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

The Issue

 If you are like most Americans, 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!

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

29) [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.

24) 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).

25) 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.

30)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.

31) 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.

32) 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:

26) 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.

27) Always unplug the TV before
cleaning. Never use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.

28) WARNI NG: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

FEB02

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

Service

33) WARNI NG: 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.

34) 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.

35) 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.

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

®

(component video) inputs are color-coded in

the same manner as the cables.

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.)

CAUTION: Do not plug in any power cords
until you have finished connecting all equipment.

Programming the remote control for use with
your audio/video devices

Using the

Remote Control

Device code setup

1. Refer to the Device code table on pages 18–21 to find the code
for your device.

If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you
find the one that works.

2. Press MODE until the mode indicator of the device (CABLE/
SAT, VCR, DVD, AUDIO1, AUDIO2) lights up.

3. While holding down RECALL, press the CHANNEL
NUMBERS to enter the four-digit code for your device.
Release the buttons.

If a valid code is entered, the mode indicator will blink twice.
If an invalid code is entered, there will be one long blink.

4. Point the remote control at the device and press POWER to test
the code.

If the device turns on, you have entered the right code.
If the device does not respond to the remote control, you may

have entered an invalid code. Repeat steps 3 and 4 using another
code.

5. To control the TV, press MODE until TV mode lights up.

Searching and sampling the code of a device (991)

If you do not know the device code for a particular device, you can
cycle the remote control through the available codes for that device
and sample functions to find the code that operates the device. The
keys available to be sampled, provided they are applicable to that
mode, are 0, 1, 2, 3, POWER, VOL y, CH y, PLAY, and STOP.
Invalid keys will be ignored while in program mode.

To cycle through each available device code and sample its functions:

1. Press MODE to select the mode you want to set up.

2. While holding down RECALL, press 9, 9, 1 in sequence. The
remote control will enter program mode.

3. Point the remote control at the device, and then press POWER
(or other function buttons that are available to be sampled).

4. If the device responds to the remote control:

Press RECALL to store the device code.
The mode indicator will blink two times, and the remote
control will exit the program mode.

If the device does not respond to the remote control:

Press y, and then press POWER.
Repeat this step until the device responds to the remote
control, and then press RECALL.

RECALL

Note:

• Every time you replace the batteries, you
must reprogram the remote control.

• Some newer VCRs are capable of working
on either of two remote codes. These VCRs
have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.”

If your VCR has this kind of switch and
does not respond to any of the codes for
your VCR brand, set the switch to the other
position (VCR1 or VCR2) and reprogram
the remote control.

Reference

Note: When a search cycle is done, the mode indicator will blink three times.

The remote control will begin to cycle through the available codes again.
If no key is pressed within 10 seconds while programming, the remote
control will exit the program mode and return to the previous code.

16

Verifying the device code (990)

Use this feature to verify the codes for your other devices. The
number of blinks after pressing the 1, 2, 3, and 4 buttons is the
4-digit code set up for that mode.

For example, to verify the VCR device code:

1. Press MODE to select the VCR mode.

2. While holding down RECALL, press 9, 9, 0 in sequence.

3. Press 1 ➝ 0 blinks.

4. Press 2 ➝ 3 blinks.

5. Press 3 ➝ 8 blinks.

6. Press 4 ➝ 5 blinks.

This verifies that the device code of the VCR is “0385.”

Using the Volume Lock feature (993)

For the TV, CABLE/SAT, VCR, and DVD modes, the volume
controls (VOL yz and MUTE) can be programmed (locked) to the
selected device mode. This feature does not apply to the AUDIO1/2
modes.

For example, to lock the volume controls to the CABLE/SAT mode:

1. Press MODE to select the CABLE/SAT mode.

2. While holding down RECALL, press 9, 9, 3 in sequence.

3. Press VOL y. The Mode indicator will blink two times (locked).

Blocking programs by ratings

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) uses a rating
system to qualify motion picture content. Television broadcasters
employ a similar rating system to qualify the content of television
programs. The MPAA, Youth TV, and TV ratings work with the
V-Chip feature to allow you to block access to programs that exceed
the rating limits you set.
