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)
• 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.
37)
Never hit, press, or place anything on the back cover. These actions will damage internal parts.

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 22.
5 Connect your other electronic device(s) to the TV, see
“Connecting an HDMI® or DVI device to the HDMI® input” on page 29.
6 Install the batteries in the remote control, see “Installing
batteries” on page 41.
7 See “Learning about the remote control” on page 43 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

(Sample Illustration) Coaxial cable
Coaxial (F-type) cable connects your antenna, cable TV service, and/or cable converter box to the ANT/CABLE input on your TV.

Overview of cable types
NOTE

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)
