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 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 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, call your local cable operator.
You will need:

one CableCARD™ (contact your cable operator)
digital cable subscription service (contact your cable
operator)

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. After the CableCARD™ is inserted, a CableCARD™

option appears in the Applications menu, with
informational screens provided by your CableCARD™
service. See page 40 for additional information.

________

CableCARD is a trademark of Cable Television Laboratories, Inc.

Note:

• Always use the EJECT button to remove the CableCARD™. Never

remove the CableCARD™ by hand.

• Never insert any object or card (including, without limitation, a

PCMCIA card) other than a CableCARD™ into the CableCARD™ slot.

• Always make sure the CableCARD™ is facing the correct direction.

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

• When using a CableCARD™, channel programming is unnecessary

because the CableCARD™ automatically loads the cable channel
list into the TV’s channel memory (page 36).

• 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.

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.

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
