Chapter 2: 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: one digital CableCARD™ (contact your cable operator) digital cable subscription service (contact your cable operator) TV back panel From digital Cable service Note: Connect the digital cable directly to ANT 1 only. If you connect the cable through a VCR first and/or to ANT 2, the TV may not receive the signals correctly. ________ CableCARD is a trademark of Cable Television Laboratories, Inc. To view encrypted digital channels: 1. Connect your digital Cable TV cable to ANT-1. 2. With the front of the CableCARD™ facing up, insert it into the CableCARD™ slot on the back of the TV (see illustration below left). 3.

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 (page 47). • The CableCARD™ may take up to 5 minutes to "pair" with the TV and download channel information. CableCARD™ information and channels will not be available until this process is completed. CableCARD™ 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 CableCARD™ specifications. Most issues can be easily resolved. If you experience any performance-related CableCARD™ issues with your Toshiba television, please contact Toshiba Consumer Solutions by calling (800) 631-3811 or by visiting http://www.tacp.com/customersupport/contact.asp. 14 Copyright © 2005 TOSHIBA CORPORATION.
