The Issue

W

If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your

home. Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV.

W

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing
trend, and larger TVs are popular purchases; however, they are
not always supported on the proper TV stands.

W

Sometimes TVs are improperly secured or inappropriately
situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio
speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may fall over,

causing unnecessary injury.

Toshiba Cares!

W

The consumer electronics industry is

committed to making home

entertainment enjoyable and safe.

W

The Consumer Electronics

Association formed the Home

Entertainment Support Safety

Committee, comprised of TV and
consumer electronics furniture
manufacturers, to advocate

children’s safety and educate

consumers and their families about

television safety.

Tune Into Safety

One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate

furniture large enough to support the weight of

your TV (and other electronic components).

Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure
your furniture to the wall (but never screw anything directly
into the TV).

Carefully read and understand the other enclosed
instructions for proper use of this product.

Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture
and TVs.

Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR,
remote control, or toy) that a curious child may reach for.

Remember that children can become excited while watching
a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over.

the

home with your family and friends. Thank you!

Installation

(cont. from previous page)

27) Always make sure the antenna system is properly grounded
to provide adequate protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges (see Section 810 of the National
Electric Code).

28) DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL

INJURY OR DEATH!

• Use extreme care to make sure you are never in
a position where your body (or any item you are in contact
with, such as a ladder or screwdriver) can accidentally
touch overhead power lines. Never locate the antenna near
overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.

• Never attempt to install any of the following during
lightning activity:
a) an antenna system; or b) cables, wires, or any home
theater component connected to an antenna or phone
system.

Care

For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA TV,
follow these recommendations and precautions:

29) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and
as directly in front of it as possible. The picture can appear
dull if you sit too far to the left or right of the TV, or if
sunlight or room lights reflect on the screen. Turn the TV
off to check for reflections on the screen, and then remove
the source of reflections while viewing the TV.

30) Always unplug the TV before cleaning. Never use liquid or
aerosol cleaners. Clean only with a dry cloth.
Do not spray volatile compounds such as insecticide on the
cabinet. This may cause a discoloration or damage of the
cabinet.

31) WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Never spill liquids or push objects of any
kind into the TV cabinet slots.

32) If the air temperature rises suddenly (for example, when
the TV is first delivered), condensation may form on the
lenses. This can make the picture appear distorted or the
color appear faded. If this happens, turn off the TV for 6 to
7 hours to allow the condensation to evaporate.

5) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and as
directly in front of it as possible. The picture quality may be
affected by your viewing position and length of viewing time.
If you sit too closely to the TV for too long, you may suffer
from eye fatigue. See item 29 on page 4.

6) This TV contains several cooling fans to moderate

the internal temperature. You may be able to hear
the fans noise during or after operation.

7) Always place the back of the television at least one (1) inch

away from any vertical surface (such as a wall) to allow
proper ventilation.

8) Review all safety and operating information in this owner’s
manual before you use your TV.

9) Interactive video games that involve shooting a “gun” type
of joystick at an on-screen target may not work on this TV.

1) The light source for this TV is a projection lamp unit with a
limited service life. When the lamp wears out, the picture
may become dark or black, or the lamp may fail, at which
time you must replace the lamp unit. See “Lamp unit
replacement” on pages 50-52.

2) Each time you turn on the TV, it may take up to several
seconds to go from no picture to full picture brightness.

3) The display on this TV is manufactured using an extremely
high level of precision technology; however, an occasional
pixel (dot of light) may show constantly on the screen. This
is a structural property of micro-display projection TV
technology, and is not a sign of malfunction. Such pixels are
not visible when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing
distance (see item 29 on page 4).

4) Depending on the media you are viewing, it is possible,
although unlikely, that a limited number of viewers may see
a “rainbow effect” on the screen, which can, in rare
instances, result in eye fatigue. This is a rare occurrence
related to technology of this type, and is not a sign of TV
malfunction.

Front Connection Panel

There are four jacks on the left side on your projection TV that
make connecting Audio/Video devices like video games and cam­corders very simple.

The jacks are like those found on the back jack connection panel.
This means that most equipment that connects to those types of
jacks on the rear jackpack, may be connected to the front con­nection panel.

To use the front jacks as the signal source, select them using
Main Input menu as described on page 25. They will be named
“Front Video” in the Main Input menu.

If you input both Front Video and S­Video, only the S-Video will work.

back of your TV. Connect this to
RF out jack on the back of your
VCR.

Or, find the composite video and
audio jacks on the back of your
VCR, and connect them following
the instructions provided with
your equipment.

You may connect either the com­posite video or the S-Video cables
to your TV. (Do not connect both
the composite and the S-Video
cables. In the event that you con­nect both composite and the S­Video cables, only the S-Video will
work.)

To hear stereo sound from cable or your VCR,
you will need to connect A/V cables as well as
the wire that runs from the VCR to your TV.

If you want to receive your signals on Channel
3 or 4, locate the Out to TV jack on your VCR.
Connect a cable from the Out to TV jack to the
Antenna In jack on the back of your TV.

After connecting external equipment to the TV,
don’t display a still picture for a long time on
the screen. Doing so may damage the TV
screen.

speaker

This is a typical speaker layout.
Any number of other speaker setups
are possible, and some changes may
be needed to maximize your sound.
However, a Dolby Digital Receiver is
required to hear 5.1 channel audio.

Left and right speakers on each
side of the TV enhance separation.
The TV's sound optional hookup
“center mode in,” makes the dialog
sound as though it’s coming directly
from the TV. The rear surround
sound speakers provide
the majority of other sounds, like
those from special effects in movies.
Your sub-woofer generates ultra-low
frequency sound, for rumbling
low-end audio.

Sound is affected by
speaker placement, so
make sure nothing is in
front of the speakers, and
that they are aimed in
appropriate directions.

You have the option of
turning the TV speakers on
or off.
