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 a If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your home. Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV. a 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. a 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! a The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe. a 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 a One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate furniture large enough to support the weight of your TV (and other electronic components). a Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure your furniture to the wall (but never screw anything directly into the TV). a Carefully read and understand the other enclosed instructions for proper use of this product. a Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture and TVs. a Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR, remote control, or toy) that a curious child may reach for. a Remember that children can become excited while watching a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over. a Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of the home with your family and friends.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 10 Chapter 2: Connecting your TV 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 (F-type) cable Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your antenna, cable TV service, and/or cable converter box to the ANT 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. S-video cable S-video cable is for use with video devices with S-video output. Separate audio cables are required for a complete connection. Note: An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a composite video cable. If you connect an S-video cable, be sure to disconnect the standard (composite) video cable or the picture performance will be unacceptable. 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 or S-video cable. HDMI™ cable HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use with devices with an HDMI output. An HDMI cable delivers digital audio and video in its native format. This cable carries both video and audio information; therefore, separate audio cables are not required for a complete HDMI device connection (- page 15). Note: HDMI cable provides better picture performance than a standard (composite) video or S-video cable. 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 16).

Programming channels into the TV’s channel memory When you press < or , on the remote control or TV control panel, your TV will stop only on the channels you program into the TV’s channel memory. Follow the steps below to program channels into the TV’s channel memory. Programming channels automatically Your TV can automatically detect all active channels in your area and store them in its memory. After the channels are programmed automatically, you can manually add or erase individual channels in the channel memory. Note: • If the input signal type is set to CABLE for an antenna input, the automatic channel programming process erases channels that were previously programmed into the TV’s memory. • If the input signal type is set to TV, the automatic channel programming process does NOT erase channels that were previously programmed into the TV’s memory, but adds newly found channels to the existing set of programmed channels. To remove a channel from the memory, you must manually delete it. • To tune the TV to a channel not programmed in the channel memory, you must use the Channel Number buttons on the remote control. • Programming channels for an antenna input configured for CABLE will take substantially longer than for an antenna input configured for TV. This is normal; however, once channel programming is completed, you should not have to repeat the programming process again unless your Cable TV service lineup changes significantly. To program channels automatically: 1 Press Y and open the Set Up menu. 2 Press B or b to highlight TV/CABLE. 3 Press C or c to select either TV (if you use an antenna) or CABLE (if you use cable channels).
