Where Your TV Stands

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.

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!

Important notes about your LCD TV

The following symptoms are technical limitations of LCD Display technology and are not an indication of malfunction. Therefore, Toshiba is not responsible for perceived defects resulting from these symptoms.

1) An afterimage (ghost) may appear on the screen if a fixed, non-moving image is displayed for a long period of time. The afterimage is not permanent and will disappear in a short period of time.

2) The LCD panel contained in this TV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology; however, there may be an occasional pixel (dot of light) that does not operate properly (does not light, remains constantly lit, etc.). This is a structural property of LCD technology, is not a sign of malfunction, and is not covered under your warranty. Such pixels are not visible when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing distance.

Note: Interactive video games that involve shooting a “gun” type of joystick at an on-screen target may not work on this TV.

Note: Cables are not supplied with your TV.

●

Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your antenna, cable TV service, and/or cable converter box to the ANT RF input on your TV.

●

Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in sets of three, and are for use with video devices with standard audio and standard (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.

●

S-video cable

audio cables are required for a complete connection.

Note: An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a standard (composite) video cable.

●

Component video cables come in sets of three and are for use with video devices with component video output. These cables are typically color-coded red, green, and blue. (ColorStream® is Toshiba’s brand of component video.) Separate audio cables are required for a complete connection.

Note: Component video cables provide better picture performance than a standard (composite) video or S-video cable.

●

HDMI cable is for use with devices with uncompressed HDMI (highdefinition multimedia interface) video/compressed audio output. HDMI cable delivers digital audio and video in its native format (see page 15). This cable carries both video and audio information; therefore, no separate audio cables are needed for a complete connection.

This input is designed to accept HDCP material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861B– compliant top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output).

The HDMI input is designed for best performance with 1080i high-definition video signals, but will also accept and display 480i, 480p, and 720p signals.

To connect an HDMI device, you will need:

• one HDMI cable (type A connector)

NOTE: NEVER CONNECT THIS TV TO A PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC).

This TV is not intended for use with a PC.

For proper operation, it is recommended that you use a short HDMI cable.

HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate analog audio cables are not required (see illustration below). Some CDVs (Video CDs) may not output digital audio signals. In that case, you may be able to hear sound by connecting analog audio cables. However, if you connect analog audio cables with this connection, the HDMI terminal on the TV will not receive the HDMI digital audio signal and you will hear analog audio only.

EIA/CEA-861/861B compliance covers the transmission of uncompressed digital video with high-bandwidth digital content protection, the technology of which is being standardized for reception of high-definition video signals. Because this is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices may not operate properly with the TV.

To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset properly, it is recommended that you follow these procedures:

•When turning on your electronic components,

turn on the TV first, and then the HDMI or DVI device.

•When turning off your electronic components,

turn off the HDMI or DVI device first, and then the TV.

To connect a DVI device, you will need:

• one HDMI

(HDMI type A connector)

For proper operation, the length of an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable should not exceed 9.8 ft (3m). The recommended length is 6.6 ft (2m).

• one pair of standard analog audio cables

An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers only video. Separate analog audio cables are required (see illustration below).

Preparing the remote control for use

Your TV remote control can operate your TV and many other devices such as cable converter boxes, satellite receivers, VCRs, DVD players, and HTIBs (home theater in a box), even if they are different brands.

If you have a Toshiba device:

Your TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate most Toshiba devices. See page 20.

If you have a non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba device that the remote control is not preprogrammed to operate:

You can program the TV remote control so it will operate the other device. See pages 17–19.

Installing the remote control batteries

1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote control.

Squeeze tab and lift cover.

2. Install two “AA” size batteries, making sure to match the + and – signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.

3. Reinsert the battery cover in the remote control until the tab snaps.

Remote control effective range

For optimum performance, aim the remote control directly at the TV and make sure there is no obstruction between the remote control and the TV.

Caution:

Never throw batteries into a fire.

Note:

• Be sure to use AA size batteries.

• Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.

• Batteries should always be disposed of with the environment in mind. Always dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

• If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the operating range becomes reduced, replace batteries with new ones.

•When necessary to replace batteries in the remote control, always replace both batteries with new ones. Never mix battery types or use new and used batteries in combination.

• Always remove batteries from remote control if they are dead or if the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time. This will prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment.

Programming the remote control to operate a cable converter box, satellite receiver, VCR, DVD player, or HTIB (home theater in a box)

Your Toshiba TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate most Toshiba devices. To program your TV remote control to operate a non-Toshiba device (or a Toshiba device that it is not preprogrammed to operate), follow the steps below. For details on using the remote control to operate the device, see pages 19–20.

1. In the remote control code table (below and on the next page), find the code for your device. If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you find one that works.

2. Set the Device Switch to the type of device you are programming the remote control to operate — CBL/SAT (for a cable converter box or satellite receiver), VCR (for a VCR or TV/VCR combo), or DVD (for a DVD player or HTIB [home theater in a box]).

3. While holding down RECALL, press the Channel Number buttons to enter the 3-digit code for your device.

4. To test the code, turn on the device, point the remote control at it, and press POWER. See note at right.

•If the correct code was entered, the device will turn off.

•If the device does not respond, repeat steps 1–4 using another code.

•If the device does not respond to another code, you will need to use the remote control that came with the device.

Remember to set the Device Switch back to TV to control the TV.

6. For future reference, write down the code(s) you used:

DEVICE CODE DEVICE CODE

Remote control codes

In some cases you may not be able to operate your device with the TV remote control. Your other device may use a code that is not recognized by the TV remote control. If this happens, use the device’s remote control.

necessary keys on the TV remote control operate your device. If some keys are not operational, repeat the device code setup using another code (if other codes are listed for your device). If, after trying all listed codes, the necessary keys do not operate your device, use the device’s original remote control.

• Every time you change the batteries, you will need to reprogram the remote control.

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