Safety Precautions
This equipment has been designed and
manufactured to meet international safety standards
but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken
to obtain the best results and for safety to be assured.
Please read the points below for your own safety.
They are of a general nature, intended to help with all
electronic consumer products, and some points may
not apply to the goods you have just purchased.
Leave more than 10cm clearance around the
television to allow adequate ventilation. This will
prevent overheating and possible damage to the
television. Dusty places should also be avoided.
Damage may occur if the television is left in direct
sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places subject to
extremely high temperatures or humidity. Place in a
location where the temperature remains between
5°C min. and 35°C max.
The mains supply required for this equipment is 220240v AC 50/60Hz. Never connect to a DC supply or any
other power source. DO ensure that the television is
not standing on the mains lead. Use only the supplied
lead.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment,
this incorporates a special Radio Interference Filter,
the removal of which will impair its performance.
IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE CONSULT A COMPETENT
ELECTRICIAN.
DO read the operating instructions before you
attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including
the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are
properly made and in accordance with the
manufacturers’ instructions. Switch off and withdraw
the mains plug before making or changing
connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about
the installation, operation or safety of your
equipment.
WARNING: To prevent injury, this apparatus must be
securely attached to the floor/wall in accordance with
the installation instructions. See page 5.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on
equipment.
DO NOT obstruct the ventilation openings of the
equipment with items such as newspapers,
tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause
damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DO NOT allow electrical equipment to be exposed to
dripping or splashing or objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.
DO NOT place hot objects or naked flame sources,
such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to
equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and
lead to fires.
DO NOT use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with
wood screws. To ensure complete safety, always fit
the manufacturer’s approved stand, bracket or legs
with the fixings provided according to the
instructions.
DO NOT leave equipment switched on when it is
unattended, unless it is specifically stated that it is
designed for unattended operation or has a standby
mode. Switch off by withdrawing the plug, and make
sure your family knows how to do this. Special
arrangements may need to be made for people with
disabilities.
DO NOT continue to operate the equipment if you
are in any doubt about it working normally, or it is
damaged in any way – switch off, withdraw the mains
plug and consult your dealer.
WARNING – excessive sound pressure from
earphones or headphones can cause hearing loss.
ABOVE ALL - NEVER let anyone, especially
children, push or hit the screen and cabinet back,
or push anything into holes, slots or any other
openings in the case. These actions will damage
screen or internal parts.

INSTALLING YOUR TV
English
Installation and important information
Locate the television away from direct sunlight and strong
lights. Soft, indirect lighting is recommended for
comfortable viewing. Use curtains or blinds to prevent
direct sunlight falling on the screen.
Place the TV on a stable, level surface that can support
the weight of the TV. In order to prevent injury and
maintain stability of this apparatus, secure the TV to
the level surface using the strap if fitted, or to a wall
using a sturdy tie to the P clips provided. Otherwise
secure the TV on the level surface using the supplied
mounting screw.
The LCD display panels are manufactured using an
extremely high level of precision technology; however,
sometimes some parts of the screen may be missing
picture elements or have luminous spots. This is not a sign
of a malfunction.
Make sure the television is located in a position where it
cannot be pushed or hit by objects, as pressure will break
or damage the screen. Also, please be certain that small
items cannot be inserted into slots or openings in the case.
Cleaning the screen and cabinet…
Turn off the power, and clean the screen and cabinet with a soft, dry cloth. The enclosed cleaning cloth is for
cabinet cleaning. We recommend that you do not use any proprietary polishes or solvents on the screen or
cabinet as this may cause damage.
Please use a wall bracket appropriate for the size and weight
of the LCD TV.
• Two people are required for installation.
• To install a wall-mount from another manufacturer, use the
SPACERS (supplied).
1 Unplug and remove any cables and/or other component
connectors from the rear of the TV.
2 Carefully lay the front of the unit face down on a flat,
cushioned surface such as a quilt or blanket.
3 Follow the instructions provided with your wall bracket.
Before proceeding, make sure the appropriate bracket(s)
are attached to the wall and the back of the TV as
described in the instructions provided with the wall
bracket.
4 Make sure to place the spacers supplied between the
bracket and the back of the TV.
5 Always use the screws supplied or recommended by the
wall mount manufacturer.
Removing the Pedestal Stand:
1 Carefully lay the front of the unit face down on a flat,
cushioned surface such as a quilt or blanket. Leave the
stand protruding over the edge of the surface.
NOTE: Extreme care should always be used when
removing the pedestal stand to avoid damage to the LCD
panel.

