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

The Issue

 If you are like most Americans, 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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

4 FEB02

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

Service

33) WARNI NG: 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.

Remote Control

Using the remote control

Preparing the remote control for use

The remote control will operate your TV, most VCR models, and
most cable TV converters together, even if they are different brands.

•If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba VCR or cable TV
converter, your remote control is already programmed and ready
to use. See “Using the remote control with a Toshiba VCR or
cable TV converter” below.

•If you own a non-Toshiba VCR or converter and want to use your
TV remote control to operate it, you will need to program the
remote control. See “Programming the remote control for use
with a non-Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter” on page 13.

Installing the remote control batteries

To install the batteries:

1. Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote control.

Note:

The remote control provided with your TV
may or may not operate certain features on
your VCR, cable TV converter, or other
electronic equipment. Refer to the owner’s
manuals provided with your other equipment
to see which features are available. In
addition, the other remote controls may have
buttons not available on your TV’s remote
control. If you would like to use those features
or buttons, you may need to use the original
remote controls provided with your other
equipment.

Caution:

• Dispose of batteries in a designated
disposal area. Do not throw batteries
into a fire.

• Do not mix battery types or combine used
batteries with new ones.

• Remove dead batteries immediately to
prevent battery acid from leaking into the
battery compartment.

• If you do not intend to use the remote
control for a long time, remove the
batteries.

2. Install two “AA” size batteries. Match the + and – symbols on
the batteries to the symbols on the battery compartment.

3. Slide the battery cover back onto the remote control until the
lock snaps.

Using the remote control with a Toshiba VCR
or cable TV converter

To control a Toshiba VCR:

Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the VCR position. The
shaded buttons in the illustration at right will then control the
VCR. The unshaded buttons will operate the TV as usual.

To control a Toshiba cable TV converter:

Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the CABLE position. The
shaded buttons in the top portion of the illustration at right will
then control the cable TV converter.

preprogrammed to operate Toshiba VCRs and cable TV converters.

To operate a non-Toshiba VCR or converter using the remote
control provided with your TV:

1. Refer to the VCR and cable TV converter code tables (below
and on the next page) to find the corresponding code for your
VCR or converter brand.

If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you
find the one that works.

2. If you are programming the remote control to operate your:

• VCR: Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch on the remote control

to “VCR.”

• Cable TV converter: Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch on the

remote control to “CABLE.”

3. While holding down RECALL, press the CHANNEL
NUMBERS to enter the three-digit code for your VCR or
cable TV converter brand.

4. Point the remote control at the VCR or converter, and press
POWER to test the code.

•If the VCR or converter responds, you entered the correct

code.

•If the VCR or converter does not respond, repeat steps 1–4

using another code.

5. Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to “TV” to control the TV.

For future reference, write down the codes you used:

and does not respond to any of the codes
for your VCR brand, 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 similar rating system to qualify the content of television
programs. The MPAA, Youth TV, and TV ratings work with the
V-Chip feature to allow you to block access to programs that exceed
the rating limits you set.

Ratings definitions

Note:

Press RECALL to see the rating of the program
you are viewing. Not all programs are rated,
however. To block programs or movies that are
not rated, see “Blocking unrated movies and
