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. We Care! 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! ENER Y STAR ENERGY STAR qualified TV.

Introduction Connecting your TV Setting up your TV Using the TV s Features Appendix 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 according 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). To prevent equipment damage, do not plug in any power cords until you have finished connecting all equipment.

Do not connect a standard video cable and an S-video cable to VIDEO-1 simultaneously. The unauthorized recording, use, distribution or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability. 9 J3R50121A(E)P02-10 9 21/08/2004, 4:19 PM
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. Connecting your TV 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 (sometimes 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. 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.

Introduction Connecting your TV Setting up your TV Using the TV s Features Appendix Connecting an HDMI or a DVI device to the HDMI input The HDMI [1] input on your TV receives digital audio and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI device or uncompressed digital video from a DVI [2] device. This input is designed to accept HDCP [3] program material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861B compliant [4] consumer electronic devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output). The HDMI input is designed for best performance with high definition video signals. It will accept and display 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i signals. The HDMI jack is not intended for connection to and should not be used with a personal computer. For PC connection, see page 16. To connect an HDMI device, you will need: one HDMI cable (type A connector) For proper operation, it is recommended that you use as short an HDMI cable as possible. You should not encounter difficulty if you use an HDMI cable that is shorter than 16.4 ft (5m). HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate analog audio cables are not required (see illustration below). You must set the HDMI audio input setting to HDMI in the AUDIO menu (see page 43). 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 43). If you connect an HDMI device and analog audio cables and play media with digital audio output, to hear digital audio you must set the HDMI audio input setting to HDMI (page 43). [1] HDMI = High-Definition Multimedia Interface. [2] DVI = Digital Video Interface. [3] HDCP = High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. [4] EIA/CEA-861/861B compliance covers the transmission of uncompressed digital video with highbandwidth 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. To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset properly, it is recommended that you follow these procedures: When turning on your electronic components, turn on the TV first, and then the HDMI or DVI device. When turning off your electronic components, turn off the HDMI or DVI device first,and then the TV. To connect a DVI device, you will need: one HDMI to DVI adapter cable (HDMI type A connector) 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). 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).

Introduction Connecting your TV Setting up your TV Using the TV s Features Appendix Setting up your TV Using the remote control Preparing the remote control for use 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.) Installing the remote control batteries To install the batteries: 1. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote control. 2. Install two AA size batteries. Match the + and signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment. 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. Caution: Never throw batteries into fire. 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. 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. Using the remote control with a cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR or DVD player To control a cable TV converter/satellite receiver: Program the remote control to recognize the brand of your cable TV converter/satellite receiver (see Programming the remote control for use with a cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR or DVD player on page 18.)

To control a DVD player: Program the remote control to recognize the brand of your DVD player (see Programming the remote control for use with a cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR or DVD player below). The buttons shown at right will then control the DVD player. Set the TV CBL/SAT VCR DVD selector to DVD first.

To control cable TV converters/ satellite receivers, VCRs and DVD players other than Toshiba models, you must follow the steps below to program your remote control. 1. Refer to the code tables (on pages 19 and 20) to find the corresponding code for your brand. If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you find the one that works. 2. If you are programming the remote control to operate your: Cable TV converter/satellite receiver: Set thetv CBL/ SAT VCR DVD selector to CBL/SAT. VCR: Set the TV CBL/SAT VCR DVD selector to VCR. DVD player: Set the TV CBL/SAT VCR DVD selector to DVD. 3. While holding down RECALL, press the Channel Number buttons to enter the three-digit code for your cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR or DVD player brand. 4. Point the remote control at the cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR or DVD player, and press POWER to test the code. If the cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR or DVD player responds, you entered the correct code. 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. For future reference, write down the codes you used: Cable TV converter/satellite receiver code VCR code DVD player code 18 Recall Channel Numbers TV CBL/SAT VCR DVD selector 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.
