NOTE TO CATV INSTALLERS

This is a reminder to call the CATV system installer’s
attention to Article 820-40 of the U.S. NEC, which
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical. For
additional antenna grounding information, see 33) and

34) on page 4.

cut by broken glass, rinse the affected area
thoroughly with water and contact your doctor
immediately.

• ALWAYS contact a service technician to inspect
the TV any time it has been damaged or
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.

• To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of
plug to wide slot; fully insert.

16)

• NEVER allow children to climb on the TV.

25)

To avoid damage to this product, never place or

areas subject to excessive dust or vibration.

26)

Always place the TV on the floor or a sturdy, level,
stable surface that can support the weight of the
unit. To secure the TV, use a sturdy strap from the
hook(s) on the rear of the TV to a wall stud, pillar,
or other immovable structure. Make sure the strap
is tight, secure, and parallel to the floor.

27)

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing, and that no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

28)

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.

29)

Always leave a space of at least 4 (four) inches
around the TV. The slots and openings are
provided to protect the TV from overheating and to
help maintain reliable operation of the TV.

30)

Never allow anything to rest on or roll over the
power cord, and never place the TV where the
power cord is subject to wear or abuse.

31)

Never overload wall outlets and extension cords.

32)

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

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.

during lightning activity: a) an antenna system;
or b) cables, wires, or any home theater
component connected to an antenna or phone
system.

Care

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

35)

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.

36)

When cleaning:

• 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.

• Never use using chemicals (such as air
refreshers, cleaning agents, etc.) on or near the
TV pedestal. Studies indicate that plastics may
weaken and crack over time from the
combination effects of chemical agents and
mechanical stress (such as weight of TV).
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious injury and/or permanent damage to TV
and TV pedestal.

37)

WARNING:

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

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

During a lightning storm, do not touch the
connecting cables or product.

39)

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.

40)

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
from power and a minute amount of current is still
consumed.

41)

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 Provider.

44)

WARN ING:

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. Failure to
follow this WARNING may result in death or
serious injury. Refer all servicing not specified in
this manual to a Toshiba Authorized Service
Provider.

45)

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.

46)

The cold cathode fluorescent lamp inside the LCD
panel contains a small amount of mercury. When
the TV reaches the end of its useful life, dispose of
the used TV by the approved method for your
area, or ask a qualified service technician to
properly dispose of the TV.

Note: The lamp(s) inside this product
contain mercury. Disposal may be

regulated due to environmental
considerations. For disposal or recycling
information, contact your local authorities or the
Electronics Industries Alliance (www.eiae.org).

Important notes about your LCD TV

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, non-moving image appears for a long
period of time. The afterimage is not permanent
and will disappear in a short period of time.

2)

The LCD panel contained in this TV is
manufactured using an extremely high level of
precision technology; however, there may be an
occasional pixel (dot of light) that does not operate
properly (does not light, remains constantly lit,
etc.). This is a structural property of LCD
technology, is not a sign of malfunction, and is not
covered under your warranty. Such pixels are not
visible when the picture is viewed from a normal
viewing distance.

the screen.

❖ Place the TV far enough from walls and other objects to

allow proper ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may cause
overheating, which will damage the TV. THIS TYPE OF
DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TOSHIBA
WARRANTY.

3 Do not plug in any power cords until after you have connected

all cables and devices to your TV.

4 Before connecting cables or devices to the TV, learn the

functions of the TV’s connections and controls, see “Overview

of cable types” on page 21.

5 Connect your other electronic device(s) to the TV, see

“Connecting an HDMI® or DVI device to the HDMI® input”
on page 26.

6 Install the batteries in the remote control, see “Installing

batteries” on page 35.

Connecting an HDMI® or DVI device to the HDMI® input

EIA/CEA-861-D compliance covers the transmission of

technology, it is possible that some devices may not operate properly
with the TV.
