Child SafetyIt Makes A DifferenceWhere Your TV StandsCongratulations on your purchase! As you enjoyyour 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, theyare not always supported on the proper TV stands.

� Sometimes TVs are improperly secured or inappropriatelysituated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audiospeakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may fall over,causing unnecessary injury.

Toshiba Cares!� The consumer electronics industry

is committed to making homeentertainment enjoyable and safe.� The Consumer ElectronicsAssociation formed the HomeEntertainment Support SafetyCommittee, comprised of TV andconsumer electronics furnituremanufacturers, to advocatechildren’s safety and educate

consumers and their families abouttelevision safety.

Tune Into Safety� One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate

furniture large enough to support the weight of yourTV (and other electronic components).

� Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secureyour furniture to the wall (but never screw anything directlyinto the TV).

� Carefully read and understand the other enclosedinstructions for proper use of this product.

� Do not allow children to climb on or play with furnitureand 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 watchinga program and can potentially push or pull a TV over.

� Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of thehome with your family and friends. Thank you!

Connecting your TVNote: Cables are not supplied with your TV.

● Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your antenna, cable TVservice, and/or cable converter box to the ANT RF input on your TV.

● Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in sets of three,and are for use with video devices with standard audio and standard(composite) video output. These cables (and the related inputs on yourTV) are typically color-coded according to use: yellow for video, redfor stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio.

● S-video cable is for use with video devices with S-video output. Separateaudio cables are required for a complete connection.

Note: An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a

standard (composite) video cable.

● Component video cables come in sets of three and are for use withvideo devices with component video output. These cables are typicallycolor-coded red, green, and blue. (ColorStream® is Toshiba’s brand ofcomponent video.) Separate audio cables are required for a completeconnection.

Note: Component video cables provide better picture performance than a

standard (composite) video or S-video cable.

● HDMI cable is for use with devices with uncompressed HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) video/compressed audio output.HDMI cable delivers digital audio and video in its native format (seepage 15). This cable carries both video and audio information;therefore, no separate audio cables are needed for a complete connec-tion.

Note: HDMI cable provides better picture performance than a standard

(composite) video or S-video cable.

[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.

Connecting an HDMI™ or a DVI device to the HDMI input

HDMI, the HDMI logo, and High-Definition Multimedia Interface aretrademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing, LLC.

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).

DVI device

To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is resetproperly, it is recommended that you followthese procedures:

• When turning on your electronic components,turn on the TV first, and then the HDMI orDVI device.

• When turning off your electronic components,turn off the HDMI or DVI device first, andthen the TV.

The HDMI[1] input on your TV receives digital audioand uncompressed digital video from an HDMIdevice or uncompressed digital video from a DVI[2]

device.

This input is designed to accept HDCP[3] programmaterial 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 performancewith 1080i high-definition video signals, but will alsoaccept and display 480i, 480p, and 720p signals.

To connect an HDMI device, you will need:• one HDMI cable (type A connector)

For proper operation, it is recommended that you

use a short HDMI cable.

HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate

analog audio cables are not required (see illustration

below). Some CDVs (Video CDs) may not output

digital audio signals. In that case, you may hear

sound by connecting analog audio cables. However, if

you connect analog audio cables with this connection,

the HDMI terminal on the TV will not receive the

HDMI digital audio signal and you will hear analog

audio only.

Note:• Be sure to use AA size batteries.

• Dispose of batteries in a designated

disposal area.

• Batteries should always be disposed of with

the environment in mind. Always dispose of

batteries in accordance with applicable laws

and regulations.

• If the remote control does not operate

correctly, or if the operating range becomes

reduced, replace batteries with new ones.

• When necessary to replace batteries in the

remote control, always replace both

batteries with new ones. Never mix battery

types or use new and used batteries in

combination.

• Always remove batteries from remote

control if they are dead or if the remote

control is not to be used for an extended

period of time. This will prevent battery acid

from leaking into the battery compartment.

Squeeze tab andlift cover.

Caution:• Never throw batteries into a fire.

Using the remote control

Preparing the remote control for useYour TV remote control can operate your TV and many cableconverter 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 Toshibadevices. See page 20.

If you have a non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba devicethat the remote control is not preprogrammed tooperate:You can program the TV remote control so it will operate the otherdevice. See pages 17–19.

Installing the remote control batteries1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote control.

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 tabsnaps.

Programming the remote control to operate acable converter box, satellite receiver, VCR,DVD player, or HTIB (home theater in a box)Your Toshiba TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate mostToshiba devices. To program your TV remote control to operate anon-Toshiba device (or a Toshiba device that it is not preprogrammedto operate), follow the steps below. For details on using the remotecontrol to operate the device, see pages 19–20.

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, tryeach one separately until you find one that works.

2. Set the Device Switch to the type of device you are programmingthe remote control to operate — CBL/SAT (for a cable converterbox 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 Numberbuttons to enter the 3-digit code for your device.

4. To test the code, turn on the device, point the remote control atit, and press POWER. See note at right.

• 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.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:

Remote control codesIn some cases you may not be able to operate your device with the TVremote control. Your other device may use a code that is notrecognized by the TV remote control. If this happens, use the device’sremote control.

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.

• Every 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.
