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 Americans, 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.

Toshiba Cares!

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!

Connecting your TV

Note: Cables are not supplied with your TV.

???Coaxial cable is the cable that comes in from your antenna, cable TV service, or cable converter box. Coaxial cable uses ???F??? connectors.

???Standard stereo A/V cables usually come in sets of three, and are typically color-coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio. Your TV???s stand- ard A/V inputs are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.

???S-Video cable is for use with video equipment that has S-Video connectors.

???Component video cables come in sets of three (typically color-coded red, green, and blue), and are for use with video equipment that has component video connectors. Your TV???s ColorStream?? (component video) inputs are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.

NOTE REGARDING PICTURE QUALITY

When connecting video equipment to your Toshiba TV:

???For GOOD picture quality: Use a standard yellow video cable.

???For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has S-video connec- tors, use an S-video cable instead of a standard yellow video cable. (You still must connect the standard red and white audio cables for full system connection, but do not connect a standard yellow video cable at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.)

???For BEST picture quality: If your equipment has component video connectors, use component video cables instead of a standard yellow video cable or S-video cable. (You still must connect the standard red and white audio cables for full system connection.)

Blocking programs by ratings

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) uses a rating system to qualify motion picture content. Television broadcasters employ a similar rating system to qualify the content of television programs.

The TV and MPAA ratings work with the V-Chip feature to allow you to block access to programs that exceed the rating limits you set.

Ratings definitions

TV Ratings

Y7, Y7FV Directed to older children. Programs rated Y7 are designed for children 7 and above.

Programs rated Y7FV contain fantasy violence that may be more intense or combative than Y7- rated programs.

YFor all children. Programs rated Y are designed to be appropriate for all children.

14Parents strongly cautioned. This program contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age.

GGeneral audience. Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages.

MPAA Ratings

RRestricted. Under 17 requires an accompanying parent or adult guardian.
