Dear Customer,

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:

The Issue

• The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger flat panel displays are popular purchases. However, flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

• Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers,

bookcases, shelves, desks,

speakers, chests or carts may fall

over and cause injury.

TOSHIBA Cares!

• The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home

entertainment enjoyable and safe.

Tune Into Safety

•

One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation and use of your flat panel display.

• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.

• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.

• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

• Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” flat panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

Wall Mounting: If you decide to wall mount your flat panel display, always:

• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).

• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.

• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about professional installation.

• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.

• A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

CHILD SAFETY:

It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel Display

Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)

Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in sets of three, and are for use with video devices with analog audio and composite video output. These cables (and the related inputs on your TV) are typically color-coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio.

S-video cable

HDMI™ cable (with HDMI Logo “ ”)

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use with devices with an HDMI output. An HDMI cable delivers digital audio and video in its native format. This cable carries both video and audio information; therefore, separate audio cables are not required for a complete HDMI device connection ( page 17 and page 19).

Note: HDMI cable provides better picture performance than a standard (composite) video or S-video cable.

Optical audio cable

Optical audio cable is for connecting receivers with Dolby Digital or PCM (pulse-code modulation) optical audio input to the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal ( page 18).

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable is for connecting a PC to the TV’s PC IN terminal ( page 19).

S-video cable is for use with video devices with S-video output. Separate audio cables are required for a complete connection.

Note: An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a composite video cable. If you connect an S-video cable, be sure to disconnect the standard (composite) video cable or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

Component video cables (red/green/blue)

Component video cables come in sets of three and are for use with video devices with component video output. (ColorStream® is Toshiba’s brand of component video.) These cables are typically color-coded red, green, and blue. Separate audio cables are required for a complete connection.

Note: Component video cables provide better picture performance than a standard (composite) video or S-video cable.

About the connection illustrations

You can connect different types and brands of devices to your TV in several different configurations. The connection illustrations in this manual are representative of typical device connections only. The input/output terminals on your devices may differ from those illustrated herein. For details on connecting and using your specific devices, refer to each device’s owner’s manual.

Connecting an HDMI™ or DVI device to the HDMI input

The HDMI input on your TV receives digital audio and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI source device, or uncompressed digital video from a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) source device. This input is designed to accept HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital-Content Protection) program material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861-D–compliant devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output). The HDMI input can accept and display VGA, 480i (60Hz), 480p (60Hz), 720p (60Hz), and 1080i (60Hz) signal formats. For detailed signal specifications, see page 60. Supported Audio format: Linear PCM, sampling rate 32/44.1/ 48 kHz

Note: To connect a PC to the HDMI input, see page 19.

To connect an HDMI device, you will need:

one HDMI cable (type A connector) per HDMI device

•

For proper operation, it is recommended that you use an

− HDMI cable with the HDMI Logo ( ).

To display an 1080i/60Hz signal format, you will need a

− Category 2 cable. Conventional HDMI/DVI cable may not work properly.

HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate

− analog audio cables are not required (see illustration).

See “Setting the HDMI™ audio mode” ( page 32).
