as close to the point of cable entry as practical. For
additional antenna grounding information, see items
34 and 35 on page 4.
Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your
new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:
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
inappropriately situated on dressers,
bookcases, shelves, desks,
speakers, chests or carts may fall
over and cause injury.
TOSHIBA Cares!
• The consumer electronics industry
is committed to making home
entertainment enjoyable and safe.
Tune Into Safety
• 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.
• 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.
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.
CHILD SAFETY:
It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat
Panel Display

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.
Coaxial cable (F-type)
(F-type) Coaxial cable is used for connecting your
antenna, cable TV service, and/or cable converter box
to the ANT/CABLE input on your TV.
Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)
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.
Component video cables (red/green/blue)
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 “ ”)
Use it with devices built-in HDMI output. An HDMI
cable delivers digital audio and video in its native
format. Separate audio cables are not required
( pages 18-19).
Note: HDMI cables provide the best audio and
picture quality.
Optical audio 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 20).
Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable
Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable is for connecting
a PC to the TV’s PC IN terminal ( page 20).
Note: Separate audio cables are required for a
complete connection.
3.5mm Stereo to RCA Y-cable
3.5mm Stereo to RCA Y-Cable is for connecting audio
signal from DVI device to TV.
LAN cable
Standard LAN cable is used to connect the TV to your
home network ( page 21).
Crossover LAN cable is used to connect the TV directly
to a PC ( page 21).
About the connection illustrations
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.

[1] EIA/CEA-861-D 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 DVI
device to the HDMI input
The HDMI input on your TV receives digital audio
and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI
source device, or uncompressed digital video from a
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) source device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP (High-
Bandwidth Digital-Content Protection) program
material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861-D–
compliant[1] consumer electronic devices (such as
a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI
output).
The HDMI input can accept and display VGA,
SVGA, XGA, WXGA, SXGA, 480i (60Hz), 480p
(60Hz), 720p (60Hz), 1080i (60Hz), and 1080p
(24Hz/60Hz) signal formats. For detailed signal
specifications, see page 76.
Supported Audio format: Linear PCM, sampling rate
32/44.1/ 48 kHz
Note:
•To connect a PC to the HDMI input, see page 20.
•Some legacy HDMI sources may not work properly with
your HDMI TV due to the adoption of new standards.
Try setting the following options (INSTAPORT™ and
RGB Range) to Off (  page 42).
To connect an HDMI device, you will need:
• HDMI cable (type A connector) per HDMI device
− For proper operation, it is recommended that
you use an HDMI cable with the HDMI Logo
( ).
− To display an 1080i/60Hz signal format, you
will need a High Speed HDMI cable.
A conventional HDMI/DVI cable may not
work properly.
− HDMI cables transfer both video and audio.
Separate analog audio cables are not
required (see illustration).

*Dolby®Digital or 2-channel down-mixed PCM
(pulse-code modulation) signal for use with an
external Dolby®Digital decoder or other external

See “Selecting the optical audio output format”(
page 53).
Note:
•Some audio systems may not be compatible
with Dolby Digital bitstream signals. Older
audio systems that are not compatible with
standard optical out signals may not work
properly, creating a high noise level that
may damage speakers or headphones.
THIS DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR
WARRANTY.
•The DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal may not
output some digital audio sources because
of copy restrictions.
•The Dolby Digital format is available in the
following situations:
− When tuned to a digital RF channel.
− When an HDMI input is used.
− When DLNA Certified products or Widgets are
used.
