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, call your local cable operator.
You will need:

one digital 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 digital CableCARD

service. See

page 51 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 42).

• 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

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. In the
event that you experience any performance-related CableCARD™ issues
with your Toshiba television, please contact the following:
In the U.S., call TACP Consumer Solutions at (800) 631-3811 or visit

http://www.tacp.com/customersupport/contact.asp.

In Canada, call TCL Customer Service at 1-800-268-3404.
