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.
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 page 4 for details.
2
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!

Connecting your TV
• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.
• Standard A/V (audio/video) cables are usually color coded accord-
ing to use: yellow for video and red and white for audio. The red
audio cable is for the stereo right channel, and the white audio
cable is for the stereo left (or mono) channel. If you look at the rear
panel of the TV, you will see that the terminals are color coded in
the same manner as the cables.
• An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a
standard video cable. S-video cables can only be used with S-video
compatible components.
• Component video cables come in sets of three and provide the best
picture performance. Component video cables can only be used
with component video compatible components.

Connecting a cable converter box
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.
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 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
below. 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.
your TV
Connecting
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
below. 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.
Note:
When you use a converter box with your TV,
there may be features that you cannot
program using the remote control, such as
labeling channels, blocking channels, and
programming your favorite channels.

permanent ghost images. This type of
damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR
WARRANTY. See page 4 for details.
