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
a
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.
a
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
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.
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.
HDMI™ cable (with HDMI Logo “”)
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 19 and page 22).
Note: HDMI cable provides better picture performance than a
standard (composite) video or S-video cable.
Dual-wand IR blaster cable
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 17).

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)
Component video cables come in sets of three and are for use
with video devices with component video output.
(ColorStream
cables are typically color-coded red, green, and blue. Separate
audio cables are required for a complete connection.
Note: Component video cables provide better picture

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV
Connecting a device to the IR OUT
infrared terminal using the IR
blaster cable for IR pass-through
device control
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 13)
• other audio/video cables as required to connect the device(s)
to the TV (- pages 14–19)
Front of IR-controlled DVD player (for example)
To connect the IR blaster cable:
1Locate the infrared sensor on the front of your device.
This sensor is marked on some devices.*
2Align 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.
3Plug 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.

Note:
• If you use the device’s remote control to operate the device,
you also will need to use the TV’s remote control to operate
the TV.
• 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:
1Turn OFF the device.
2Starting 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.)
3If the device turns on, the point at which the remote
control touched the device is the location of the sensor.
4If the device does not turn on, move the remote control
slightly to the right and press POWER again.
5Repeat step 4 until you locate the device’s infrared
sensor.

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 75.
Supported Audio format: Linear PCM, sampling rate 32/44.1/
48 kHz
Note: To connect a PC to the HDMI input, see page 22.
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 ().
– To display an 1080p/60Hz signal format, you will need a
Category 2 cable. Conventional HDMI/DVI cable may not
work properly.
– HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate
analog audio cables are not required (see illustration).
– See “Setting the HDMI
TV lower back panel
