Safety

It Makes A Difference

WhereYourTVStands

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 TVsare improperly secured or

inappropriately situated oil dressers, bookcases, shelves,
desks, audio speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVs

may fall over, causing unnecessary injury.

ToshibaCares!

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

television safety.

Tune Into Safety

_J One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate

furniture large enough to support the weight of your

TV (and other electronic components).

r.j Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to

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

_J Carefully read and understand the other enclosed

instructions for proper use of this product.

_J Do not allow children to climb on or play with

furniture and TVs.

r.j Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a

VCR, remote control, or toy) that a curious child may

reach for.

_J Remember that children can become excited while

watching a program and can potentially push or pull

a TV over.

of the home with your family and friends. Thank you!

Ifyou 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)

and use the converter/descrambler box to select channels.

Ifyou subscribe to a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the
use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B Switch box (available from the

cable company 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/DVD. With the switch in the "A" position, tune
your TV/DVD to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/

descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.
