Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy
your new TV, keep these safety tips in mind:
The Issue
If you are like most consumers, 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
home with your family and friends. Thank you!

CLOSED CAPTION
WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?
This television has the capability to decode and display Closed
Captioned television programs. When available, Closed
Captioning will display text on the screen for hearing impaired
viewers or it will translate and display text in another language.
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS
Press CAP/TEXT on the remote control to switch between normal TV and the two Closed Caption Modes (Captions and 1/2 of
Full Screen Text).
Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the
screen in English or another language (depending on the setting
of Closed Captions 1/2.) Generally, Closed Captions in English
are transmitted on Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in
other languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 2.
• When activating the Closed Captioned Decoder, there will be a short delay before the Closed Captioned text appears on the screen.
• Closed Captioned text is only displayed in locations where it is available.
• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.
• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed Captioning,
especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not allow
time for editing.
• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may interfere with Closed
Captions.
• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may appear with strange
characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.
The Captions will appear in places on the screen where
they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the
bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show
three-line Closed Captions which scroll onto the screen.
Most other shows provide two or three lined Captions
placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer
can follow the dialogue. Words in italics or underlined
describe titles, words in foreign languages or words
requiring emphasis. Words that are sung usually appear
enclosed by musical notes.
Text: When available, the Text mode will fill part of the
screen with a programming schedule or other information.
After selecting a Closed Caption Mode, it will stay in effect
until it is changed, even if the channel is changed. If the
Captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in the
signal, the Captions will reappear when the signal is
received again. If the channels are changed, the Captions
will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
For television programs broadcasting with Closed
Captions, look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions
symbol (CC).

SELECTING STEREO/SAP BROADCASTS
You can listen to high-fidelity stereo sound with the Multi-channel
TV Sound (MTS) feature. MTS can also transmit a second audio
program (SAP) containing a second language or other audio
information.
When the TV receives a stereo or SAP broadcast, the word
STEREO or SAP appears on-screen every time the TV is turned
on, the channel is changed, or RECALL is pressed.
The MTS feature is not available in the VIDEO mode.
You can leave your TV in STEREO mode because it will
automatically output stereo or monaural sound, depending on
the broadcast type. If the stereo sound is noisy, select MONO to
reduce the noise. The word STEREO or SAP is displayed in
light blue when the TV receives the signal.
TO SELECT THE DESIRED MTS SETTING:
Repeatedly press MTS to select either STEREO, SAP,
MONO+SAP, or MONO. If the current program is not available
in stereo or SAP, the setting will not be available when you
press MTS.
