Care

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

35)

If you use the TV in a room whose temperature is
32° F (0° C) or below, the picture brightness may
vary until the LED warms up. This is not a sign of
malfunction.

36)

37)

WARNING: RISK OF SERIOUS

PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE!

• Never use chemicals (such as air fresheners,
cleaning agents, etc.) on or near the TV
pedestal. Studies indicate that plastics may
weaken and crack over time from the combined
effects of chemical agents and mechanical
stress (such as the weight of the TV). Failure to
follow these instructions could result in serious
injury and/or permanent damage to TV and TV
pedestal.

• Always unplug the TV before cleaning. Gently
wipe the display panel surface (the TV screen)
using a dry, soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.). A
hard cloth may damage the surface of the panel.
Avoid contact with alcohol, thinner, benzene,
acidic or alkaline solvent cleaners, abrasive
cleaners, or chemical cloths, which may damage
the surface. Never spray volatile compounds
such as insecticide on the cabinet. Such
products may damage or discolor the cabinet.

Never hit, press, or place anything on the back
cover. These actions will damage internal parts.

snapping or popping sounds. This is normal,
especially when the unit is being turned on or off. If
these sounds become frequent or continuous,
unplug the power cord and contact a Toshiba
Authorized Service Provider.

Important notes about your TV

The following symptoms are technical limitations of
LCD Display technology and are not an indication of
malfunction; therefore, Toshiba is not responsible for
perceived issues resulting from these symptoms.

1)

An afterimage (ghost) may appear on the screen if
a fixed, non-moving image appears for a long
period of time. The afterimage is not permanent
and will disappear in a short period of time.

2)

The LCD panel contained in this TV is
manufactured using an extremely high level of
precision technology; however, there may be an
occasional pixel (dot of light) that does not operate
properly (does not light, remains constantly lit,
etc.). This is a structural property of LCD
technology, is not a sign of malfunction, and is not
covered under your warranty. Such pixels are not
visible when the picture is viewed from a normal
viewing distance.

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

Overview of installation, setup, and use

Follow these steps to set up your TV and begin using its many
exciting features.

1 Carefully read the important safety, installation, care, and

service information. Keep this manual for future reference.

2 To choose a location for the TV:

❖ Read “Important notes about your TV” on page 7.

❖ Place the TV on the floor or a sturdy, level, stable surface

that can support the weight of the unit. Secure the TV to a
wall, pillar, or other immovable structure, see 25) on
page 4.

❖ Place the TV in a location where light does not reflect on

the screen.

❖ Place the TV far enough from walls and other objects to

allow proper ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may cause
overheating, which will damage the TV. THIS TYPE OF
DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TOSHIBA
WARRANTY.

3 Do not plug in any power cords until after you have connected

all cables and devices to your TV.

4 Before connecting cables or devices to the TV, learn the

functions of the TV’s connections and controls, see “Overview

of cable types” on page 21.

5 Connect your other electronic device(s) to the TV, see

“Connecting an HDMI® or DVI device to the HDMI® input”
on page 28.

6 Install the batteries in the remote control, see “Installing

batteries” on page 40.

7 See “Learning about the remote control” on page 42 for an

overview of the buttons on the remote control.

8 After connecting all cables and devices, plug in the power

cords for your TV and other devices. Then press the POWER
button on the TV control panel or remote control to turn on the
TV. If the TV stops responding to the buttons on the remote
control or TV control panel and you cannot turn the TV off or
on, unplug the power cords for a few seconds and then plug
them in and try again.

Connecting Your TV

Overview of cable types

Before purchasing cables, know the connector types your devices
require. You can purchase cables from most stores that sell
audio/video devices.

Coaxial (F-type) cable

Overview of cable types

Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)

(Sample Illustration) Standard AV cables

Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in sets of
three, and connects to video devices with analog audio and
composite video output. These cables (and the related inputs on
your TV) are typically color-coded according to use: yellow for
video, red for stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono)
audio.

Component video cables (red/green/blue)

(Sample Illustration) Component video cables

Component video cables come in sets of three and connects with
video devices with component video output. (ColorStream
Toshiba’s brand of component video.) These cables are typically
color-coded red, green, and blue. Separate audio cables are required
for a complete connection.

Component video cables provide better picture quality than
composite video cables.
