Where Your TV Stands

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

The Issue

a If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your

home. Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV.

a 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!

a 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

a One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate

furniture large enough to support the weight of your TV (and other electronic components).

a Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to

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

a Carefully read and understand the other enclosed

instructions for proper use of this product.

a Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture

and TVs.

a 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.

a Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of

the home with your family and friends. Thank you!

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Overview of cable types

Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell audio/video devices. Before purchasing any cables, be sure of connector types required by your devices and the length of each cable.

Coaxial (F-type) cable

Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your antenna, cable TV service, and/or cable converter box to the ANT input on your TV.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use with devices with an HDMI output. An HDMI cable delivers digital audio and video in its native format. This cable carries both video and audio information; therefore, separate audio cables are not required for a complete HDMI device connection (- page 20 and page 23).

Note: HDMI cable provides better picture performance than a standard (composite) video or S-video cable.

Dual-wand IR blaster cable

Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)

Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in sets of three, and are for use with video devices with analog audio and composite video output. These cables (and the related inputs on your TV) are typically color-coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio.

S-video cable

S-video cable is for use with video devices with S-video output. Separate audio cables are required for a complete connection.

Note: An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a composite video cable. If you connect an S-video cable, be sure to disconnect the standard (composite) video cable or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

Component video cables (red/green/blue)

Dual-wand IR blaster cable is for use with video devices with IR (infrared) remote control. This cable can be used with the TV’s IR pass-through feature (- page 18).

You can use the TV’s IR OUT terminal (infrared passthrough) to remotely operate (through the TV) many infrared remote-controlled devices (such as Toshiba infrared remotecontrolled VCRs or DVD players) enclosed within an entertainment center or similar cabinet. Without the IR OUT connection, the device typically would need to be visible to operate it remotely.

You will need:

• dual-wand IR blaster cable (- page 14)

• other audio/video cables as required to connect the device(s)

to the TV (- pages 15–20)

Front of IR-controlled DVD player (for example)

To connect the IR blaster cable:

1 Locate the infrared sensor on the front of your device.

This sensor is marked on some devices.*

2 Align one of the IR blaster cable’s wands about 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. (See illustration.)

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 OUT

terminal.

To control the device(s):

Point either the device’s remote control or the TV remote control (that you previously programmed to operate the device; - Chapter 3) toward the front of the TV and press the button for the desired function. The signal passes from the remote control through the TV to the device via the IR blaster cable.

• The IR pass-through feature does not support all IR-controlled devices; satisfactory performance 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 lower left corner of the device, place the

end of the device’s remote control (with the infrared emitter) so it touches the front of the device and press POWER. (Do not use the TV’s remote control for this step.)

3 If the device turns on, the point at which the remote

control touched the device is the location of the sensor.

4 If the device does not turn on, move the remote control

slightly to the right and press POWER again.

5 Repeat step 4 until you locate the device’s infrared

sensor.

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting an HDMI™ or DVI device to the HDMI input

The HDMI input on your TV receives digital audio and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI source device, or uncompressed digital video from a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) source device.

This input is designed to accept HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital-Content Protection) program material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861-D–compliant devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output).

The HDMI input can accept and display VGA, 480i (60Hz), 480p (60Hz), 720p (60Hz), 1080i (60Hz), and 1080p (24Hz/ 60Hz) signal formats. For detailed signal specifications, see page 109.

Note:

• Some of legacy HDMI sources may not work properly with your latest HDMI TV, due to new standard adoption. Please try to set Off the following three options (Lip-Sync Latency, Deep Color, xvYCC). Your legacy HDMI source should operate properly with your TV. See page 75.

• Supported Audio format : Linear PCM, sampling rate 32/

44.1/48kHz

To connect an HDMI device, you will need:

• one HDMI cable (type A connector) per HDMI device

– For proper operation, it is recommended that you use an

HDMI cable with the HDMI Logo ( ).

– If your HDMI connection is capable of 1080p and/or your

Chapter 3: Using the remote control

Installing the remote control batteries

To install the remote control batteries:

1 Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote control.

2 Install two “AA” size alkaline batteries. Match the + and

– symbols on the batteries to the symbols on the battery compartment.

3 Slide the battery cover on to the remote control until the

lock snaps.

Caution: Never throw batteries into a fire.

Note:

• Be sure to use AA size alkaline 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 the batteries from the 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.
