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 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.

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!

20) Never place items such as vases, aquariums, or candles on top of the TV.

11)

13)

Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.

When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

21) Never block or cover the slots or openings in the TV cabinet back, bottom, and sides. Never place the TV:

30) [ 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.

31) 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.

32) 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.

33) 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:

• 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

For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA

TV, follow these recommendations and precautions:

27) 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.

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

29) WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind into the TV cabinet slots.

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 red, green, and blue), and are for use with video equipment that has component video connectors. Your TV’s ColorStream ® (component video) inputs are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.

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

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 pages 14 and 17.

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 15–16.

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.

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

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

Your Toshiba TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate most Toshiba devices. To program your TV remote control to operate a non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba device that it is not preprogrammed to operate, follow the steps below. For details on using the remote control to operate the device, see page 17.

1 In the remote control code table (below and on the next page), find the code for your device. If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you find one that works.

2 Set the Device Switch to the type of device you are programming the remote control to operate—CBL/SAT (for a cable converter box or satellite receiver), VCR (for a VCR or TV/VCR combo), or DVD

(for a DVD player or HTIB [home theater in a box]).

3 While holding down RECALL, press the Channel Number buttons to enter the 3-digit code for your device.

4 To test the code, turn on the device, point the remote control at it, and press POWER.

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

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

Note: After programming the TV remote control to operate your other device, confirm that all necessary keys are operational. If some keys on the TV remote control do not operate certain features on your other device, reprogram the remote control using another code (if other codes are listed for your device).

If, after trying all listed codes, the necessary buttons 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 must 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.

When you press MUTE, the CLOSED CAPTION feature is automatically activated. To deactivate this feature, press MUTE again.

This feature works only when the Closed Caption mode is set to OFF.

See “Using the closed caption feature” on page 28 for details.

Using the MTS feature to select stereo/SAP broadcasts

The MTS (multi-channel TV sound) feature provides high-fidelity stereo sound. The MTS feature also can transmit a second audio program (SAP) containing a second language, music, or other audio information (when provided by individual stations).

When the TV receives a stereo or SAP broadcast, the word

“STEREO” or “SAP” appears on-screen every time the TV is turned on, the channel is changed, or RECALL is pressed.

Note: The MTS feature is not available when the TV is in VIDEO mode.

To listen to stereo sound:

You can leave your TV in STR mode because it automatically outputs the type of sound being broadcast (stereo or monaural).

If the stereo sound is noisy, select MONO to reduce the noise.

The word “STR” or “SAP” displays in yellow in the menu when the TV receives the signal.

To listen to SAP (if available):



3. Press x or • to highlight SAP. You will hear the station’s second audio program (if available) from the speakers while viewing the original program’s picture. See note at right.

Note:

• A second audio program (SAP) can be heard only on those TV stations that offer it.

For example, a TV station might broadcast music (or another language) as a second audio program. If you have SAP on, you will see the current program on the screen but hear music (or the other language) instead of the program’s normal audio.

• If you have SAP on and the station you are watching is not broadcasting a second audio program, the station’s normal audio will be output; however, occasionally there is no sound at all in this instance. If this happens, set the MTS feature to

STR mode.

Using the SURROUND sound feature

The SURROUND sound feature expands the audio listening field wider and deeper to create exceptional sound quality from the TV’s speakers. This feature uses stereo signals from a TV broadcast or video input.

Troubleshooting

Before calling a service technician, please check the following table for a possible cause of the problem and some solutions.

Problem

TV will not turn on

Picture problems

Solution

• Make sure the power cord is plugged in, and then press POWER.

• If the TV is plugged into a surge suppressor or multiple outlet extension, make sure the supressor/extension is plugged in and turned on.

• The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the batteries (p. 13).

• Check all connections (pgs. 7–12).

• If using an antenna, the reception may be poor. Use a highly directional outdoor antenna.

• The current station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another channel.

• Press the TV/VIDEO button (on the remote control or TV front panel) to make sure the correct signal source is selected (p. 21). If no device is connected to the inputs on the TV (pgs. 7–12), no picture will display when you select that particular signal source.

• If you have a VCR connected, press the TV/VCR button on the remote control to make sure it is set correctly (p. 17). Also, try turning off the VCR. Also, check VCR connections (pgs. 7–11).

• Make sure the remote control device switch is set to the correct position for the signal source you are trying to view (p. 14).

• Make sure the TV/CABLE setting (in the SET UP menu) corresponds with your signal source

(TV antenna or cable) (p. 21).

• Adjust the PICTURE menu settings (pgs. 25–27).

