Precautions
Notes on cleaning
Notes on handling
Clean only with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
■ Do not subject the LCD panel to physical shock, such as
dropping it. It may cause unit damage and malfunction.
■ Retain the original shipping carton and packing
materials. For maximum protection when shipping,
repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
■ Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide, near the
unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact
with the unit for prolonged periods of time. Doing so will
leave marks on the finish.
■ The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm
after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
■ When the unit is not in use, turn off the power.
■ If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit may
not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the
unit occasionally.
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.)
Notes on locating the unit
■ Place the unit on a level surface. Do not use it on a
shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbling table or
inclined stand. Doing so may damage the unit.
■ When you place this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may
be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the
TV, radio, or VCR.

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).
Note:
To prevent equipment damage,
do not plug in any power cords
until you have finished
connecting all equipment.

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.

encounter difficulty if you use an HDMI cable that is
shorter than 16.4ft (5m).
To connect a DVI device, you will need:
• one HDMI–to–DVI adapter cable
(HDMI type A connector)
HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate
analog audio cables are not required (see illustration
below).
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).
You must set the HDMI audio input setting to HDMI
in the AUDIO menu (see page 42).
• 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).
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).
You must set the HDMI audio input setting to DVI
in the AUDIO menu (see page 42).

Setting up your TV
Using the remote control
Preparing the remote control for use
Note:
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.)
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.
Installing the remote control batteries
Caution:
To install the batteries:
Never throw batteries into fire.
1. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote control.
Note:
• Always dispose of batteries in a designated
disposal location.
• Batteries should always be disposed of with
the environment in mind. Always dispose of
batteries in accordance with applicable
laws and regulations.
• Never mix battery types or use new and
used batteries in combination.
• When necessary to replace batteries in the
remote control, always replace both batteries
with new ones.
2. Install two “AA” size batteries. Match the + and – signs on the
batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.
• 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.
3.Close the battery cover on the remote control until the lock snaps.

• If the cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR or DVD player

• If the cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR or DVD player
does not respond, repeat steps 1–4 using another code.
5. Set the TV • CBL/SAT • VCR • DVD selector to “TV” to control the TV.
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.
For future reference, write down the codes you used:
