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.
•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.

The HDMI input on your TV receives digital audio and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI device, or uncompressed digital video from a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP (HighBandwidth Digital-Content Protection) program material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861-D compliant[1] consumer electronic devices (such as a settop box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output). Supported signal formats: VGA, SVGA, XGA, WXGA, SXGA, 480i (60Hz), 480p (60Hz), 720p (60Hz), 1080i (60Hz), and 1080p (24Hz/60Hz). For signal specifications, see p. 84.
Supported Audio format: Linear PCM, sampling rate 32/44.1/48 kHz.
Note:
•For connecting a PC to the HDMI input, see p. 22.
•Some legacy HDMI sources may not work properly with your HDMI TV due to the adoption of new standards. Try disabling the options in HDMI Settings (- p. 48).
To connect an HDMI device, you will need:
•One HDMI cable per HDMI device
–Recommendation: For proper operation, use an HDMI cable with the HDMI Logo (
).
–To display an 1080p/60 Hz signal format, you need a High Speed HDMI cable. A conventional HDMI/DVI cable may not work properly.
–HDMI cables transfer video and audio. Separate analog audio cables are not required.
To view the HDMI device video:
Press 
and B or b to select HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3, or HDMI 4.
Note: For programming the TV remote control to operate other devices, see p. 88.
To connect a DVI device, you will need:
•HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable
–For proper operation, the length of the HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable must not exceed 9.8 ft (3 m). Recomended length: 6.6 ft (2 m).
•3.5 mm Stereo to RCA Y-Cable
–An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers video only. Separate analog audio cables are required.
Note: To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset properly:
•When turning on electronic components, turn on the TV first and then the HDMI or DVI device.
•When turning off electronic components, turn off the HDMI or DVI device first and then the TV.
[1]EIA/CEA-861-D compliance covers the transmission of uncompressed digital video with high-bandwidth digital content protection, which is being standardized for reception of high-definition video signals. Because this is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices may not operate properly with the TV.
