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!

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).

If you 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/
