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:
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.

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

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

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

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

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)

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.
