Where Your TV Stands

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.

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 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. This type of

damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY.

See item 33 on page 4.

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.

Welcome to T oshiba

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.

Exploring your new TV

You can operate your TV by using the buttons on the front panel or the

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.

3R40321A/E P02-06 9/7/04, 15:076

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 than standard video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video compatible components.

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

• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use with video equipment that has HDMI output (see page 14).

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 incoming 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.

Note: you can connect the HDMI cable to either HDMI

jacks on the TV (HDMI1 or HDMI2).

You must set the HDMI audio input setting to HDMI in the AUDIO menu (see page 44).

Some CDVs (Video CDs) may not output digital audio signals. In that case, you may hear sound by connecting analog audio cables. If you do use analog audio cables for this reason, you will need to set the HDMI audio input setting to “DVI” to hear the analog audio (see page 44). Note: If you connect an HDMI device and analog audio cables (as described in the previous paragraph), and then you play media with digital audio output, to hear digital audio you must set the HDMI audio input setting to “HDMI” (page 44).

For proper operation, it is recommended that you use a short HDMI cable. You should not encounter difficulty if you use an HDMI cable that is shorter than

16.4ft (5m).

HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate analog audio cables are not required (see illustration below).

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–to–DVI adapter cable (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).

Note: you can connect the HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable and analog audio cables to either HDMI jacks on the TV (HDMI1 or HDMI2).

You must set the HDMI audio input setting to DVI in the AUDIO menu (see page 44).

Connecting an audio system

This connection allows you to use an audio amplifier and external speakers, and adjust the audio level using the TV’s remote control. To control the audio, turn on the TV and the stereo amplifier, and turn off the TV's built-in speakers (see “Turning off the built-in speakers” on page 43).

Note:

To hear sound when using an external audio amplifier, the volume of both the TV and the amplifier must be set above 0 (zero). For example, if the volume of the TV is set to 0, you will not be able to hear any sound, even the volume of the amplifier is at its highest level.
