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 the home with your family and friends. Thank you!

temperature rises suddenly (for example, when the TV
is first delivered), condensation may form on the
lenses. This can make the picture appear distorted or
the color appear faded. If this happens, turn off the TV
for 6 to 7 hours to allow the condensation to evaporate.

25) Always make sure the antenna system is properly
grounded to provide adequate protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges (see Section
810 of the National Electric Code).

26) DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS

PERSONAL I NJURY 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:

27) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV
and as directly in front of it as possible. The picture can
appear dull if you sit too far to the left or right of the
TV, or if sunlight or room lights reflect on the screen.
Turn the T V off to check for reflections on the screen,
and then remove the source of reflections while
viewing the TV.

31)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.

32) 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 Center.

33) Possible Adverse Effects on TV Picture Display: If
a fixed (non-moving) pattern or image remains on the
TV screen for extended periods of time, the image can
become permanently ingrained in the cathode ray
tube(s) of the TV and cause subtle but permanent
ghost images. This type of damage is NOT
COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave the
TV on for extended periods of time while it
is displaying the following images or formats:

• Fixed Images, including but not limited to PIP/POP

windows, closed captions, video game patterns, TV
station logos, stock tickers, and websites.

• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen,

including but not limited to widescreen or letterbox
format media viewed on a 4:3 aspect ratio display
(with gray or black bars at the top and bottom of the
screen); or 4:3 aspect ratio format media viewed on a
widescreen/16:9 aspect ratio display (with gray or
black bars on the left and right sides of the screen).

Cable TV connections

This TV/DVD has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV 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.

For subscribers to scrambled cable TV service

If you subscribe to a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the
incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm coaxial cable, connect
the output jack of the converter/descrambler box to the antenna jack on the TV/DVD. Follow the connections
shown below. Set the TV/DVD to the output channel of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4)

Closed captions

WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?

This television has the capability to decode and display closed captioned
television programs. Closed captioning will display text on the screen for
hearing impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in another
language.

CLOSED
CAPTION

Closed captions

Captions: This closed caption mode will display text on the screen in English or another language (depending on the

setting of the closed captions CH 1/2).
Generally, closed captions in English are transmitted on captions channel 1 and closed captions in other languages
are transmitted on captions channel 2.

Text: The text closed caption mode will usually fill the screen with a programming schedule or other information.
After selecting a closed caption mode, it will stay in effect until it is changed, even if the channel is changed.
If the captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in the signal, the captions will reappear when the signal is
received again. If the channels are changed, the captions will be delayed approximately 10 seconds. The captions will
appear in places on the screen where they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom of the screen.
News programs will usually show three-line closed captions which scroll onto the screen.
Most other shows provide two or three lined captions placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer can
follow the dialogue. Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in foreign languages or words requiring empha­sis. Words that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes.
For television programs broadcasting with closed captions, look in your TV guide for the closed captions symbol (CC).

TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS

Press CLOSED CAPTION to switch between normal TV and the two closed caption
modes (captions and full screen text). Closed captioning will display text on the screen
for hearing impaired viewers.

Notes:

• When selecting closed captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.

• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the caption mode.

• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during closed captioning. This is normal with closed captioning,
especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not
allow time for editing.

• When captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may interfere with closed
captions.

• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the closed captioned signal.

• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the closed caption decoder may not appear or may appear with
strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.

NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON TV PICTURE DISPLAY

Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for extended periods of time. Fixed (non-moving) patterns or images
(including but not limited to PIP/POP windows, closed captions, video game patterns, TV station logos, stock tickers,
websites and special formats that do not use the entire screen) can become permanently ingrained in the cathode ray
tube(s) of the TV and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR

WARRANTY.

depends on the TV you use with this unit, you should generally reduce the sharpness adjustment on your TV when viewing
DVD video discs.

Reception disturbances

Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF
antenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results. The most common types of television
interference are shown below. If one of these symptoms appear when the TV/DVD is connected to a Cable
TV system, the disturbance may be caused by the local Cable TV company broadcast.

IGNITION

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, the picture may flutter or
drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems,
neon lamps or AC powered tools and appliances such as drills or hair
dryers.

GHOSTS

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is
the direct path and the other is reflected by tall buildings, hills or other
large objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may
improve the reception.

SNOW

If the TV/DVD is located far from the TV station, in a fringe reception
area where the signal is weak, small dots may appear in the picture.
If the signal is extremely weak, the installation of a larger external
antenna may be necessary.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)

Caused by two-way radios, this type of interference produces moving
ripples or diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases may cause a
loss of contrast in the picture. Changing the direction and position of
the antenna or installing an RFI filter may improve the picture.

PICTURE SIZE VARIATION

A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST
or BRIGHTNESS settings.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the TV/DVD from the power source before cleaning.
The finish on the cabinet may be cleaned with mild soap and a soft, damp cloth and cared for as other furniture.
Use caution when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.
