NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSEEFFECTS ON TV PICTURE DISPLAY

If a fixed (non-moving) pattern or image remains onthe TV screen for extended periods of time, theimage can become permanently ingrained in thecathode ray tube(s) of the TV and cause subtle butpermanent ghost images. This type of damage isNOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. See page4 for details.

It Makes A DifferenceWhere Your TV StandsCongratulations on your purchase! As you enjoyyour 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 orinappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves,desks, audio speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVsmay fall over, causing unnecessary injury.

Toshiba Cares! The consumer electronics industry

is committed to making homeentertainment enjoyable and safe. The Consumer ElectronicsAssociation formed the HomeEntertainment Support SafetyCommittee, comprised of TV andconsumer electronics furnituremanufacturers, to advocatechildren’s safety and educate

consumers and their families abouttelevision safety.

Tune Into Safety One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate

furniture large enough to support the weight of yourTV (and other electronic components).

Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors tosecure your furniture to the wall (but never screwanything directly into the TV).

Carefully read and understand the other enclosedinstructions for proper use of this product.

Do not allow children to climb on or play withfurniture and TVs.

Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as aVCR, remote control, or toy) that a curious child mayreach for.

Remember that children can become excited whilewatching a program and can potentially push or pulla TV over.

Share our safety message about this hidden hazardof the home with your family and friends. Thank you!

Words that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes.For television programs broadcasting with closed captions, look in your TV guide for the closed captions symbol(CC).

TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONSPress CLOSED CAPTION to switch between normal TV and the two closedcaption modes (captions and full screen text). Closed captioning will display texton the screen for hearing impaired viewers.

Closed captionsWHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?This television has the capability to decode and display closed captionedtelevision programs. Closed captioning will display text on the screen forhearing impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in anotherlanguage.

Notes:• When selecting closed captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the caption mode.• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during closed captioning. This is normal with closed captioning,

especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do notallow time for editing.

• When captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may interfere with closedcaptions.

• Some cable TV systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the closed captioned signal.• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the closed caption decoder may not appear or may appear with

strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.

If this is the case,have the unit checked by qualifiedservice personnel.

Notes:• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR

SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE REAR COVER.• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced

when they fail to produce clear pictures.• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality

VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.

Video head cleaningVideo head cleaning is needed when the playback picturebecomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are gettingdirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damagedtapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent highquality chemical non-abrasive (wet) head cleaning tape orhave them cleaned professionally.

Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHFantenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results. The most common types of televisioninterference are shown below. If one of these symptoms appear when the unit is connected to a cable TVsystem, the disturbance may be caused by the local cable TV company broadcast.

GHOSTSGhosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One isthe direct path and the other is reflected by tall buildings, hills or otherlarge objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna mayimprove the reception.

IGNITIONBlack spots or horizontal streaks may appear, the picture may flutter ordrift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems,neon lamps or AC powered tools and appliances such as drills or hairdryers.

SNOWIf the unit is located far from the TV station, in a fringe reception areawhere the signal is weak, small dots may appear in the picture.If the signal is extremely weak, the installation of a larger externalantenna may be necessary.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)Caused by two-way radios, this type of interference produces movingripples or diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases may cause aloss of contrast in the picture. Changing the direction and position ofthe antenna or installing an RFI filter may improve the picture.

PICTURE SIZE VARIATIONA slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRASTor BRIGHTNESS settings.

CARE AND MAINTENANCETo prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the unit from the power source before cleaning.The finish on the cabinet may be cleaned with mild soap and a soft, damp cloth and cared for as other furniture.Use caution when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.
