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.
Toshiba Cares!
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 children’s 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!

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/DVD
•Place the TV/DVD on the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location
where light does not directly hit the screen.
•Place the TV/DVD far enough from the walls to allow proper
ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which
may damage the TV/DVD.
Connecting yourTV/DVD
•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/DVD, 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 17).

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/DVD.With the switch in the "A"
position, tune your TV/DVD 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/
DVD, there may be features that you cannot
program using the remote control, such as
labeling channels, blocking channels, and
programming your favorite channels.

will decrease. If you use an S-video cable
between the TV/DVD and DVD player/satellite
receiver, make the audio connections but
remove the standard video cable. Do not
connect both an S-video and a standard
video cable to VIDEO1 at the same time or
the picture performance will be unacceptable.
