SETTING UP

Safety Precautions

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken to obtain the best results and for safety to be assured. Please read the points below for your own safety. They are of a general nature, intended to help with all electronic consumer products and some points may not apply to the goods you have just purchased.

Air Circulation

Leave more than 10cm clearance around the television to allow adequate ventilation. This will prevent overheating and possible damage to the television. Dusty places should also be avoided.

Heat Damage

Damage may occur if the television is left in direct sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places subject to extremely high temperatures or humidity. Place in a location where the temperature remains between 5°C (41°F) min. and 35°C (94°F) max.

Mains Supply

The mains supply required for this equipment is 220240v AC 50/60Hz. Never connect to a DC supply or any other power source. DO ensure that the television is not standing on the mains lead. DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment, this incorporates a special Radio Interference Filter, the removal of which will impair its performance. In the UK, the fuse fitted in this plug is approved by ASTA or

BS1362

BSI to rated and approved type and the fuse cover must be refitted. IF IN DOUBT PLEASE CONSULT A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN.

read the operating instructions before you attempt

to use the equipment.

DO NOT

equipment with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DO NOT

dripping or splashing or objects filled with liquids, such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.

DO NOT

such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires.

DO NOT

wood screws. To ensure complete safety, always fit the manufacturers’ approved stand, bracket or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DO NOT

unattended, unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off by withdrawing the plug, make sure your family know how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for people with disabilities.

DO NOT

in any doubt about it working normally, or it is damaged in any way – switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

WARNING

earphones or headphones can cause hearing loss.

ABOVE ALL – NEVER let anyone, especially children, push or hit the screen, push anything into holes, slots or any other openings in the case.

Installation and important information

Where to install

Locate the television away from direct sunlight and strong lights, soft, indirect lighting is recommended for comfortable viewing. Use curtains or blinds to prevent direct sunlight falling on the screen.

Place on a sturdy platform, the mounting surface should be flat and steady. It should be secured to the wall with a sturdy tie using the clip on the back of the stand, or secured to the platform using the fixing strap located

Clip

underneath the table top stand, this will prevent it from falling over.

The LCD display panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however sometimes some parts of the screen may be missing

Side View Top View

picture elements or have luminous spots. This is not a sign of a malfunction.

Make sure the television is located in a position where it cannot be pushed or hit by objects, as pressure will break or damage the screen, and that small items cannot be inserted into slots or openings in the case.

Please take note

EXCLUSION CLAUSE

Toshiba shall under no circumstances be liable for loss and/or damage to the product caused by: i) fire;

ii) earthquake; iii) accidental damage; iv) intentional misuse of the product; v) use of the product in improper conditions; vi) loss and/or damage caused to the product whilst in the possession of a third party; vii) any damage or loss caused as a result of the owner’s failure and/or neglect to follow the instructions set out in the owner’s

manual ;

viii) any loss or damage caused directly as a result of misuse or malfunction of the product when used simultaneously with

associated equipment;

Furthermore, under no circumstances shall Toshiba be liable for any consequential loss and/or damage including but not limited to the following, loss of profit, interruption of business, the loss of recorded data whether caused during normal operation or misuse of the product.

NOTE:

A Toshiba wall bracket or stand, where available, must be used. If a non Toshiba wall bracket or stand is used the product’s

BEAB approval will become void and the equipment is then used at the consumers own risk.

• If stationary images generated by 4:3 broadcasts, text services, channel identification logos, computer displays, video games, on

screen menus, etc. are left on the television screen for any length of time they could become conspicuous, it is always advisable to reduce both the brightness and contrast settings.

• Very long, continuous use of the 4:3 picture on a 16:9 screen may result in some retention of the image at the 4:3 outlines, this

is not a defect of the LCD TV and is not covered under the manufacturers warranty. Regular use of other size modes (eg: Superlive) and varying the “side panel” brightness (if available on the model) will prevent permanent retention.

Connecting an HDMI™ or DVI device to the HDMI input

The HDMI input on your television receives digital audio and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI source device, or uncompressed digital video from a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) source device.

This input is designed to accept HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital-Content Protection) program material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861-D–compliant devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output). For acceptable video signal formats, see page 9.

NOTE:

• Some early HDMI equipment may not work properly with your latest HDMI TV, due to the adoption of a new standard.

• Supported Audio format: Linear PCM, sampling rate 32/

44.1/48kHz.

To connect an HDMI device

Connect an HDMI cable (type A connector) to the HDMI terminal.

For proper operation, it is recommended that you use an HDMI cable with the HDMI Logo ( ).

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

• See “HDMI1 audio” on page 24.
