Child Safety

It Makes A Difference
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!

Wide plug

Installation

Follow these recommendations and precautions and heed all
warnings when installing your TV:

16) Never modify this equipment. Changes or modifications
may void: a) the warranty, and b) the user’s authority to
operate this equipment under the rules of the Federal
Communications Commission.

17) DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL

INJURY, DEATH, OR EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE! Never place the TV on

an unstable cart, stand, or table. The TV
may fall, causing serious personal injury,
death, or serious damage to the TV.

18) Never place or store the TV in direct
sunlight; hot, humid areas; areas
subject to excessive dust or vibration;
or locations with temperatures at or
below 41°F (5°C).

19) Always place the TV on the floor
or a sturdy, level, stable surface that
can support the weight of the unit.

10) Protect the power cord from being

walked on or pinched, particularly at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where it exits the apparatus.

11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the

manufacturer.

12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use

caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13) Unplug this apparatus during

lightning storms or when
unused for long periods
of time.

14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power supply
cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into
the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.

15) CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
use the polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle,
or other outlet unless the blades can be inserted
completely to prevent blade exposure.

20) Never place items such as vases,
aquariums, or candles on top of the TV.

21) Never block or cover the slots or
openings in the TV cabinet back,
bottom, and sides. Never place
the TV:

• on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar

surface;

• too close to drapes, curtains,

or walls; or

• in a confined space such as a

bookcase, built-in cabinet, or any
other place with poor ventilation.

The slots and openings are provided

SERVICE

TECHNICIAN

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

30) [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.

25) 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).

26) 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.

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.

4

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.

Connecting your TV

Note: Cables are not supplied with your TV.



Coaxial cable is the cable that comes in from your antenna, cable TV service,
or cable converter box. Coaxial cable uses “F” connectors.



Standard stereo A/V cables usually come in sets of three, and are typically
color-coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio, and
white for stereo left (or mono) audio. Your TV’s standard A/V inputs are
color-coded in the same manner as the cables.



S-Video cable is for use with video equipment that has S-Video connectors.



Component video cables come in sets of three (typically color-coded red,
green, and blue), and are for use with video equipment that has component video
connectors. Your TV’s ColorStream

NOTE REGARDING PICTURE QUALITY

When connecting video equipment to your Toshiba TV:



For GOOD picture quality: Use a standard yellow video cable.



For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has S-video connectors, use
an S-video cable instead of a standard yellow video cable. (You still must
connect the standard red and white audio cables for full system connection,
but do not connect a standard yellow video cable at the same time or the
picture performance will be unacceptable.)



For BEST picture quality: If your equipment has component video
connectors, use component video cables instead of a standard yellow video
cable or S-video cable. (You still must connect the standard red and white
audio cables for full system connection.)

Using the remote control

Preparing the remote control for use

Your TV remote control can operate your TV and most 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 pages 14 and 17.

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 15–16.

Introduction

Connecting

your TV

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.

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.

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 page 17.

Introduction

}

Device Switch

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.

–If the correct code was entered, the device will turn off.
–If the device does not respond, repeat steps 1–4 using another code.

Note: After programming the TV remote control to operate your other device,

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

5 Remember to set the Device Switch back to “TV” to control the TV.
6 For future reference, write down the code(s) you used:

Note:

Each time you change the batteries, you must 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.

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, you will need to use the remote control provided
with the device.

If you have a non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba device that the remote control is not preprogrammed to operate,
you must first program the remote control to recognize the device (if you have not already done so). See pages
15–16.

To use your TV remote control to operate a:

• cable converter box or satellite receiver, set the Device Switch to CBL/SAT.

• VCR, set the Device Switch to VCR.

• DVD player or HTIB, set the Device Switch to DVD.

Note:

• Even after the TV remote control is programmed, it

may not operate certain features on your other
device. If this happens and you wish to use those
features, you will need to use the device’s original
remote control.

You can leave your TV in STR mode because it automatically

If the stereo sound is noisy, select MONO to reduce the noise.
The word “STR” or “SAP” displays in yellow in the menu when
the TV receives the signal.

To listen to SAP (if available):

1. Press MENU, and then press x or • until the AUDIO menu

appears.

2. Press y or z to highlight MTS.

3. Press x or • to highlight SAP. You will hear the station’s second

audio program (if available) from the speakers while viewing the
original program’s picture. See note at right.

Note:

• A second audio program (SAP) can be

heard only on those TV stations that offer it.
For example, a TV station might broadcast
music (or another language) as a second
audio program. If you have SAP on, you
will see the current program on the screen
but hear music (or the other language)
instead of the program’s normal audio.

• If you have SAP on and the station you are

watching is not broadcasting a second
audio program, the station’s normal audio
will be output; however, occasionally there
is no sound at all in this instance. If
this happens, set the MTS feature to
STR mode.

you are trying to view (p. 14).

• Make sure the TV/CABLE setting (in the S ET UP menu) corresponds with your signal source
(TV antenna or cable) (p. 21).

• Adjust the PICTURE menu settings (pgs. 25–27).

• If you have two VCRs connected to your TV, do not connect the same VCR to the TV’s output

and input connections at the same time (p. 11).
