CHILD SAFETY:

PROPER TELEVISION PLACEMENT MATTERS

TOSHIBA CARES

• Manufacturers, retailers and the rest of the consumer electronics industry are committed to making home entertainment safe and enjoyable.

• As you enjoy your television, please note that all televisions – new and old- must be supported on proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Televisions that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, carts, etc., may fall over, resulting in injury.

TUNE IN TO SAFETY

• ALWAYS follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation of your television.

• ALWAYS read and follow all instructions for proper use of your television.

• NEVER allow children to climb on or play on the television or the furniture on which the television is placed.

• NEVER place the television on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

• ALWAYS install the television where it cannot be pushed, pulled over or knocked down.

• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to the television so that they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNT YOUR TELEVISION

• ALWAYS contact your retailer about professional installation if you have any doubts about your ability to safely mount your television.

• ALWAYS use a mount that has been recommended by the television manufacturer and has a safety certication by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).

• ALWAYS follow all instructions supplied by the television and mount manufacturers.

• ALWAYS make sure that the wall or ceiling where you are mounting the television is appropriate. Some mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls and ceilings with steel studs or cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.

• Televisions can be heavy. A minimum of two people is required for a wall or ceiling mount installation.

MOVING AN OLDER TELEVISION TO A NEW PLACE IN YOUR HOME

• Many new television buyers move their older CRT televisions into a secondary room after the purchase of a at-panel television. Special care should be made in the placement of older CRT televisions.

• ALWAYS place your older CRT television on furniture that is sturdy and appropriate for its size and weight.

• NEVER place your older CRT television on a dresser where children may be tempted to use the drawers to climb.

• ALWAYS make sure your older CRT television does not hang over the edge of your furniture.

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)

WARNING: RISK OF SERIOUS

PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE!

• 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, annel, 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.

38)

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

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.

Please tighten this connection by hand. Using tools may damage the connection.

Connecting Your TV

Overview of cable types

Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)

(Sample Illustration) Standard AV cables

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)

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

HDMITM cable (with HDMI Logo)

HDMITM CEC connection

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 highdeﬁnition video signals. Because this is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices may not operate properly with the TV.

HDMITM CEC connection

You can control the basic functions of connected audio/video devices using the TV’s remote control if you connect a HDMITM CEC compatible audio receiver or playback device. The HDMITM CEC Control feature uses CEC technology as regulated by the HDMITM standard.
