Safety Precautions

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE

OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS

APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

The Issue

• The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend

and larger flat panel displays are popular purchases. However,

flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands

or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

• Flat panel displays that are

WARNING

SHOCK DO NOT OPEN.

inappropriately situated on dressers,

bookcases, shelves, desks,

speakers, chests or carts may fall

over and cause injury.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC

SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE

PERSONNEL.

TOSHIBA Cares!

• The consumer electronics industry

is committed to making home

entertainment enjoyable and safe.

Tune Into Safety

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an

equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the

presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the

product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude

to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

•

One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations

for the safe installation and use of your flat panel display.

• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for

proper use of this product.

• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and

television sets.

• Don’t place flat panel displays on

furniture that can easily be used as

steps, such as a chest of drawers.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is

intended to alert the user to the presence of important

operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in

the literature accompanying the appliance.

• Remember that children can

become excited while watching a

program, especially on a “larger

than life” flat panel display. Care

should be taken to place or install

the display where it cannot be

pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

• Care should be taken to route all cords and

cables connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be

pulled or grabbed by curious children.

WARNING

To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely

attached to the floor/wall in accordance with the

installation instructions. See item 25 on page 4.

WARNING: If you decide to wall mount this

television, always use a UL Listed wall bracket

appropriate for the size and weight of this television.

The use of any wall bracket other than a UL Listed

wall bracket appropriate for the size and weight of this

television for wall mounting this television could result

in serious bodily injury and/or property damage. See

“Removing the Pedestal Stand” ( page 6).

Wall Mounting: If you decide to wall mount your

flat panel display, always:

• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display

manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such

as UL, CSA, ETL).

• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount

manufacturers.

• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your

flat panel display, contact your retailer about professional

installation.

• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is

appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted

to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you

are unsure, contact a professional

installer.

• A minimum of two people are

required for installation. Flat panel

displays can be heavy.

NOTE TO CATV INSTALLERS

This is a reminder to call the CATV system installer’s

attention to Article 820-40 of the U.S. NEC, which

provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in

particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be

connected to the grounding system of the building,

as close to the point of cable entry as practical. For

additional antenna grounding information, see items

32 and 33 on page 4.

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Optical audio cable

Overview of cable types

Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell audio/

video devices. Before purchasing any cables, be sure of

connector types required by your devices and the length

of each cable.

Optical audio cable is for connecting receivers with

Dolby Digital or PCM (pulse-code modulation) optical

audio input to the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal

( page 18).

Coaxial (F-type) cable

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable

Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your

antenna, cable TV service, and/or cable converter box

to the ANT/CABLE input on your TV.

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable is for connecting

a PC to the TV’s PC IN terminal ( page 18).

Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)

Note: Separate audio cables are required for a

complete connection.

3.5mm Stereo to RCA Y-cable

Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come

in sets of three, and are for use with video devices with

analog audio and composite video output. These cables

(and the related inputs on your TV) are typically color-

coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo

right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio.

3.5mm Stereo to RCA Y-Cable is for connecting audio

signal from DVI device to TV.

About the connection illustrations

Component video cables (red/green/blue)

You can connect different types and brands of devices to

your TV in several different configurations. The connection

illustrations in this manual are representative of typical

device connections only. The input/output terminals on

your devices may differ from those illustrated herein. For

details on connecting and using your specific devices, refer

to each device’s owner’s manual.

Component video cables come in sets of three and are

for use with video devices with component video output.

(ColorStream^®is Toshiba’s brand of component video.)

These cables are typically color-coded red, green, and

blue. Separate audio cables are required for a complete

connection.

Note: Component video cables provide better

picture performance than a standard (composite)

video.

HDMI^®cable

(with HDMI Logo “

”)

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable

is for use with devices with an HDMI output. An

HDMI cable delivers digital audio and video in its

native format. This cable carries both video and audio

information; therefore, separate audio cables are not

required for a complete HDMI device connection (

page 16 and page 19).

Note: An HDMI cable provides the best audio and

picture performance.
