Dear Customer,

Child Safety

Thank you for purchasing this Toshiba TV. This manual
will help you use the many exciting features of your new
TV. Before operating the TV, please read this manual
completely, and keep it nearby for future reference.

It Makes A Difference
Where Your TV Stands

Safety Precautions

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

WARNING

The Issue

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.

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.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER
SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Toshiba Cares!

The lightning symbol in the triangle tells you that the
voltage inside this product may be strong enough to
cause an electric shock. DO NOT TRY TO SERVICE
THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF.

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.

The exclamation mark in the triangle tells you that
important operating and maintenance instructions
follow this symbol.

NOTE TO CATV INSTALLERS IN THE USA
This is a reminder to call the CATV system installer’s
attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC, which provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,
specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the point of
cable entry as practical. For additional antenna
grounding information, see items 24 and 25 on page 4.

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!

Important
Safeguards

29) [This item applies to projection TVs only.] If the air
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.

23) Always operate this equipment from
a 120 VAC, 60 Hz power source only.

24) Always make sure the antenna system is properly grounded

Electric Code).

30) 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.
31) 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.

25)

32) Possible Adverse Effects on TV Picture Tube: If a fixed
(non-moving) pattern remains on the TV screen for long
periods of time, the image can become permanently
engrained in the picture tube and cause subtle but
permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT
COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your TV on
for long periods of time while it is displaying the following
formats or images:

DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH!
• Use extreme care to make sure you are 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.

• Fixed Images, such as PIP/POP windows, stock tickers,
video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.
• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For
example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a normal
(4:3) display (gray bars at top and bottom of screen); or
viewing normal style (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9)
display (gray bars on left and right sides of screen).

Care

Service

For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA
TV, follow these recommendations and precautions:

33)

26) 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 TV off to check
for reflections on the screen, and then remove the source of
reflections while viewing the TV.

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Never attempt to service the
TV yourself. Opening and
removing the covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to a
Toshiba Authorized Service Center.

QUALIFIED
SERVICE
TECHNICIAN

34) If you have the TV serviced:
• Ask the service technician to use only replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer.
• Upon completion of service, ask
the service technician to perform
routine safety checks to determine
that the TV is in safe operating
condition.

27) Always unplug the TV before
cleaning. Never use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.

28)

35) When the TV reaches the end of its useful life, ask a

Connecting your TV
If you haven’t connected electronic equipment before, or you have
been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section. (Cables
are not supplied.)

Welcome to
Toshiba

• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.
• Standard A/V (audio/video) cables are usually color coded
according to use: yellow for video and red and white for audio. The
red audio cable is for the stereo right channel, and the white audio
cable is for the stereo left (or mono) channel. If you look at the rear
panel of the TV, you will see that the terminals are color coded in
the same manner as the cables.
• S-video cables provide better picture performance. S-video cables
can only be used with S-video compatible components.
• Component video cables come in sets of three and provide the best
picture performance. Component video cables can only be used
with component video compatible components.

Caution:
Do not plug the TV in until you have finished
connecting all of your equipment.

Connecting a cable converter box
This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable
channels without using a cable company supplied converter box. Some
cable companies offer "premium pay channels" in which the signal is
scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the
use of a descrambler device, which is generally provided by the cable
company.

For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service
For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box,
connect the CATV 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna Jack
on the back of the television.

Connecting
your TV

For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service
If you subscribe to a cable service that requires the use of a Converter/
Descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the Converter/
Descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the Antenna
Jack on the back of the television. Follow the connections shown
below. Set the television to the output of the Converter/Descrambler
box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to
select channels.

For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with
Scrambled Premium Channels
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are
unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/
Descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set coupler") and an A/B Switch box from the cable
installer 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. With the switch in the "A" position,
tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually
channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.

Note:
When you use a converter box with your TV,
there may be features that you cannot
program using the remote control, such as
labeling channels, blocking channels, and
programming your favorite channels.
