DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS

PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH!

• Use extreme care to make sure you are never in a

position where your body (or any item you are 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.

• Never attempt to install any of the following 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:

36) 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.

37) Always unplug the TV before
cleaning. When cleaning your
TV, please first remove any dirt or
dust from the surface. Gently
wipe the cabinet and the display
panel surface (the TV screen)
with a dry, soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.). Harsh rubbing
or use of a dirty or stiff cloth will scratch the TV surface.
Avoid contact with alcohol, thinner, benzene, acidic or
alkaline solvent cleaners, abrasive cleaners, or chemical
cloths, which may damage the TV surface. Never spray

volatile compounds such as insecticide on the TV
surface. Such products may damage or discolor the TV.

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

39)

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

40) During a lightning storm, do not touch the connecting
cables or TV set.

41) 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.

42) ALWAYS unplug the TV to completely disconnect from
main 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.

43) 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) WARNING: RISK OF

SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE!

Never strike the screen with a sharp
or heavy object.

45) • The LCD screen of this product can be damaged by

ultraviolet radiation from the sun. When selecting a
location for the television, avoid locations where the
screen may be exposed to direct sunlight, such as in
front of a window.

• Never touch, press, or place anything on the LCD

screen. These actions will damage the LCD screen. If
you need to clean the LCD screen, follow the
instructions in item 37 on p. 4.

WARNING:

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Service

46)

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.

WARNING:

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

47) If you have the TV serviced:

• Ask the service technician to use only replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer.

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 is displayed 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

Note:

• For connecting a PC to the HDMI input, see p. 20.

• 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. 41).

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.

– An HDMI cable transfers 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. 79.

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).

•3.5mm 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.

Chapter 3: Using the remote control

Controlling other devices

The TV’s remote control can operate other devices such
as cable converter boxes, satellite receivers, VCRs, DVD
players, and HTIBs (home theater in a box).

Toshiba devices:

The remote is programmed to operate a variety of
devices (- p. 79).

Non-Toshiba devices or Toshiba devices that the remote
control is not programmed to operate:

Program the remote (- p. 79).

Installing batteries

1 Pull up to open the cover.

2 Install two AA size batteries.

Note: Use carbon zinc batteries or alkaline batteries.

3 Slide on the cover.

Caution: Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such
as sunshine, fire, or the like.

Note:

• Every time you change the batteries, you must
reprogram the remote.

• Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.

• Always consider the environment when disposing of

batteries. Always follow applicable laws and regulations.

• If the remote does not operate correctly, or if the
operating range is reduced, replace the batteries.

• Always replace both batteries with new ones. Never mix
battery types or use new and used batteries together.

• Always remove batteries from the remote if they are dead
or if the remote control is not to be used for an extended
period of time. This prevents battery acid from leaking
into the battery compartment.
