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.
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!

NOTE TO CATV INSTALLERS
This is a reminder to call the CATV system installer’s attention to
Article 820-40 of the NEC, which provides guidelines for proper
grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground
shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical. For additional
antenna grounding information, see items 27 and 28 on page 4.
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 “Appendix” on pages 56–60.
• Dispose of the used lamp unit by the approved method for
your area.
Note: The lamp unit contains mercury, the disposal of which
may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For
