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!

24) Always operate this equipment from
a 120 VAC, 60 Hz power source only.
25) Always make sure the antenna system is properly
grounded to provide adequate protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges (see Section 810 of the
National Electric Code).
26)
DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH!
· Use extreme care to make sure you are never in
a position where your body (or any item you are in contact
with, such as a ladder or screwdriver) can accidentally
touch overhead power lines. Never locate the antenna
near overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.
· Never attempt to install any of the following during
lightning activity:
a) an antenna system; or b) cables, wires, or any home
theater component connected to an antenna or phone
system.
Care
For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA
TV, follow these recommendations and precautions:
27) Always sit approximately 1025 feet away from the TV and
as directly in front of it as possible. The picture can appear
dull if you sit too far to the left or right of the TV, or if
sunlight or room lights reflect on the screen. Turn the TV
off to check for reflections on the screen, and then remove
the source of reflections while viewing the TV.
28) Always unplug the TV before
cleaning. Never use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
29)
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind
into the TV cabinet slots.
30) [This item applies to projection TVs only.] If the air
temperature rises suddenly (for example, when the TV is
first delivered), condensation may form on the lenses. This
can make the picture appear distorted or the color appear
faded. If this happens, turn off the TV for 6 to 7 hours to
allow the condensation to evaporate.
31) For added protection of your TV from lightning and power
surges, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the
antenna from the TV if you leave the TV unattended or
unused for long periods of time.
32) 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.
33) Possible Adverse Effects on TV Picture Tube: If a fixed
(non-moving) pattern remains on the TV screen for long
periods of time, the image can become permanently
engrained in the picture tube and cause subtle but
permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT
COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your TV
on for long periods of time while it is displaying the
following formats or images:
· Fixed Images, such as PIP/POP windows, stock tickers,
video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.
· Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For
example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a
normal (4:3) display (gray bars at top and bottom of
screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a
widescreen (16:9) display (gray bars on left and right
sides of screen).
Service
34)
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Never attempt to service the
TV yourself. Opening and
removing the covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to a
Toshiba Authorized Service Center.
35) If you have the TV serviced:
· Ask the service technician to use only replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer.
· Upon completion of service, ask
the service technician to perform
routine safety checks to determine
that the TV is in safe operating
condition.
36) When the TV reaches the end of its useful life, ask a
qualified service technician to properly dispose of the TV.
Improper disposal may result in a picture tube implosion
and possible personal injury.

Important Safety Precautions for Split Cabinet Feature
(Models 57H84 and 65H84 only)
Toshiba TV models 57H84 and 65H84 have a split cabinet
feature that allows disassembly of the cabinet into two
sections during installation.
For details, please refer to the insert titled "Disassembly/
Reassembly Instructions for Split Cabinet Feature" that
accompanied this owner's manual in the accessory pack.
If you do not have the insert, you can download a copy of
it from our Web site (www.toshiba.com/tacp in the U.S.A.
or www.toshiba.ca in Canada). If you do not have access
to the Internet, call 1-800-631-3811 in the U.S.A. or 1-800-
268-3404 in Canada.
WARNING: If you split the cabinet for any
purpose, NEVER energize the bottom section
until it is completely and properly installed.
Energizing the disassembled bottom section and
subjecting it to intentional misuse (for example, exposing it to
a foreign object) creates the potential for an electrical shock
hazard that could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: If you use the split cabinet feature, ALWAYS
handle and treat the top section of the TV cabinet, which
contains a glass mirror, with great care. If subjected to
excessive mechanical abuse (for example, if bumped or
dropped), the mirror may break, creating exposed glass
fragments with sharp edges. Contact with these glass
fragments may result in injury.
Installation, Care, and Service
CAUTION: The split cabinet feature (models 57H84 and
65H84 only) allows disassembly of the cabinet into two
sections during installation. If you use the split cabinet
feature, follow these precautions while the two sections of
the TV cabinet are disassembled:
1) Always handle and treat the top section of the TV cabinet
(with the viewing screen), which contains a glass mirror,
with great care. If subjected to excessive mechanical
abuse (for example, if bumped or dropped), the mirror
may break, creating exposed glass fragments with sharp
edges. Contact with these glass fragments may result in
injury.
2) Never temporarily locate the disassembled bottom section
in an area where it may be exposed to foreign objects or
abuse (for example, areas where children may be playing,
where items may fall on top of the unit, or where liquids
may spill into the unit). Failure to follow this instruction
may result in damage to the optic components of the TV.
SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE
TOSHIBA LIMITED WARRANTY.
3) Always keep the top and bottom sections of the TV
cabinet in an upright position while disassembled. Failure
to follow this instruction may result in damage to the TV,
including but not limited to the optic components, cabinet,
bezel, and glass mirror. SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT
COVERED UNDER THE TOSHIBA LIMITED WARRANTY.
4) Never energize the bottom section of the TV cabinet
while disassembled. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in death or serious injury.
5) Never place anything on top of the disassembled bottom
section of the TV cabinet. Failure to follow this instruction
may result in damage to the optic components. SUCH
DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TOSHIBA
LIMITED WARRANTY.
6) Never store or transport the unit while it is disassembled.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to
the TV, including but not limited to the optic components,
cabinet, bezel, and glass mirror. SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT
COVERED UNDER THE TOSHIBA LIMITED WARRANTY.
