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 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!

3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
6
J3M91421A(E)_P02-07 11/03/2005, 3:34 PM6
Use two “AAA” size penlight batteries (supplied) for the
remote control. The batteries may last approximately one
year depending on how much the remote control is used.
For best performance, it is recommended that you replace
the batteries on a yearly basis or when the remote operation
becomes erratic.
Caution:
• Never throw batteries into a fire.
Notes :
• Be sure to use AAA size batteries.
• Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.
• Batteries should always be disposed of with the
environment in mind. Always dispose of batteries in
accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
• If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the
operating range becomes reduced, replace batteries with
new ones.
• When necessary to replace batteries in the remote
control, always replace both batteries with new ones.
Never mix battery types or use new and used batteries in
combination.
• Always remove batteries from remote control if they are
dead or if the remote control is not to be used for an
extended period of time. This will prevent battery acid
from leaking into the battery compartment.
ANTENNA/CABLE TV CONNECTIONS
Choose one of the following seven connections, based on your
equipment and service:
Combination VHF/UHF antenna
Single 75 ohm cable
(or)
Single 300 ohm twin-lead wire*
For best performance, if you have a splitter connected, remove

Connect the 75 ohm cable from a combination VHF/UHF antenna to the
antenna jack.
If your combination antenna has a 300 ohm twin-lead wire, use the 30075 ohm matching transformer (not supplied).
Combination VHF/UHF antenna (Separate VHF and UHF 300 ohm
twin-leads)
Connect the UHF twin-lead wire to a combiner (not supplied). Connect
the VHF twin-lead to the 300-75 ohm matching transformer (not
supplied). Attach the transformer to the combiner. Attach the combiner
to the antenna jack.
Separate VHF/UHF antennas
Connect the 75 ohm cable from the VHF antenna and the UHF antenna
twin-lead to a combiner (not supplied). Attach the combiner to the
antenna jack.
NOTE: If your VHF antenna has a twin-lead wire, use the 300-75 ohm
matching transformer (not supplied), then connect the transformer to the
combiner.
For subscribers to basic cable TV service
For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box, connect the Cable TV 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 that 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 at 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 at 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.
This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable
channels without using a cable company supplied converter box.
Some cable companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the
signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing
requires the use of a descrambler device, which is generally provided
by the cable company.
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.
The following connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. You may need to modify them to accommodate your particular
assortment of components.

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 half-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.
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 that scroll onto
the screen. Most other shows provide two- or three-line 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.
• 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.
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).
NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON TV PICTURE TUBE
Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for extended
periods of time. Fixed (non-moving) images (such as closed captions)
can become permanently ingrained in the picture tube. This type of
damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY.
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.
STEREO
MONO
If the current program is not broadcasting either stereo or SAP,
those settings will not be available when you press MTS.
