Connecting your TV
About the connection illustrations
You can connect different types and brands of devices to your
TV in several different configurations. The connection
illustrations in this manual are representative of typical device
connections only. The input/output terminals on your devices
may differ from those illustrated herein. For details on
connecting and using your specific devices, refer to each
device’s owner’s manual.
Connecting a digital CableCARD™
This digital television is capable of receiving analog basic,
digital basic, and digital premium cable television
programming by direct connection to a cable system providing
such programming.
A security card (such as a digital CableCARD™), provided by
your cable operator, is required to view encrypted digital
programming.
Certain advanced and interactive digital cable services (such as
video-on-demand, a cable operator’s enhanced program guide,
and data-enhanced television services) will not work with the
use of a CableCARD™ and may require the use of a separate
set-top box from your cable operator.
For more information, contact your local cable operator.
You will need:
• digital CableCARD™ (contact your cable operator)
• digital cable subscription service (contact your cable
operator)
To view encrypted digital channels:
1Connect your digital Cable TV cable to ANT 1.
2With the front of the CableCARD™ facing up, insert it
into the CableCARD™ slot on the back of the TV (see
illustration above).
3After the CableCARD™ is inserted, a CableCARD™
option appears in the Applications menu, with
informational screens provided by your digital
CableCARD™ service. See “Viewing the CableCARD™
menu” in the Operating Guide for additional information.
Note:
•Connect the cable from your digital cable TV service directly
to ANT 1 only. If you connect the digital cable through a
VCR first and/or to ANT 2, the TV may not receive the signals
correctly.
•Always use the EJECT button to remove the CableCARD™.
Removing the CableCARD™ without pressing EJECT can
damage the CableCARD™ and/or TV. Such damage is NOT
covered under your Toshiba warranty.
•Never insert any object or card other than a CableCARD™
(including, without limitation, a PCMCIA card) into the
CableCARD™ slot.
•Always make sure the CableCARD™ is facing the correct
direction.
•When using a CableCARD™, you do not need to program
channels into the TV memory. The CableCARD™
automatically loads the cable channel list into the TV’s
channel memory (- Operating Guide).
•The CableCARD™ may take about 5 minutes to “pair” with
the TV and download channel information. CableCARD™
information and channels will not be available until this
process is completed.
•Connecting your TV directly to the Audio/Video output of
your set-top box will ensure a more vivid picture and
enhance your viewing enjoyment.
