Introduction

Welcome to Toshiba

Thank you for purchasing this Toshiba LCD Color television.

•

This manual will help you use the exciting features of your
new TV.
Instructions in this manual are based on using the remote

•

control.

•

Please read all safety and operating instructions in this
manual carefully, and keep this manual for future reference.

Important Safety Instructions

Be sure to observe the following instructions and precautions
to ensure safe use of this TV.

Installation

1) Always connect the power plug to an appropriate
electrical outlet equipped with 220-240V, AC 50Hz.

Never use the TV outside the specified voltage range. It
may cause a fire or an electric shock.

220-240V AC, 50Hz

4) Never block or cover the slots and openings in the
cabinet.

•

Never place the TV so that it is facing upward or on its
side.

•

Never place the TV in a closet, bookcase or other
similar area where the ventilation is poor.

•

Never drape a newspaper, tablecloth or curtain on the
TV.

•

When installing the TV against a wall, always keep the
TV at least 10 cm away from the wall.

•

Never place the TV on a soft unstable surface, such as
a carpet, or a cushion.

The inside of this TV will overheat if the ventilation holes
are covered, blocked or sealed, which may result in a fire.

5) Never place the TV near a heater or in direct
sunlight.

The surface of the cabinet or power cord may melt and
result in a fire or an electric shock.

Check!

2) Never insert or remove the power plug with wet
hands.

This may cause an electric shock.

3) Never place the TV in an unstabilised location such
as on a shaky table, incline or location subject to
vibration.

The TV may drop or fall off which may cause injury or
damage.

6)

Never place the TV in an area exposed to high
humidity levels, such as in a bathroom or close to a
humidifier.

This may cause a fire or an electric shock.

7) Never place the TV next to a stove where it will be
exposed to oil, smoke, or steam, or in a location
where there is a large quantity of dust.

This may cause a fire or an electric shock.

3

Introduction

8) 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
hooks 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.

9) Precautions for moving the TV

•

When moving the TV, be sure to remove the plug from
the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna cable and
audio/video cables, any steady ties. Fire or electric
shock may result if the power cord is damaged.

•

When carrying the TV, at least two people are needed.
Be sure to carry it upright.

•

Never carry the TV with the screen facing up or down.

Use

1) Never place hot objects or open flame sources,
such as lighted candles or nightlights, on or close
to the TV.

High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires.

2) 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.

When liquids are spilled or small items are dropped
inside the TV, this may cause a fire or an electric shock.
If small objects drop inside the TV, turn off the TV and
remove the power plug from the outlet immediately and
contact a service technician.

10) Precautions for installing on outdoor antenna

An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines, or other electric light or
power circuits.
If the antenna falls down or drops, it may cause injury or
electric shock.

3) Never insert objects (metal or paper) or pour water
inside the TV through ventilation holes and other
openings.

These items may cause a fire or an electric shock.
If these objects are inserted inside the TV, turn off the TV
and remove the power plug from the outlet immediately
and contact a service technician. Be especially careful
that children do not insert objects into the TV.

Clip

4) Never stand or climb on the TV.

Be especially careful in households with children to
prevent them through climbing on top of the TV.
It may move, fall over, break, become damaged or
cause an injury.

4

Introduction

5) When the TV will not be used for a long period of
time, such as during vacation or travel, remove the
power plug from the wall outlet for safety.

•

The TV is not completely disconnected from the power
supply line, as minute current is consumed even when
the

Power switch is turned off.

•

The Mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the
disconnect device, therefore the disconnect device
shall remain readily operable.

6) Never pull on the power cord when removing the
plug from the wall outlet.

Always hold the plug firmly when removing it. If the
power cord is yanked, the cord may become damaged
and a fire or an electric shock may occur.

Service

1) Never repair, modify or disassemble the TV by
yourself.

It may cause a fire or an electric shock. Consult a
service technician for inspection and repairs.

2) When a malfunction occurs, or if smoke or an
unusual odour comes from the TV, turn off the
TV and remove the power plug from the outlet
immediately.

Make sure that the smoke or smell has stopped, then
contact a service technician. If the TV is still used in this
condition, it may cause a fire or an electric shock.

7) Never cut, break, modify, twist, bunch up or bend
the cord or apply excessive force or tension to it.

Never place heavy objects on the cord or allow it to
overheat as this may cause damage, a fire or an electric
shock. Contact a service technician if the power cord is
damaged.

8) If there is thunder or lightning, never touch the
antenna cable or other connected cables.

You may suffer an electric shock.

3) If the TV is dropped or the cabinet is broken, turn off
the TV and remove the power plug from the outlet
immediately.

If the TV is still power used in this condition, it may cause
a fire or an electric shock. If the cabinet is broken, be
careful when handling the TV to prevent an injury. Contact
a service technician for inspection and repair.

4) When the TV reaches the end of its useful life, ask a
qualified service technician to properly dispose of
the TV.

Note:

Introduction

Important information

Cleaning

1) Remove the power plug before cleaning.

Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean
the TV.

•

These solvents may distort the cabinet or damage its
finish.

•

If rubber or vinyl products remain in contact with the TV
for a long time, a stain may result.

If the cabinet becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, dry
cloth.
When cleaning the surface of the LCD display, wipe the
panel surface gently with a soft, dry cloth.

2) Periodically disconnect the power plug from the
outlet and check it.
If dust has collected on the power plug connectors,
clean off the dust with dry cloth.

This dust may cause a fire due to reduced insulation on
the plug.

Getting started

Connecting an antenna

Optimum reception of color requires a good signal and will
generally mean that an outdoor antenna must be used.

The exact type and positioning of the antenna will depend
upon your particular area.

Your Toshiba dealer or service personnel can best advise you
on which antenna to use in your area.

Before connecting the antenna cable, turn off all main power
switches.

Exploring your new TV

Installing the remote control batteries

Remove the battery cover.
Insert two R03 (AAA) batteries matching the –/+ polarities of
the battery to the –/+ marks inside the battery compartment.

Cautions:

•

Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area. Never
throw batteries into a fire.

•

Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of
battery disposal.

Never mix battery types or combine used batteries with new

•

ones.

Notes:

If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the

•

operating range becomes reduced, replace both batteries
with new ones.

If the batteries are dead or if you will not use the remote

•
