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 Americans, 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!

Connecting your TV

Note: Cables are not supplied with your TV.

Coaxial cable is the cable that comes in from your antenna, cable TV service, or cable converter box. Coaxial cable uses “F” connectors.

Standard stereo A/V cables usually come in sets of three, and are typically color-coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio. Your TV’s standard A/V inputs are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.

S-Video cable is for use with video equipment that has S-Video connectors.

Component video cables come in sets of three (typically color-coded green, blue, and red), and are for use with video equipment that has component video connectors. Your TV’s

ColorStream ® (component video) inputs are color-coded yellow, blue, and red. Plug the green component video cable into the yellow VIDEO-2 input (see “Back of TV” on page 6).

NOTE REGARDING PICTURE QUALITY

When connecting video equipment to your Toshiba TV:

For GOOD picture quality: Use a standard yellow video cable.

For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has S-video connectors, use an

S-video cable instead of a standard yellow video cable. You still must connect the standard red and white audio cables for full system connection, but do not connect a standard yellow video cable at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

For BEST picture quality: If your equipment has component video connectors, use component video cables instead of a standard yellow video cable or S-video cable. You still must connect the standard red and white audio cables for full system connection.

Coaxial (antenna) cable

Standard stereo A/V cables

(typically color-coded yellow for video, red and white for audio)

S-video cable

Component video cables

(typically color-coded red, green, blue)

CAUTION: Do not plug in any power cords until you have finished connecting all equipment.

Connecting a VCR

With this connection you can:

• watch local TV channels and videotapes

• record one channel while watching the same or another channel

You will need:

• two coaxial cables

• one set of standard A/V cables (If your VCR has

S-video, you can use an S-video cable instead of the standard video cable. See “Note Regarding Picture

Quality” above.)

Note:

If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.

The VIDEO-2 inputs on the back of the TV can be used for connecting a second piece of video equipment such as a DVD player. The VIDEO-3 inputs* on the front of the TV can be used for connecting a third piece of video equipment such as a camcorder. See “Note Regarding Picture Quality” above.

Using the remote control

Preparing the remote control for use

Your TV remote control can operate your TV and most cable converter boxes, satellite receivers, VCRs, DVD players, and HTIBs (home theater in a box), even if they are different brands.

If you have a Toshiba device:

Your TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate most Toshiba devices. See page 14.

If you have a non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba device that the remote control is not preprogrammed to operate:

You can program the TV remote control so it will operate the other device. See pages 12–14.

Installing the remote control batteries

1

Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote control.

Squeeze tab and lift cover.

Caution:

Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area. Do not throw batteries into a fire.

Do not mix battery types or combine used batteries with new ones.

Remove dead batteries immediately to prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment.

If you do not intend to use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.

2

Install two “AA” size batteries, making sure to match the + and – signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.

Note:

If your Toshiba TV remote control does not operate all the features of your other device, use the original remote control for that device.

3

Reinsert the battery cover in the remote control until the tab snaps.

–If the correct code was entered, the device will turn off.

–If the device does not respond, repeat steps 1–4 using another code.

–If the device does not respond to another code, you will need to use the remote control that came with the device.

Note: In addition to POWER, confirm that all necessary keys on the TV remote control operate your device. If some keys are not operational, repeat the device code setup using another code (if other codes are listed for your device). If, after trying all listed codes, the necessary keys do not operate your device, use the device’s original remote control.

5

Remember to set the Device Switch back to “TV” to control the TV.

6

For future reference, write down the code(s) you used:

DEVICE CODE DEVICE CODE

Note:

Each time you change the batteries, you will need to reprogram the remote control.

Some newer VCRs respond to either of two codes. These VCRs have a switch labeled “VCR1/

VCR2.” If your VCR has this kind of switch and does not respond to the codes for your VCR brand, set the switch to the other position (“VCR1” or “VCR2”) and reprogram the remote control.

Remote control codes

In some cases you may not be able to operate your device with the TV remote control. Your other device may use a code that is not recognized by the TV remote control. If this happens, you will need to use the remote control provided with the device.

Using the remote control to operate a cable converter box, satellite receiver, VCR, DVD player, or HTIB (home theater in a box)

If you have a non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba device that the remote control is not preprogrammed to operate, you must first program the remote control to recognize the device (if you have not already done so). See pages 12 and 13.

To use your TV remote control to operate a:

• cable converter box or satellite receiver, set the Device Switch to CBL/SAT.

• VCR, set the Device Switch to VCR.

• DVD player or HTIB, set the Device Switch to DVD.

Note:

• Even after the TV remote control is programmed, it may not operate certain features on your other device. If this happens and you wish to use those features, you will need to use the device’s original remote control.

• This illustration describes typical external device functions (not TV functions). The buttons on this remote control may or may not work as described for your specific device.

Point the remote control directly at the device.
