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 right, 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 50 for additional information.

CableCard Connected -- Acquiring
channel information.
CableCard services will only operate
with cable signal connected to Antenna 1.
NOTE:
• Always use the EJECT button to remove the CableCARD™. Never
remove the CableCARD™ carelessly.
• 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.
• If the TV locks up with the CableCARD™ inserted, press the RESET
button on the TV front or unplug the TV, plug it in again, and press
POWER.
• When using a CableCARD™, channel programming (page 41) is
unnecessary because the CableCARD™ automatically loads the cable
channel list into the TV’s channel memory.
• The CableCARD™ will take several minutes to “pair” with the TV.
CableCARD™ information and channel listings will not be available until
this “pairing” 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.
TV back panel
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.
