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

The Issue

¾

If you are like most Americans, you ha ve a TV in your
home. Man y homes, in fact, have more than one TV.

¾

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.

¾

Sometimes TVs are improperly secured or inappropr iately
situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio
speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may f all o ver,
causing unnecessary injury.

Toshiba Cares!

¾

The consumer electronics industry

is committed to making home

entertainment enjoyable and safe .

¾

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 Saf ety

¾

One size does NOT fit all! Use

appropriate furniture large enough to support

the weight of your TV (and other electronic

components).

¾

Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to
secure your furniture to the wall (but never screw anything
directly into the TV).

¾

Carefully read and understand the other enclosed
instructions for proper use of this product.

¾

Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture
and TVs.

¾ Avoid placing an y item on top of your TV (such as a VCR,

remote control, or toy) that a curious child may reach f or.

¾

Remember that children can become excited while
watching a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over.

¾ Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of

home with your family and friends. Thank you!

Safeguards

23) Always operate this equipment from
a 120 VAC, 60 Hz power source only.

24) Always make sure the antenna system is properly grounded
to provide adequate protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges (see Section 810 of the National
Electric Code).

25) DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL

INJURY OR DEATH!

• Use extreme care to make sure you are never
in a position where your body (or any item you are in
contact with, such as a ladder or screwdriver) can
accidentally touch overhead power lines. Never locate
the antenna near overhead power lines or other
electrical circuits.

• Never attempt to install any of the following during

lightning activity:
a) an antenna system; or b) cables, wires, or any home
theater component connected to an antenna or phone

system.

29)

[This item applies to projection TVs only.]

If the air
temperature rises suddenly (for example, when the TV is first
delivered), condensation may form on the lenses. This can
make the picture appear distorted or the color appear faded.
If this happens, turn off the TV for 6 to 7 hours to allow the
condensation to evaporate.

30) 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.

31) 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 Center.

32) Possible Adverse Effects on TV Picture Tube: If a fixed
(non-moving) pattern remains on the TV screen for long
periods of time, the image can become permanently
engrained in the picture tube and cause subtle but
permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT
COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your TV on
for long periods of time while it is displaying the following
formats or images:

• Fixed Images, such as PIP/POP windows, stock tickers,

video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.

• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For

example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a normal
(4:3) display (gray bars at top and bottom of screen); or
viewing normal style (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9)
display (gray bars on left and right sides of screen).

Care

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

26) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and
as directly in front of it as possible. The picture can appear
dull if you sit too far to the left or right of the TV, or if sunlight
or room lights reflect on the screen. Turn the TV off to check
for reflections on the screen, and then remove the source of
reflections while viewing the TV.

27) Always unplug the TV before
cleaning. Never use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.

28) WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

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

Service

33) WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Never attempt to service the

TV yourself. Opening and

removing the covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to a
Toshiba Authorized Service Center.

34) If you have the TV serviced:

• Ask the service technician to use only replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer.

• Upon completion of service, ask
the service technician to perform
routine safety checks to determine
that the TV is in safe operating
condition.

35) When the TV reaches the end of its useful life, ask a
qualified service technician to properly dispose of the TV.
Improper disposal may result in a picture tube implosion and
possible personal injury.

Connecting your TV

If you haven’t connected electronic equipment before, or you have
been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section. (Cables
are not supplied.)

• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.

• Audio and video cables are usually color coded according 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 (or mono) left 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.

• S-video cables provide better picture performance. S-video cables
can only be used with S-video compatible components.

• ColorStream

®

cables come in sets of three and provide the best
picture performance. ColorStream cables can only be used with
ColorStream 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.