Cautions on watching 3D images
• Some viewers may experience a seizure or blackout
when exposed to certain flashing images or lights
contained in certain 3D television pictures or video
games.
Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other
symptoms linked to an epileptic condition, or has a family
history of epilepsy, should contact a health care provider
before using the 3D function.
• Avoid use of the 3D function when under the influence
of alcohol.
• If you are ill or feel ill, you should refrain from viewing
3D images, and consult your health care provider as
may be appropriate.
• If you experience any of the following symptoms when
viewing 3D video images, stop viewing and contact
your health care provider:
Convulsions, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness,
altered vision, involuntary movements, disorientation, eye
strain, nausea/vomiting, dizziness, headaches.
• If you feel eye fatigue or other discomfort from viewing
3D video images, remove the 3D glasses and
discontinue use until the condition is eliminated.
• Viewing in 3D may cause dizziness and/or
disorientation for some viewers.
Therefore, to avoid injury do not place your TV near open
stairwells, balconies, or wires.
Also do not sit near objects that could be broken if
accidentally hit.
• When viewing 3D images, always wear 3D glasses.
Watching 3D images without 3D glasses may cause eye
strain.
Use specified 3D glasses.
• When watching 3D images, do not wear 3D glasses at an
angle and do not lie down.
If you watch while lying down or with the glasses tilted, the
3D effect is lost and it may cause eye strain.
• It is recommended that the viewer's eyes and 3D glasses
are level with the screen.
• If you have prescription eye glasses or contact lenses,
wear the 3D glasses over them.
Watching 3D images without appropriate eyewear may
cause eye strain.
• If 3D image s often appear in double o r if you cannot see
the images in 3D, stop viewing.
Continuous viewing may cause eye strain.
• Due to the possible impact on vision development,
viewers of 3D video images should be age 6 or above.
Children and teenagers may be more susceptible to health
issues associated with viewing in 3D and should be closely
supervised to avoid prolonged viewing without rest.
• Watching TV while sitting too close to the screen for an
extended period of time may cause eye strain.
The ideal viewing distance should be at least three times
the screen height.
Notes on IR communication
• Do not block the IR sensor for 3D glasses on the TV by
placing objects in front of it.
• Do not cover the IR sensor on the 3D glasses with
stickers or labels.
• Keep the IR sensor on the 3D glasses clean.
• The use of 3D glasses could interfere with other IR
communication devices. Other IR communication
devices may cause the 3D glasses not to work correctly.
Use the TV and 3D glasses in a place where they will not
interfere with other devices or products.
Notes on watching the TV
• 3D effect and image quality may vary depending upon
content quality and display device capability/
functionality/settings.
• If you use any device, such as a mobile phone or mobile
wireless device, near the 3D glasses, the 3D glasses may
not work correctly.
• Use the product in the following temperature range;
otherwise, the quality of the 3D image or the reliability
of the product cannot be guaranteed.
- 3D glasses: 0°C - 40°C (32°F - 104°F)
- TV: 0°C - 35°C (32°F - 95°F)
• If you use a fluorescent light, it may flicker depending
on the frequency of the light. In this case, reduce the
brightness of the fluorescent light, or use another light.
(It is not recommended to watch the TV in a dark room,
especially for children.)
• Wear the 3D glasses properly, otherwise you may not
see the correct 3D image.
• When not viewing 3D images on this unit, take off the
3D glasses; otherwise, it may be difficult to see the
display on other products such as PC, digital clock or
calculator, etc.
About the connecting cable
• Use a high-speed and high-quality HDMI cable when
you connect a device such as 3D compatible BD player
or PC to the TV. When you use a standard HDMI cable,
3D images may not be shown.
When using the 3D glasses (not supplied)
If the 3D PIN number has been forgotten:
Use the Master PIN code of 1276, and then change to a
number of your choice. Select 3D PIN from the
PREFERENCES / 3D Setup menu to enter PIN.

INSTALLING YOUR TV
English
The digital reception function of this television is only effective in the countries listed in the “Country” section of
the “SETUP” menu. Depending on country/area, some of this television's functions may not be available.
Reception of future additional or modified services can not be guaranteed with this television.
If stationary images generated by 4:3 broadcasts, text services, channel identification logos, computer displays,
video games, on-screen menus, etc. are left on the television screen for any length of time, they could become
conspicuous. It is always advisable to reduce both the brightness and contrast settings.
Very long, continuous use of the 4:3 picture on a 16:9 screen may result in some retention of the image at the 4:3
outlines. This is not a defect of the LCD TV and is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. Regular use of
other size modes (e.g.: Super Live) will prevent permanent retention.

Using 3D functions
Before using 3D programming, see and follow
“When using the 3D glasses” section on page 6.
Viewing 3D programming requires the following:
• TOSHIBA 3D Glasses (not supplied)
• Compatible 3D playback device or 3D source
• 3D capable high quality HDMI cable
Incoming video signals can either be in 2D or 3D format. A 2D
signal can only be viewed as 2D, but 3D can be viewed in either
2D or 3D. If the TV can detect the fact that a signal is 3D, it can
change to 3D mode automatically – see “Setting the auto start
mode” (on page 24). Otherwise the user can change the viewing
mode using the 3D button. Finally, the format of the 3D signal
can be either Side by Side (SBS) or Top and Bottom (TB). You may
have to choose the correct format if the TV can not detect it
automatically – see “Switching display mode or selecting 3D
format”, below.
NOTE:
• When 3D format signal is not received, display mode is not
switched to 3D.
• The 3D button is available in digital channels or HDMI input.
• If appropriate mode and format are not selected, 3D image
is not correctly displayed.
• There will be restrictions on the Picture Size settings for 3D
Mode and 2D Mode.
• There are individual differences in perception of 3D images.
• When viewing 3D images, wear the 3D Glasses.
There are three modes for watching TV.
3D format select:
If a right and left images are same in Native mode, select SBS.
If a top and bottom images are same in Native mode, select
TB. 3D formats are the following.
* This format cannot be selected manually.
The 3D button’s operation:
The behaviour of 3D when viewing in Native m ode is different
depending on the input mode.
Depending on the input mode, the screen for selecting 2D or
3D is displayed or the display mode switches between 2D and
3D.
