Child Safety

It Makes A Difference
Where Your TV Stands

Congratulations on your purchase!
As you enjoy your new TV, keep these safety tips in mind:

The Issue

 If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your home. Many homes,

in fact, have more than one TV.

 The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger

TVs are popular purchases; however, they are not always supported on
the proper TV stands.

 Sometimes TVs are improperly secured or inappropriately

situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio

speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may fall over,

causing unnecessary injury.

Toshiba Cares!

 The consumer electronics industry is committed to
making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.

 The Consumer Electronics Association formed the

Home Entertainment Support Safety Committee,

comprised of TV and consumer electronics furniture

manufacturers, to advocate children’s safety and educate

consumers and their families about television safety.

Tune Into Safety

 One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate furniture large enough to

support the weight of your TV (and other electronic components).

 Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure your furniture

to the wall (but never screw anything directly into the TV).

 Carefully read and understand the other enclosed instructions for proper

use of this product.

 Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture and TVs.
 Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR, remote control,

or toy) that a curious child may reach for.

 Remember that children can become excited while watching a program

and can potentially push or pull a TV over.

 Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of

your family and friends. Thank you!

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

Introduction

perceived defects 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.

Precautions

Notes on handling

■ Do not subject the LCD panel to physical shock, such as

dropping it. It may cause unit damage and malfunction.

■ Retain the original shipping carton and packing

materials. For maximum protection when shipping,
repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

■ Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide, near the

unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact
with the unit for prolonged periods of time. Doing so will
leave marks on the finish.

■ The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm

after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.

■ When the unit is not in use, turn off the power.

■ If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit may

not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the
unit occasionally.

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.

Notes on cleaning

Clean only with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

Notes on LCD

■ The fluorescent tube which illuminates the panel from
the inside will deteriorate with use. When the LCD
becomes dim, flickers, or does not illuminate, contact
your dealer for replacement.

■ The brightness of the LCD monitor differs slightly
depending on the viewing angles. Adjust the angle to
obtain the best viewing. (The recommended angle is 90
degrees to the monitor.)

Notes on locating the unit

■ When you place this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may
be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the
TV, radio, or VCR.

■ To avoid damage to this product, never place or store
the TV in direct sunlight; hot, humid areas; or areas

Selecting a location for the TV

• Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location where

light does not directly hit the screen.

• Place the TV far enough from the walls to allow proper ventilation.

Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which may damage
the TV.

Connecting your TV

If you haven’t connected electronic equipment before, or you have
been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section. (Cables
are not supplied.)

• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your

antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.

• Standard A/V (audio/video) cables are usually color coded accord-

ing to use: yellow for video and red and white for audio. The red
audio cable is for the stereo right channel, and the white audio
cable is for the stereo left (or mono) channel. If you look at the rear
panel of the TV, you will see that the terminals are color coded in
the same manner as the cables.

• S-video cables provide better picture performance than standard

video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video
compatible components.

• Component video cables provide better picture performance than

S-video cables. Component video cables can only be used with
component video compatible components.

• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use with

video equipment that has HDMI output (see page 15).

Note:

To prevent equipment damage,
do not plug in any power cords
until you have finished
connecting all equipment.

Connecting a cable converter box or antenna

This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable
channels without using a cable company supplied converter box. Some
cable companies offer "premium pay channels" in which the signal is
scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the
use of a descrambler device, which is generally provided by the cable
company.

Option 1: For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service

For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box,
connect the incoming 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna
Jack on the back of the television.

Option 2: For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service

If you subscribe to a cable service that requires the use of a Converter/
Descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the Converter/
Descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the Antenna
Jack on the back of the television. Follow the connections shown below.
Set the television to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box
(usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to
select channels.

Connecting your TV

Option 3: For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with
Scrambled Premium Channels

If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are
unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/
Descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (some­times called a "two-set coupler") and an A/B Switch box from the cable
installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown
below. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune any
nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A" position,
tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually
channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.

Note:

When you use a converter box with your TV,
there may be features that you cannot
program using the remote control, such as
labeling channels, blocking channels, and
programming your favorite channels.

Connecting an HDMI™ or a DVI device to the HDMI input

The HDMI
uncompressed digital video from an HDMI device or
uncompressed digital video from a DVI

This input is designed to accept HDCP
in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861B–compliant
consumer electronic devices (such as a set-top box or
DVD player with HDMI or DVI output).

The HDMI input is designed for best performance with high
definition video signals. It will accept and display 480i,
480p, 720p and 1080i signals.

