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
• ALWAY S 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.

for help.
Caution: Changes or modications to this equipment
not expressly approved by Toshiba could void the
user's authority to operate this equipment.
Wireless Radio
For products available in the USA/Canada market,
only channel 1–11 can be operated. Selection of other
channels is not possible. The device can automatically
discontinue transmission in case of absence of information
to transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not
intended to prohibit transmission of control or signaling
information or the use of repetitive codes where required
by the technology. If this device is going to be operated in
5.15–5.25 GHz frequency range, then it is restricted to an
indoor environment only.
Important: Any changes or modications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate
this equipment. This device and its antenna(s) must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any

Important notes about your 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.

if a xed, non-moving image appears 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 viewing distance.
Note: Interactive video games that involve shooting a
“gun” type of joystick at an on-screen target may not
work with this TV.

Overview of cable types
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 colorcoded 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)

Connecting remote IR devices
Using the IR blaster OUT terminal
You can use the TV’s IR OUT terminal to remotely operate many infrared
remote-controlled devices enclosed in an entertainment center or similar
cabinet.
Items needed:
❖Dual-wand IR blaster cable (see “Dual-wand IR blaster cable” on
page 26)
❖Other cables as required to connect the device(s) to the TV (see
“Overview of cable types” on page 25)
See the remote IR blaster setup section (see page 56).

Connecting remote IR devices
To connect the IR blaster cable:
1 Locate the infrared sensor on the front of your device. This sensor
is marked on some devices. If you are having issues locating the
device's infrared sensor, see “If you cannot locate the device’s
infrared sensor:” on page 33.
2 Align one of the IR blaster cable’s wands approximately 1 inch
away from the infrared sensor on the front of the device and attach
it using double-sided mounting tape. If you have a second device,
attach the second wand in a similar manner.
NOTE
If you do not have a second device, coil the second wand with a rubber
band and leave it behind the TV.
3 Plug the IR blaster cable’s plug into the TV’s IR Blaster Out
terminal.

Satisfactory quality may not be attainable with certain devices.
If you cannot locate the device’s infrared sensor:
1 Turn off the device.
2 Starting at the device’s lower-left corner, place the end of the
device’s remote control (with the infrared emitter) so it touches the
front of the device. Press the POWER button.
(Do not use the TV’s remote control for this step.)
3 If the device turns on, the sensor is located where the remote control
