Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing this Toshiba TV. This manual will
help you use the many exciting features of your new TV.
Before operating the TV, please read this manual
completely, and keep it nearby for future reference.
The lamp in this product has a limited service life. The length of
service life varies depending on product use and user settings.
If you use the lamp beyond its service life:
• you may notice a reduction in the colors and/or brightness of the
picture, at which time you should replace the lamp unit; and
• the strength of the quartz glass in the lamp will be reduced and
the lamp may rupture. If the lamp ruptures, the TV will not
operate until the lamp unit is replaced.
Note: The lamp unit is designed so broken lamp glass
remains securely inside the lamp unit.
See “Lamp unit replacement and care” on pages 98–100.
• Dispose of the used lamp unit by the approved method for your
area.
Note: The lamp unit contains mercury.
Disposal of mercury may be regulated due to

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
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!
