Dear Customer,

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

The Issue

• The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend
and larger flat panel displays are popular purchases. However,
flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands
or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

• Flat panel displays that are
inappropriately situated on dressers,

bookcases, shelves, desks,

speakers, chests, or carts may fall

over and cause injury.

TOSHIBA Cares!

• The consumer electronics industry
is committed to making home

entertainment enjoyable and safe.

Tune Into Safety

•

One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
for the safe installation and use of your flat panel display.

• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for
proper use of this product.

• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and
television sets.

• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture
that can easily be used as steps, such
as a chest of drawers.

• Remember that children can
become excited while watching a
program, especially on a “larger
than life” flat panel display. Care
should be taken to place or install
the display where it cannot be
pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

• Care should be taken to route all cords and
cables connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be
pulled or grabbed by curious children.

Wall Mounting: If you decide to wall mount your
flat panel display, always:

• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display
manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such
as UL, CSA, ETL).

• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount
manufacturers.

• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your
flat panel display, contact your retailer about professional
installation.

• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted
to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you
are unsure, contact a professional installer.

• A minimum of two people are
required for installation. Flat panel
displays can be heavy.

CHILD SAFETY:

It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat
Panel Display

Thank you for purchasing this Toshiba LCD TV. This
manual will help you use the many exciting features
of your new LCD TV. Before operating your LCD TV,
please read this manual completely, and keep it
nearby for future reference.

Care

For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA
TV, follow these recommendations and precautions:

34) If you use the TV in a room whose temperature is
32 °F (0 °C) or below, the picture brightness may
vary until the LCD warms up. This is not a sign of
malfunction.

35) Always unplug the TV before cleaning. Gently wipe
the display panel surface (the TV screen) using a dry,
soft cloth (cotton, flannel,
etc.). A hard cloth may
damage the surface of the
panel. Avoid contact with
alcohol, thinner, benzene,
acidic or alkaline solvent
cleaners, abrasive cleaners,
or chemical cloths, which may damage the surface.
Never spray volatile compounds such as insecticide
on the cabinet. Such products may damage or
discolor the cabinet.

36)

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

37) While it is thundering, do not touch the
connecting cables or apparatus.

38) 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.

39) ALWAYS unplug the TV to completely disconnect
from mains power. When the TV is turned off using
the on/off switch, it is not completely disconnected

to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by removing
and applying power to the equipment, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

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

1) An afterimage (ghost) may appear on the screen if
a fixed, nonmoving image is displayed for a long
period of time. The afterimage is not permanent

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Overview of cable types

Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell audio/
video devices. Before purchasing any cables, be sure of
connector types required by your devices and the length
of each cable.

Coaxial cable (F-type)

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

Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)

Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come
in sets of three, and are for use with video devices with
analog audio and composite video output. These cables
(and the related inputs on your TV) are typically color­coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo
right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio.

Component video cables (red/green/blue)

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

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

Coaxial digital audio cable

Coaxial digital audio cable is for connecting receivers
with Dolby Digital or PCM (pulse-code modulation)
digital audio input to the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
terminal ( page 18).

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable is for connecting
a PC to the TV’s PC IN terminal ( page 18).

Note: Separate audio cables are required for a
complete connection.

3.5mm Stereo to RCA Y-cable

3.5mm Stereo to RCA Y-Cable is for connecting audio
signals from a DVI device to the TV.

About the connection illustrations

You can connect different types and brands of devices to
your TV in several different configurations. The connection
illustrations in this manual are representative of typical
device connections only. The input/output terminals on
your devices may differ from those illustrated herein. For
details on connecting and using your specific devices, refer
to each device’s owner’s manual.

HDMI® cable
(with HDMI Logo “ ”)

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable
is for use with devices with an HDMI output. An
HDMI cable delivers digital audio and video in its
native format. This cable carries both video and audio
information; therefore, separate audio cables are not
required for a complete HDMI device connection (
page 16 and page 19).

Note: HDMI cable provides better picture
performance than a standard (composite) video.