• If you have two VCRs connected to your TV, do not connect the same VCR to the TV’s output and input connections at the same time (p. 11).

• If you have both a DVD player (or satellite receiver) and a VCR connected, make sure both are not connected to the same A/V IN terminals on the TV (p. 9).

• Do not connect a standard video cable and an S-video cable to VIDEO-1 on the TV back

(or VIDEO-3 on the TV front) at the same time (pgs. 7–12).

• The SVM feature can sometimes make the picture look artificial. If SVM is on, and you want the video material you are watching to look more natural, try turning off the SVM feature (p. 26).

Cannot view external device • If you cannot view signals from an external device connected to VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, signals or channel 3 or 4 VIDEO 3, and/or ColorStream, or from channels 3 or 4, set VIDEO LOCK to OFF (p. 34).

• The game timer may have enabled the video lock. Set VIDEO LOCK to OFF (p. 34).

• Make sure the remote control device switch is set to the correct position (p. 14).

Black box on screen

Poor color or no color

This TV displays

480i signals only

Sound problems

• Set the CLOSED CAPTION feature to OFF (p. 28).

• The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another channel.

• Adjust the TINT and/or COLOR in the PICTURE menu (p. 25).

• If you change the direction of the TV while the TV is on, the picture may suffer from color shading. If so, turn off the TV and allow it to cool for about 30 minutes, and then turn on the TV again. The picture should improve.

• When the ColorStream signal source is active, the VIDEO OUT terminal outputs a black-andwhite signal only. To receive a color VIDEO OUT signal, a standard video or S-video IN jack must be used instead of the ColorStream connections (p. 21).

• This TV will not accept or display 480p or 720p progressive scan signals or 1080i interlaced high-definition signals. If you connect a high-definition set-top receiver, 480p progressive scan

DVD player, or other similar device to the TV’s ColorStream inputs, you must switch the device’s output to 480i interlaced mode first (p. 10).

• Check the antenna/cable connections (pgs. 7–12).

• The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another channel.

• The sound may be muted. Press VOLUME.

• If you hear no sound, try setting the MTS feature to STR mode (p. 36).

• If you hear audio that seems “incorrect” for the program you are watching (such as music or a foreign language), the SAP mode may be on. Set the MTS feature to STR mode (p. 36).

• Make sure the SPEAKERS function in the AUDIO menu is set correctly (p. 39).

• If you are not receiving a second audio program from a known SAP source, make sure the MTS feature is set to SAP mode (p. 36).

• When using an external audio amplifier, if you set AUDIO OUT to VARIABLE, the volume of both the TV and amplifier must be set above 0 (zero) or you will not hear any sound (p. 12, 39).

• When recording to a second VCR, set AUDIO OUT to FIXED (pgs. 11 and 39).

Troubleshooting

Problem

Remote control problems

Channel tuning problems

Closed caption problems

Black box on screen

V-Chip (blocking) problems

Cannot see emergency broadcasts

Solution


• Remove all obstructions between the remote control and the TV.

• The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the batteries (p. 13).

• Your TV remote control may not operate certain features on your external device. Refer to the owner’s manuals for your other devices to determine their available features. If your TV remote control does not operate a specific feature on another device, use the remote control that came with the device (p. 13).


• Make sure the TV/CABLE setting corresponds with the signal source (TV antenna or cable)

(p. 21).

• The channel may have been erased from the channel memory by the ADD/ERASE feature. Add the channel to the channel memory (p. 20).

• The channel may be blocked by the BLOCK CHANNEL feature. Unblock the channel (p. 33).

• If you select one of the caption modes (C1, C2, C3, or C4) but the program you are watching is not closed-captioned, no captions will display on-screen (p. 28).

• A closed caption signal may not display correctly in the following situations: a) when a videotape has been dubbed; b) when the signal reception is weak; or c) when the signal reception is nonstandard. If closed captions display incorrectly, set the closed caption feature to OFF (p. 28).

• If you select one of the text modes (T1, T2, T3, or T4) but text is not available, a black rectangle may appear on-screen. If this happens, set the closed caption feature to OFF (p. 28).

• If you forget your PIN code: While the PIN code entering screen is displayed, press RECALL four times within 5 seconds. The PIN code you stored will be reset (p. 29).

• The V-Chip feature is only available for the U.S. V-Chip system. The Canadian V-Chip system

(“Puce-V”) is not supported (p. 30).

• Setting the BLOCK TV NONE RATING to “Y” (blocked) may block reception of emergency broadcasts. The BLOCK TV NONE RATING menu will display the note “Enabling this option may block emergency messages” to warn you of this possibility (p. 32).
