio output, ensuring clearer and more immersive audio regardless of what the viewer is watching.

The Toshiba 27A14 also emphasizes connectivity, featuring multiple inputs including composite video, RF input, and audio outputs. This allows users to connect a variety of devices such as VHS players, game consoles, and DVD players, maintaining versatility in its usage.

In summary, the Toshiba 27A14 stands out as a reliable CRT television with a solid combination of features, including Dynamic Picture Control, a good-sized screen, and reasonable audio output. While it may not compete with later flat-panel technologies in terms of slim design and high-definition picture quality, it remains a nostalgic choice for those yearning for the simplicity and straightforward performance of traditional televisions.
