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 recommen

dations.

• 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 d

rawers.

• 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 p

ulled 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 p

rofessional

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 requir

ed for installation. Flat panel

displays can be heavy.

CHILD SAFETY:

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

Dear Customer,

Thank you for purchasing this Toshiba LED TV. This manual will help you use the many exciting features of your new LED TV/DVD combination. Before operating your LED TV/DVD combination, carefully read this manual completely.

WARNING

To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the floor/wall in accordance with the installation instructions. See item 26) on page 4.

WARNING: If you decide to wall mount this

television, always use a mounting bracket that has been Listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL) and is appropriate for the size and weight of this television. The use of inappropriate or non-Listed mounting brackets could result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage. See “To

Display your LED TV/DVD combination using a Wall Bracket:” on page 5.

NOTE TO CATV INSTALLERS

This is a reminder to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the U.S. 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 33) and

34) on page 4.

WARNING: NEVER expose the batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.

Care

For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA TV, follow these recommendations and precautions:

35)

If you use the TV in a room whose temperature is 32° F (0° C) or below, the picture brightness may vary until the LCD warms up. This is not a sign of malfunction.

36)

• Never use chemicals (such as air fresheners, cleaning agents, etc.) on or near the TV pedestal. Studies indicate that plastics may weaken and crack over time from the combined effects of chemical agents and mechanical stress (such as the weight of the TV). Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury and/or permanent damage to TV and TV pedestal.

• Always unplug the TV before cleaning. Gently wipe the display panel surface (the TV screen) using a dry, soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.). A hard cloth may damage the surface of the panel. Avoid contact with alcohol, thinner, benzene, acidic or alkaline solvent cleaners, abrasive cleaners, or chemical cloths, which may damage the surface. Never spray volatile compounds such as insecticide on the cabinet. Such products may damage or discolor the cabinet.

WARNING: RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE!

37)

Never hit, press, or place anything on the back cover. These actions will damage internal parts.

38)

WARNING:

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind into the TV cabinet slots.

39)

During a lightning storm, do not touch the connecting cables or product.

40)

For added protection of your TV from lightning and power surges, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the antenna from the TV if you leave the TV unattended or unused for long periods of time.

41)

Always unplug the TV to completely disconnect from mains power. When the TV is turned off using the on/off switch, it is not completely disconnected from power and a minute amount of current is still consumed.

42)

During normal use, the TV may make occasional snapping or popping sounds. This is normal, especially when the unit is being turned on or off. If these sounds become frequent or continuous, unplug the power cord and contact a Toshiba Authorized Service Provider.

43)

Never strike the screen with a sharp or heavy object.

44) •

The LCD screen of this product can be damaged by ultraviolet radiation from the sun. When selecting a location for the television, avoid locations where the screen may be exposed to direct sunlight, such as in front of a window.

• Never touch, press, or place anything on the LCD screen. These actions will damage the LCD screen. If you need to clean the LCD screen, follow the instructions in item 36), on page 4.

Service

45)

Notes on moisture condensation

Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please read the following carefully.

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day and drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on this unit’s internal optical pick-up lens, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.

Moisture condensation may occur in the following situations:

•

When you move the unit from a cold area to a warm area.

•

When you use the unit in a room in which the heat was just turned on.

•

When you use the unit in an area where cold air from an air conditioner directly hits the unit.

•

When you use the unit in a humid area.

Never use the unit when moisture condensation may occur.

Using the unit when moisture condensation exists may damage discs and internal parts. Connect the power cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, remove the disc, and leave it for two or three hours. After two or three hours, the unit will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Leaving the TV connected to the wall outlet will help prevent moisture condensation in the unit.

Notes on discs

On handling discs

•

Do not touch the playback side of the disc.

•

Do not attach paper or tape to discs.

On cleaning discs

•

Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound deterioration. Wipe the disc from the center outwards with a soft cloth. Always keep the disc clean.

•

Do not use any type of solvent such as thinner, benzine, commercially available cleaners or antistatic spray for vinyl LPs. It may damage the disc.

Connecting Your TV

Overview of cable types

Before purchasing cables, know the connector types your devices require. You can purchase cables from most stores that sell audio/video devices.

Coaxial cable (F-type)

(Sample Illustration) Coaxial cable

Coaxial (F-type) cable connects your antenna, cable TV service, and/or cable converter box to the ANT/CABLE input on your TV.

Overview of cable types

NOTE

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

(Sample Illustration) Standard AV cables

Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in sets of three, and connects 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.

Component video cables (red/green/blue)

(Sample Illustration) Component video cables
