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 which requires the use of a Con- verter/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 left. 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 Scram- bled 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 left. 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.

27A41 specifications

The Toshiba 27A41 is a 27-inch CRT television that represents a blend of classic television design and reliable performance. While CRT technology has largely been superseded by newer flat-panel displays, the 27A41 has carved its place in the hearts of vintage TV enthusiasts and collectors due to its sturdy construction and dependable picture quality.

One of the main features of the Toshiba 27A41 is its high-quality image display. The TV utilizes a standard-definition CRT screen that delivers solid color reproduction and contrast, making it suitable for watching a range of content from old movies to modern TV shows. The screen's generous size allows for a satisfying viewing experience, especially in smaller living rooms or bedrooms.

In terms of design, the Toshiba 27A41 boasts a classic boxy aesthetic, typical of CRT televisions from its era. The cabinet is finished in a sleek black, which adds a touch of elegance, while the curved screen provides a retro appeal that many find charming. The set also features manual controls located at the front, offering an easy way to adjust settings without needing a remote.

The television comes equipped with multiple input options, which include standard composite video and audio inputs. This versatility allows users to connect various devices, such as DVD players, gaming consoles, or VHS players, broadening the scope of content that can be enjoyed on the screen.

The Toshiba 27A41 also incorporates several sound enhancement technologies. It features built-in stereo speakers that deliver decent audio quality, enhancing the overall viewing experience. While it may not rival the sound systems of modern televisions, it offers clarity and presence for standard television audio.

Energy consumption is another key characteristic of the Toshiba 27A41. As a CRT model, it tends to consume more power compared to its LCD or plasma counterparts; however, its durability often compensates for this, as CRTs are less prone to issues like burn-in or image retention.

In conclusion, the Toshiba 27A41 represents a nostalgic piece of technology that continues to attract attention for its solid performance, versatility, and classic design. For those who appreciate the charm of vintage televisions, the Toshiba 27A41 remains a beloved choice for a reliable viewing experience.
