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.
We Care!
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 childrens 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!

Introduction
Notes on cleaning
Clean only with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
Notes on LCD
The color LCD is manufactured using extremely high
precision technology, but even so may include certain
pixels that do not operate properly (that do not light, that
remain lit constantly, etc.). We do our best to keep the
number of these defective pixels to a minimum, but
please understand that they cannot be completely
eliminated even with the most advanced manufacturing
technologies available today.
The fluorescent tube which illuminates the panel from
the inside will deteriorate with use. When the LCD
becomes dim, flickers, or does not illuminate, contact
your dealer for replacement.
The brightness of the LCD monitor differs slightly
depending on the viewing angles. Adjust the angle to
obtain the best viewing. (The recommended angle is 90
degrees to the monitor.)

Appendix
Connecting your TV
Note:
To prevent equipment damage,
do not plug in any power cords
until you have finished
connecting all equipment.
You will need:
two coaxial cables
one set of standard A/V cables
Note:
If using a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to VCR
Audio OUT using only one audio cable. For
better picture quality, if your VCR has S-video,
you can use an S-video cable instead of the
standard video cable. Do not connect a
standard video cable and an S-video cable to
VIDEO-1 simultaneously.
Connecting a VCR
This connection allows you to watch local channels and video programs,
play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and record from one
channel while watching another channel.
Selecting a location for the TV
Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location where
light does not directly hit the screen.
Place the TV far enough from the walls to allow proper ventilation.
Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which may damage
the TV.
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.)
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 accord-
ing 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 than standard
video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video
compatible components.
Component video cables provide better picture performance than
S-video cables. Component video cables can only be used with
component video compatible components.
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use with
video equipment that has HDMI output (see page 15).

Connecting a cable converter box or Antenna
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.
Option 1: For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service
For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box,
connect the incoming 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna
Jack on the back of the television.
Option 2: 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.
Option 3: 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 (some-
times 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.

Connecting an HDMI or a DVI device to the HDMI input
To connect an HDMI device, you will need:
one HDMI cable (type A connector)
For proper operation, it is recommended that you use
as short an HDMI cable as possible. You should not
encounter difficulty if you use an HDMI cable that is
shorter than 16.4ft (5m).
HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate
analog audio cables are not required (see illustration
below).
You must set the HDMI audio input setting to HDMI
in the AUDIO menu (see page 42).
Some CDVs (Video CDs) may not output digital audio
signals. In that case, you may hear sound by connecting
analog audio cables. If you do use analog audio cables for
this reason, you will need to set the HDMI audio input
setting to “DVI” to hear the analog audio (see page 42).
Note: If you connect an HDMI device and analog audio
cables (as described in the previous paragraph), and
then you play media with digital audio output, to hear
digital audio you must set the HDMI audio input setting
to “HDMI” (page 42).
[1]
HDMI = High-Definition Multimedia Interface.
[2]
DVI = Digital Video Interface.
[3]
HDCP = High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection.
[4]
EIA/CEA-861/861B compliance covers the
transmission of uncompressed digital video with high-
bandwidth digital content protection, which is being
standardized for reception of high-definition video
signals.
Because this is an evolving technology, it is possible
that some devices may not operate properly with the
TV.
To connect a DVI device, you will need:
one HDMI–to–DVI adapter cable
(HDMI type A connector)
For proper operation, the length of an HDMI-to-DVI
adapter cable should not exceed 9.8 ft (3m). The
recommended length is 6.6 ft (2m).
one pair of standard analog audio cables
An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers only video.
Separate analog audio cables are required (see
illustration below).
You must set the HDMI audio input setting to DVI
in the AUDIO menu (see page 42).
The HDMI
[1]
input on your TV receives digital audio and
uncompressed digital video from an HDMI device or
uncompressed digital video from a DVI
[2]
device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP
[3]
program material
in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861B– compliant
[4]
consumer electronic devices (such as a set-top box or
DVD player with HDMI or DVI output).
The HDMI input is designed for best performance with
hight definition video signals. It will accept and display
480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i signals.
Note: The HDMI jack is not intended for connection to
and should not be used with a personal
computer. For PC connection see page 16.
HDMI, the HDMI logo, and High-Definition Multimedia
Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI
Licensing, LLC.
To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset prop-
erly, it is recommended that you follow these proce-
dures:
When turning on your electronic components, turn on
the TV first, and then the HDMI or DVI device.
When turning off your electronic components, turn off
the HDMI or DVI device first,and then the TV.

Using the remote control
Preparing the remote control for use
With the remote control, you can operate your TV, most cable TV
converters/satellite receivers, VCR and DVD player models together,
even if they are different brands. If you will be using your TV with a
Toshiba satellite receiver, VCR or DVD player, your remote control is
already programmed and ready to use. If you own different brands of
cable TV converters/satellite receivers, VCRs and/or DVD players, you
first have to program your remote control. (See “Programming the
remote control for use with a cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR
or DVD player” on page 18.)
Installing the remote control batteries
To install the batteries:
1. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote control.
2. Install two “AA” size batteries. Match the + and – signs on the
batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.
3.Close the battery cover on the remote control until the lock snaps.
To control a VCR:
Program the remote
control to recognize
the brand of your VCR
(see “Programming the
remote control for use
with a cable TV
converter/satellite
receiver, VCR or DVD
player” on page 18.)
The buttons shown at
right will then control
the VCR.
Set the TV CBL/
SAT VCR/DVD
selector to “VCR” first.
Note:
The TV remote control may or may not
operate your cable TV converter/satellite
receiver, VCR or DVD player. Refer to your
owner’s manuals supplied with the equipment
to see which features are available. In
addition, the original controllers may have
features not available on this remote control. If
you would like to continue to use these
features, you may want to use the original
remote control.

satellite receivers, VCRs and DVD players other than Toshiba models,
you must follow the steps below to program your remote control.
1. Refer to the code tables (on pages 19 and 20) to find the
corresponding code for your brand.
If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you
find the one that works.
2. If you are programming the remote control to operate your:
Cable TV converter/satellite receiver: Set theTV CBL/
SAT VCR DVD selector to CBL/SAT.
VCR: Set the TV CBL/SAT VCR DVD selector to VCR.
DVD player: Set the TV CBL/SAT VCR DVD selector to DVD.
3. While holding down RECALL, press the Channel Number buttons
to enter the three-digit code for your cable TV converter/satellite
receiver, VCR or DVD player brand.
4. Point the remote control at the cable TV converter/satellite
receiver, VCR or DVD player, and press POWER to test the code.
If the cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR or DVD player
responds, you entered the correct code.
If the cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR or DVD player
does not respond, repeat steps 14 using another code.
5. Set the TV CBL/SAT VCR DVD selector to TV to control the TV.
For future reference, write down the codes you used:
Cable TV converter/satellite receiver code _____________________
VCR code ______________________________________________
DVD player code _________________________________________
Note:
When shipped from the factory, the remote
control is set to operate your TV.
If you do not enter the code within 10
seconds from step 1 or if you enter a code
not listed below, this operation is canceled.
Each time you replace the batteries, you
must reprogram the remote control.
Some newer VCRs are capable of working
on either of two remote codes. These VCRs
have a switch labeled VCR1/VCR2.
If your VCR has this kind of switch and does
not respond to any of the codes for your
VCR, set the switch to the other position
(VCR1 or VCR2) and reprogram the remote
control.
