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.

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 (F-type) cable

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

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 color-coded according to
use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio, and white for
stereo left (or mono) audio.

S-video cable

input on your TV.

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 17 and page 19).

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

Optical audio cable

Optical audio cable is for connecting receivers with Dolby
Digital or PCM (pulse-code modulation) optical 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 19).

S-video cable is for use with video devices with S-video
output. Separate audio cables are required for a complete
connection.

Note: An S-video cable provides better picture performance
than a composite video cable. If you connect an S-video
cable, be sure to disconnect the standard (composite) video
cable or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

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 or S-video
cable.

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.

Chapter 3: Using the remote control

Programming the remote control
to control your other devices

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 22.

If

the device does not respond, repeat steps 1–4 using

another code.

If the device does not respond to another code, you
will need to use the remote control that came with the
device.

the TV remote control operate your device. If some keys are
not operational, repeat the device code setup using another
code (if other codes are listed for your device). If, after
trying all listed codes, the necessary keys do not operate
your device, use the device’s original remote control.

Every time you change the batteries, you will need to

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.

Chapter 3: Using 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, use
the device’s remote control.

Picture and sound are out of sync

•

As with all products that contain a digital display, in rare
instances, when viewing certain content (e.g.. television
broadcasts, video games, DVDs), you may notice that
the sound and picture are slightly out of sync. This
phenomenon can be caused by various factors including,
without limitation, video processing within the TV,
video processing in an attached gaming system, and
video processing or different compression rates used by
broadcasters in their programming. You may want to try
one or more of the following suggestions, which may
help to reduce the effect of this phenomenon:
–

If the TV is connected to an A/V receiver that has a
programmable audio delay feature, use this feature to
help synchronize the sound to the picture.

–

If you notice this phenomenon only on certain TV
channels, please contact your local broadcast, cable, or
satellite provider to inform them of this issue.
