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 certication 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.

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 (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.

channel scan or the Channel add function, see “Auto Tuning” on page
46, you will have to tune the RF channel using the Channel Numbers
and the (Dash 100) button on the remote control.
Switching between two channels using Channel Return
The Channel Return feature allows you to switch between two
channels without entering an actual channel number each time.
1 Select the rst channel you want to view.
2 Select a second channel using the Channel Number buttons
(and the (Dash 100) button if selecting a digital channel).
3 Press the CH RTN button on the remote control.
The previous channel will display. Each time you press the CH
RTN button, the TV will switch back and forth between the last
two channels that were tuned.
If you press the CH RTN button from a non-antenna input, the TV
will return to the last-viewed input.
Switching between two channels using SurfLock™
The SurfLock™ feature temporarily “memorizes” one channel to
the CH RTN button, so you can return to that channel quickly from
any other channel by pressing the CH RTN button.
To memorize a channel to the CH RTN button:
1 Tune the TV to the channel you wish to program into the CH
RTN button.
2 Press and hold the CH RTN button for a few seconds until the
message “Memorized” appears on the screen. The channel has
been programmed to the CH RTN button.
3 You can then change channels repeatedly, and when you press
the CH RTN button, the memorized channel will be tuned.
The TV will return to the memorized channel one time only. Once
you press the CH RTN button and then change channels again, the
CH RTN memory will be cleared and the button will function as
Channel Return, by switching back and forth between the last two
channels that are tuned.This feature also works for external inputs.
