your new TV, keep these safety tips in mind:  
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in  
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.  
The Issue  
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators,  
heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including  
amplifiers) that produce heat.  
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.  
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or  
grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades  
with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has  
two blades and a third grounding  
Wide plug  
prong. The wide blade or the third  
prong are provided for your safety.  
If the provided plug does not fit into  
your outlet, consult an electrician  
for replacement of the obsolete outlet.  
Toshiba Cares!  
10) Protect the power cord from being  
walked on or pinched, particularly at  
plugs, convenience receptacles, and  
the point where they exit from the  
apparatus.  
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.  
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the  
manufacturer.  
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,  
bracket, or table specified by the  
manufacturer, or sold with the  
apparatus. When a cart is used, use  
caution when moving the cart/apparatus  
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.  
Tune Into Safety  
13) Unplug this apparatus during  
lightning storms or when

non-moving image is displayed for a long period of time.  
The afterimage is not permanent and will disappear in a  
short period of time.  
33) During normal use, the TV may make occasional snapping  
or popping sounds. This is normal, especially when the  
unit is being turned on or off. If these sounds become  
frequent or continuous, unplug the power cord and  
contact a Toshiba Authorized Service Center.  
2) The LCD panel contained in this TV is manufactured using  
an extremely high level of precision technology; however,  
there may be an occasional pixel (dot of light) that does  
not operate properly (that does not light, that remains  
constantly lit, etc.). This is a structural property of LCD  
technology, is not a sign of malfunction, and is not  
covered under your warranty. Such pixels are not visible  
when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing  
distance.

Installing the remote control batteries  
To install the batteries:  
1. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote control.  
Caution:  
Never throw batteries into a fire.  
2. Install two batteries (R6 size “AA”). Match the + and – signs on  
the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.  
Note:  
• Be sure to use AA size batteries.  
• Dispose of batteries in a designated  
disposal area.  
• Batteries should always be disposed of with  
the environment in mind. Always dispose of  
batteries in accordance with applicable laws  
and regulations.  
3. Replace the battery cover on the remote control until the lock  
snaps.  
• If the remote control does not operate  
correctly, or if the operating range becomes  
reduced, replace batteries with new ones.  
Remote control effective range  
• When necessary to replace batteries in the  
remote control, always replace both  
batteries with new ones. Never mix battery  
types or use new and used batteries in  
combination.  
• 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.  
* The TV is in standby mode when the power is OFF but the power cord is still plugged into an outlet.
