Introduction
Welcome to Toshiba
• Thank you for purchasing this Toshiba LCD
Colour Television. This manual will help you use
the exciting features of your new TV.
• Instructions in this manual are based on using

• You also can use the controls on the TV if they
have the same name as those referred to on
the remote control.
• Please read all safety and operating
instructions in this manual carefully, and keep
this manual for future reference.
Important Safety Instructions
Be sure to observe the following instructions and
precautions to ensure safe use of this TV.
Installation
1) Always connect the power plug to an
appropriate electrical outlet equipped with
E model: 220-240V, AC 50/60Hz, T model:
110-240V, AC 50/60Hz and Y model: 220-
240V, AC 50Hz.
Never use the TV outside the specified voltage
range. It may cause a fire or an electric shock.
Check!
Ex. 220-240V AC, 50/60Hz
WARNING ABOUT THREE-WIRE
GROUNDING-TYPE PLUG: (Only for E
models)
• This product shall be connected to a main
socket outlet with a protective earthing
connection.
• Never remove the earthing pin on the power
plug. This system is equipped with a three
pin earthing-type power plug. This plug will
only fit an earthing-type power outlet. This is
a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician
to replace the wall outlet.
• Never defeat the purpose of the earthing
plug.
About the fuse
In a three pin earthing-type, the fuse fitted
in this plug is approved by ASTA or BSI to
BS1362. It should only be replaced by a
correctly rated and approved type and the
fuse cover must be refitted.
2) Never insert or remove the power plug with
wet hands.
This may cause an electric shock.
3) Never place the TV in an unstabilized
location such as on a shaky table, incline
or location subject to vibration.
• Only use cabinets or stands recommended
by the TV manufacturer.
• Only use furniture that can safely support
the TV.
• Ensure that the TV is not hanging over the
edge of the supporting furniture.
• Never place the TV on tall furniture (for
example, cupboards or bookcases) without
anchoring both the furniture and the
television to a suitable support.
The TV may drop or fall off which may cause
an injury or damage.

4) Never block or cover the slots and
openings in the cabinet.
• Never place the TV so that it is facing
upward or on its side.
• Never place the TV in a closet, bookcase or
other similar area where the ventilation is
poor.
• Never drape a newspaper, tablecloth or
curtain on the TV.
• Never stand the TV on cloth or other
material placed between the TV and
supporting furniture.
• When installing the TV against a wall,
always keep the TV at least 10 cm away
from the wall.
• Never place the TV on a soft unstable
surface, such as a carpet, or a cushion.
The inside of this TV will overheat if the
ventilation holes are covered, blocked or
sealed, which may result in a fire.
5) Never place the TV near a heater or in
direct sunlight.
The surface of the cabinet or power cord may
melt and result in a fire or an electric shock.
6) Never place the TV in an area exposed
to high humidity levels, such as in a
bathroom or close to a humidifier.
This may cause a fire or an electric shock.
Introduction
7) Never place the TV next to a stove where it
will be exposed to oil, smoke, or steam, or
in a location where there is a large quantity
of dust.
This may cause a fire or an electric shock.
8) Install the TV in a horizontal, stable
location. Connect between two clips on the
back of the TV and a wall, pillar, etc., with a
sturdy tie and clip of supplied accessories
(-page 35).
• Use as short a tie as possible to ensure the
TV is stable.
• If the TV is not installed securely, it may lean
or fall over and cause an injury.
• To prevent injury, use the exclusive optional
stand or wall-hanging bracket to install
this TV on the floor or wall securely in
accordance with a qualified technician.

9) Precautions for moving the TV
• When moving the TV, be sure to remove the
plug from the wall outlet and disconnect the
aerial cable and audio/video cables, any
steady ties. A fire or an electric shock may
result if the power cord is damaged.

10) Precautions for installing on outdoor aerial
An outside aerial system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines,
or other electric light or power circuits.
If the aerial falls down or drops, it may cause
an injury or an electric shock.
Use
1) Never place hot objects or open flame
sources, such as lighted candles or
nightlights, on or close to the TV.
High temperatures can melt plastic and lead
to fires.
2) The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing and that no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on the apparatus.
When liquids are spilled or small items are
dropped inside the TV, this may cause a fire or
an electric shock.
If small objects drop inside the TV, turn off the
TV and remove the power plug from the outlet
immediately and contact a service technician.
3) Never insert objects (metal or paper)
or pour water inside the TV through
ventilation holes and other openings.
These items may cause a fire or an electric
shock. If these objects are inserted inside the
TV, turn off the TV and remove the power plug
from the outlet immediately and contact a
service technician. Be especially careful that
children do not insert objects in the TV.
Clip
4) Never stand or climb on the TV.
• Educate children about the dangers of
climbing on furniture to reach the TV or its
controls.
Be especially careful in households with
children to prevent them through climbing on
top of the TV. It may move, fall over, break,
become damaged or cause an injury.
5) When the TV will not be used for a long
period of time, such as during vacation or
travel, remove the power plug from the wall
outlet for safety.
• The TV is not completely disconnected from
the power supply line, as minute current is
consumed even when the !Power switch
is turned off.
• The Mains plug or an appliance coupler is
used as the disconnect device, therefore
the disconnect device shall remain readily
operable.

Connecting an aerial
Optimum reception of colour requires a good
signal and will generally mean that an outdoor
aerial must be used.
The exact type and positioning of the aerial will
depend upon your particular area.
Your Toshiba dealer or service personnel can
best advise you on which aerial to use in your
area.
Before connecting the aerial cable, turn off all
main power switches.

area. Batteries must not be exposed to
excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the
like.
• Attention should be drawn to the environmental
aspects of battery disposal.
• Never mix battery types or combine used
batteries with new ones.
Notes:
• If the remote control does not operate correctly,
or if the operating range becomes reduced,
replace both batteries with new ones.
• If the batteries are dead or if you will not use
the remote control for a long time, remove the
batteries to prevent battery acid from leaking
into the battery compartment.
