Safety Precautions
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER
(OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS
INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning symbol in the triangle tells you that the
voltage inside this product may be strong enough to
cause an electric shock. DO NOT TRY TO SERVICE
THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF.
The exclamation mark in the triangle tells you that
important operating and maintenance instructions
follow this symbol.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not use the polarized plug with an extension
cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the
blades can be inserted completely to prevent
blade exposure.
NOTE TO CATV INSTALLERS
This is a reminder to call the CATV system installer’s
attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC, which
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building,
as close to the point of cable entry as practical. For
additional antenna grounding information, see
items 25 and 26 on page 4.
NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS
ON TV PICTURE DISPLAY
If a fixed (non-moving) pattern or image remains
on the TV screen for extended periods of time, the
image can become permanently ingrained in the
cathode ray tube(s) of the TV and cause subtle
but permanent ghost images. This type of
damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR
WARRANTY. (See item 33 on page 4 for details.)

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!

2. Install two “AAA” (penlight size) batteries.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
6
3M91721A[En] P02-0722/12/05, 4:46 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
*
the splitter and connect the single wire to the transformer,
and then to the TV’s antenna input (as illustrated here).
TRANSFORMER
(not supplied)
To ANT input
on back of TV
To ANT input
on back of TV
Separate VHF and UHF antennas or
Combination VHF/UHF antenna with separate cables/wires
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.
TV/VIDEO SELECTION
To view the picture from a VCR, camcorder, or VIDEO game,
you must put the TV in VIDEO mode first. Press TV/VIDEO to
