Welcome to Toshiba

Thank you for purchasing this Toshiba TV, one of the most
innovative LCD TVs on the market.
This digital television is capable of receiving analog basic,

or data-enhanced television services) may require the use of a
set-top box. For more information, call your local cable
operator.