Note: The HDMI jack is not intended for connection to

To connect an HDMI device, you will need:

• one HDMI cable (type A connector)

You must set the HDMI audio input setting to
“HDMI” in the AUDIO menu (see page 38).

Some CDVs (Video CDs) may not output digital audio
signals. In that case, you may hear sound by connecting
analog audio cables. If you do use analog audio cables for
this reason, you will need to set the HDMI audio input
setting to “DVI” to hear the analog audio (see page 38).
Note: If you connect an HDMI device and analog audio
cables and play media with digital audio output, to hear
digital audio you must set the HDMI audio input setting
to “HDMI” (page 38).

and should not be used with a personal
computer. For PC connection, see page 16.

For proper operation, it is recommended that you use
as short an HDMI cable as possible. You should not
encounter difficulty if you use an HDMI cable that is
shorter than 16.4 ft (5m).

HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate
analog audio cables are not required (see illustration
below).

HDCP = High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection.

[4]

EIA/CEA-861/861B compliance covers the
transmission of uncompressed digital video with high­bandwidth 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.

To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset prop­erly, it is recommended that you follow these proce­dures:

• When turning on your electronic components, turn on
the TV first, and then the HDMI or DVI device.

• When turning off your electronic components, turn off
the HDMI or DVI device first, and then the TV.

To connect a DVI device, you will need:

• one HDMI–to–DVI adapter cable
(HDMI type A connector)

For proper operation, the length of an HDMI-to-DVI
adapter cable should not exceed 9.8 ft (3m). The
recommended length is 6.6 ft (2m).

• one pair of standard analog audio cables

An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers only video.
Separate analog audio cables are required (see
illustration below).

You must set the HDMI audio input setting to “DVI”
in the AUDIO menu (see page 38).

Setting up your TV

Using the remote control

Preparing the remote control for use

With the remote control, you can operate your TV, most cable TV
converters/satellite receivers, VCRs, and DVD players together, even if
they are different brands. If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba
satellite receiver, VCR, or DVD player, your remote control is already
programmed and ready to use. If you own different brands of cable TV
converters/satellite receivers, VCRs, and/or DVD players, you must
first program your remote control. (See “Programming the
remote control to operate your other devices," on page 18.)

Installing the remote control batteries

To install the batteries:

1. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote control.

2. Install two “AAA” size batteries. Match the + and – signs on the
batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.

Note:

The TV remote control may not operate your
VCR, DVD player, or cable TV converter.
Refer to the owner's manual supplied with
your other devices to see which features may
be available. Additionally, the remote control
for this TV may not support certain features
available on the original remote controls for
your other devices, in which case it is
suggested that you use the original remote
control for the applicable device.

Caution:

• Never throw batteries into a fire.

Notes:

•

Be sure to use AAA size batteries.

•

Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.

•

Batteries should always be disposed of with the
environment in mind. Always dispose of batteries in
accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

•

If the remote control does not operate correctly,
or if the operating range becomes reduced,
replace batteries with new ones.

•

When necessary to replace batteries in the
remote control, always replace both batteries
with new ones. Never mix battery types or use
new and used batteries in combination.

•

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

The remote control does not operate • Make sure the TV • CBL/SAT • VCR • DVD mode is set properly.

• Remove all obstructions between the remote control and the TV.

• The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the batteries.

The top panel buttons do not operate • Check the PANEL LOCK feature.

Poor composite or S-video picture If the TV is connected to an external A/V device (e.g., DVD player, video

game system, set-top box, etc.) always try to use the ColorStream video
jacks (and corresponding audio jacks) or the HDMI input (if available) for
connection to such external A/V device. This will reduce the amount of video
processing to be performed by the television.

Picture and sound are out of sync As with all products that contain a digital display, in rare instances, when

viewing certain content (e.g., television broadcasts, video games, DVDs) or
with varous audio system connections, you may notice that the picture and
sound are slightly out of sync. This phenomenon can be caused by various
factors including, without limitation, video processing within the TV, video
processing in an attached gaming system, and video processing/different
compression rates used by broadcasters in their programming. You may
want to try one or more of the following suggestions, which may help to
reduce the effect of this phenomenon:

• If the TV is connected to an A/V receiver that has a programmable audio

delay feature, use this feature to help synchronize the sound to the picture.

• If you notice this phenomenon only on certain TV channels, please contact

Appendix

your local broadcast, cable, or satellite provider to inform them of this
issue.
