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!

ANTENNA/CATV 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)

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 300-75 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 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.
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
