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

The Issue

¾ If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your home.

Many 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 inappropriately

situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may fall over, 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 Safety

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 any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR,

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

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!

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.

31) 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.

32) 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.

33) 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:

27) 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.

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

29) WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

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

Service

34) 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.

35) 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.

36) 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.

Welcome to Toshiba

CT-90158

Congratulations! You have purchased one of the finest color TVs on the market. The goal of this manual is to guide you through setting up and operating your Toshiba TV as quickly as possible. You may need to purchase other audio or video cables to connect your equipment. See “Connecting your TV” on page 7 for more information.

Please read all the safety and operating instructions carefully before you begin.

Selecting a location for the TV

• Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location where light does not directly hit the screen.

• Place the TV far enough from the walls to allow proper ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which may damage the TV.

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.

• Standard A/V (audio/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 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.

• S-video cables provide better picture performance. 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.

Caution:

Do not plug the TV in until you have finished connecting all of your equipment.

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 CA TV 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.

• When shipped from the factory, the remote control is set to operate your TV.

• If you do not enter the code within 10 seconds from step 1 or if you enter a code not listed below, this operation is canceled.

• Each time you replace the batteries, you must reprogram the remote control.

• Some newer VCRs are capable of working on either of two remote codes. These VCRs have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.” If your VCR has this kind of switch and does not respond to any of the codes for your VCR, set the switch to the other position (VCR1 or VCR2) and reprogram the remote control.

Blocking programs by ratings

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) uses a rating system to qualify motion picture content. Television broadcasters employ a rating system to qualify the content of television programs, as well. The MPAA, Youth TV, and TV ratings work with the V-Chip feature and allow you to block programs according to the rating limits you set.

MPAA Ratings

parent or adult guardian.

PG13 Parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be

inappropriate for children under 13.

PG Parental guidance suggested. Some material may

not be appropriate for children.

G General audience. Appropriate for all ages.

for children age 7 and above. Programs in which fantasy violence may be more intense or combative than other programs in this category are designated TV-Y7-FV.
