WARNING: If you decide to wall mount this

television, always use a mounting bracket that has been Listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL) and is appropriate for the size and weight of this television. The use of inappropriate or non-Listed mounting brackets could result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage. See “To

34) on page 4.

CHILD SAFETY:

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

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.

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.

• 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.

Clean only with dry cloth.

Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

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 LED warms up. This is not a sign of malfunction.

36)

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

• 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.

37)

Never hit, press, or place anything on the back cover. These actions will damage internal parts.

Important notes about your 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.

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.

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.

Note: Interactive video games that involve shooting a “gun” type of joystick at an on-screen target may not work with this TV.

Overview of installation, setup, and use

Follow these steps to set up your TV and begin using its many exciting features.

1 Carefully read the important safety, installation, care, and

service information. Keep this manual for future reference.

2 To choose a location for the TV:

❖ Read “Important notes about your TV” on page 7.

❖ Place the TV on the floor or a sturdy, level, stable surface

that can support the weight of the unit. Secure the TV to a wall, pillar, or other immovable structure, see 25) on page 4.

❖ Place the TV in a location where light does not reflect on

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 22.

5 Connect your other electronic devices to the TV. See

“Connecting an HDMI® or DVI device to the HDMI® input” on page 29.

6 Install the batteries in the remote control. See “Installing

batteries” on page 41.

7 See “Learning about the remote control” on page 44 for an

overview of the buttons on the remote control.

8 After connecting all cables and devices, plug in the power

cords for your TV and other devices. Then press the POWER button on the TV control panel or remote control to turn on the TV. If the TV stops responding to the buttons on the remote control or TV control panel and you cannot turn the TV off or on, unplug the power cords for a few seconds and then plug them in and try again.

9 See “Navigating the menu system” on page 49 for a quick

overview of navigating the TV’s menu system.

Connecting Your TV

Overview of cable types

Before purchasing cables, know the connector types your devices require. You can purchase cables from most stores that sell audio/video devices.

Coaxial (F-type) cable

(Sample Illustration) Coaxial cable

Coaxial (F-type) cable connects 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)

(Sample Illustration) Standard AV cables

Page 23

Overview of cable types

NOTE

Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in sets of three, and connect to 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.

Component video cables (red/green/blue)

(Sample Illustration) Component video cables

Connecting Your TV

Component video cables come in sets of three and connect with video devices with component video output. (ColorStream 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.

Component video cables provide better picture quality than composite video cables.
