Child Safety
It Makes A Difference
Where Your TV
Stands
Congratulations on your purchase! As you
enjoy your
new TV, keep these safety tips in mind:
The Issue
If you are like most Americans, you have a TV in your home.
Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV.
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.
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!
The consumer electronics industry
is committed to making home
entertainment enjoyable and safe.
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.
Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of the
home with your family and friends. Thank you!

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.
29) [
This item applies to projection TVs only.
] 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.
30) For added protection of your TV from lightning and
power surges, always unplug the power cord and
disconnect the antenna from the TV if you leave the TV
unattended or unused for long periods of time.
31) During normal use, the TV may make
occasional 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 Center.
32) Possible Adverse Effects on TV Picture Tube: If a
fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the TV screen for
long periods of time, the image can become
permanently engrained in the picture tube and cause
subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of
damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY.
Never leave your TV on for long periods of time while it
is displaying the following formats or images:
• Fixed Images, such as PIP/POP windows, stock
tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, and
websites.
• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For
example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a
normal (4:3) display (gray bars at top and bottom of
screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a
widescreen (16:9) display (gray bars on left and right
sides of screen).
Care
For better performance and safer operation of your
TOSHIBA TV, follow these recommendations and
precautions:
26) 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.
27) Always unplug the TV before
cleaning. Never use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
28) WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
4
Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind
into the TV cabinet slots.
Service
33) WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Never attempt to service the
TV yourself. Opening and
removing the covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to a
Toshiba Authorized Service Center.
34) If you have the TV serviced:
• Ask the service technician to use only replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer.
• Upon completion of service, ask
the service technician to perform
routine safety checks to determine
that the TV is in safe operating
condition.
35) When the TV reaches the end of its useful life, ask a
qualified service technician to properly dispose of the
TV. Improper disposal may result in a picture tube
implosion and possible personal injury.

For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service
For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler
box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the
antenna jack on the back of the television.
For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service
If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a
converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the
converter/descrambler box and connect the output of the box to
the antenna jack on the back of the television. Follow the
connections shown left. Set the television to the output of the
converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the
converter/descrambler box to select channels.
For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with
Scrambled Premium Channels
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels
are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a
converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal
splitter (sometimes called a "two-set coupler") and an A/B switch
box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store. Follow
the connections shown left. With the switch in the "B" position, you
can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With
the switch in the "A" position, tune your TV to the output of the
converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the
box to tune scrambled channels.
CONNECTION TO OTHER EQUIPMENT
The exact arrangement you use to interconnect various video and audio components to the TV is dependent on the model and features
of each component. Check the Owner's Manual provided with each component for the location of video and audio inputs and outputs.
