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!

• 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.
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 A/V (audio/video) 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. On your TV’s back panel, the 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 an S-Video input.
Component video cables come in sets of three, and are for use with video equipment that has component video inputs. (ColorStream ® is Toshiba’s brand of component video.)
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 an S-video input, 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 the 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 inputs, use component video cables instead of a standard video or S-video cable. (You still must connect the standard red and white audio cables for full system connection, but do not connect the standard yellow video cable or an S-Video cable at the same time .)
Coaxial (antenna) cable
Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)

Component video cables
CAUTION: Do not plug in any power cords until you have finished connecting all equipment.
Connecting a VCR
With this connection you can:
• watch 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
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 (and the VIDEO-3 inputs on the front of the TV) can be used for connecting a second (and third) piece of video equipment, such as a DVD player or camcorder (see “Note Regarding Picture Quality” above).
For better quality, if your VCR has S-video, you can use an S-video cable (plus the standard audio cables) instead of the standard video cable. Do not connect a standard video cable and an
S-video cable to VIDEO-1 at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

Using the remote control
Preparing the remote control for use
Your TV remote control can operate your TV and most VCRs and cable TV converters, even if they are different brands.
If you have a Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter:
Your TV remote control is already programmed to operate it. See page 12.
If you have a non-Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter:
You must first program your remote control so it will operate the other equipment. See pages 12–14.
Installing the remote control batteries
1
Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote control.
Press and slide to remove.
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 of the features of your VCR or cable
TV converter, use the original remote control for your other equipment.
3
Slide the battery cover back onto the remote control until the lock snaps.

In the code table on page 14, find the code for your brand of VCR or cable TV converter.
If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you find one that works.
2 Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to VCR (for a VCR), or CABLE (for a cable TV converter).
3
While holding down RECALL , press the Channel Number buttons to enter the 3-digit code for your brand of VCR or converter.
4
To test the code, turn the VCR or converter on, point the remote control at it, and press POWER .
– If the correct code was entered , the VCR or converter will turn off.
– If the VCR or converter does not respond , repeat steps 1–4 using another code.
– If the VCR or converter does not respond to a different code , you will need to use the remote control that came with your VCR or converter.
5
Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to TV to control the TV.
For future reference, write down the code(s) you used:
VCR Code:
Cable TV Converter Code:
CT-90037
Note:
You must reprogram the remote control every time the batteries are changed.
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.

Device codes
In some rare cases, you may not be able to operate your other device with your 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 that came with your other device.

Blocking programs by ratings
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) uses a rating system to qualify motion picture content.
Television broadcasters employ a similar rating system to qualify the content of television programs. The
MPAA, Youth TV, and TV ratings work with the
V-Chip feature to allow you to block access to programs that exceed the rating limits you set.
Note:
Press RECALL to see the rating of the program you are viewing.
Not all programs are rated, however. To block programs or movies that are not rated, see
“Blocking unrated movies and programs” on page 23.
