From digital Cable service (connect to ANT 1 only)

This cable should be connected to ANT 1 terminal directly. If you connect the cable via a VCR, the TV may not receive the signals correctly.

¥Always use the EJECT button to remove the CableCARDª. Never remove the CableCARDª by hand.

¥Never insert any object or card (including, without limitation, a PCMCIA card) other than a CableCARDª into the CableCARDª slot.

¥Always make sure the CableCARDª is facing the correct direction.

¥Connect the cable for your digital cable TV service to ANT-1 only.

¥When using a CableCARDª, channel programming is unnecessary because the CableCARDª automatically loads the cable channel list into the TVÕs channel memory (page 36).

¥The CableCARDª may take up to 5 minutes to ÒpairÓ with the TV and download channel information. CableCARDª information and channels will not be available until this process is completed.

CableCARDª technology, like all new and emerging technology, may from time to time experience compatibility issues due to the different ways in which television manufacturers and cable system operators implement the CableCARDª specifications. Most issues can be easily resolved. If you experience any performance-related CableCARDª issues with your Toshiba television, please contact Toshiba Consumer Solutions by calling (800) 631-3811 or by
