If a fixed (non-moving) pattern or image remains on the TV screen for extended periods of time, the image can become permanently ingrained in the cathode ray tube(s) of the TV and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. See page 4 for details.

It Makes A Difference Where Your TV Stands

TOSHIBA MW20F52 - It Makes A Difference Where Your TV Stands - 1

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!

Toshiba □ The co e te Tu □ One size

☐ 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!

Cable TV connections

This unit has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box. Some cable companies offer "premium pay channels" in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.

For subscribers to basic cable TV service

75 ohm coaxial cable Antenna jack

For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box, connect the Cable TV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the Antenna jack on the back of the unit.

For subscribers to scrambled cable TV service

If you subscribe to a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm coaxial cable, connect the output jack of the converter/descrambler box to the antenna jack on the unit. Follow the connections shown below. Set the unit to the output channel of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to select channels.

osed captions

WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?

This television has the capability to decode and display closed captioned television programs. Closed captioning will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in another language.

TOSHIBA MW20F52 - WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING? - 1
CLOSED CAPTION

Closed captions

Captions: This closed caption mode will display text on the screen in English or another language (depending on the setting of the closed captions CH 1/2).

Generally, closed captions in English are transmitted on captions channel 1 and closed captions in other languages are transmitted on captions channel 2.

Text: The text closed caption mode will usually fill the screen with a programming schedule or other information. After selecting a closed caption mode, it will stay in effect until it is changed, even if the channel is changed.

If the captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in the signal, the captions will reappear when the signal is received again. If the channels are changed, the captions will be delayed approximately 10 seconds. The captions will appear in places on the screen where they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show three-line closed captions which scroll onto the screen.

Most other shows provide two or three lined captions placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer can follow the dialogue. Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in foreign languages or words requiring emphasis. 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 CAPTIONS

Press CLOSED CAPTION to switch between normal TV and the two closed caption modes (captions and full screen text). Closed captioning will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers.

TOSHIBA MW20F52 - TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS - 1
CAPTION CH 1

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 not allow time for editing.
  • When captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may interfere with closed captions.
  • Some cable 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.

NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON TV PICTURE DISPLAY

Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for extended periods of time. Fixed (non-moving) patterns or images (including but not limited to PIP/POP windows, closed captions, video game patterns, TV station logos, stock tickers, websites, and special formats that do not use the entire screen) can become permanently ingrained in the cathode ray tube(s) of the TV and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. See item 33 on page 4.

To memorize channels

This unit is equipped with a channel memory feature which allows channels to skip up or down to the next channel set into memory, skipping over unwanted channels. Before selecting channels, they must be programmed into the unit's memory. In addition to normal VHF and UHF channels, this unit can receive up to 113 cable TV channels. To use this unit with an antenna, set the TV/CABLE selection to the TV position. When shipped from the factory, this selection is in the CABLE position.

Video head cleaning

■ Video head clogging

The video heads are the means by which the unit reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, the unit need to check and clean by the qualified service personnel.

TOSHIBA MW20F52 - ■ Video head clogging - 1
Good Picture

TOSHIBA MW20F52 - ■ Video head clogging - 2

■ Video head cleaning

Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting dirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high quality chemical non-abrasive (wet) head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the unit once does not improve the picture, play it several times before requesting service.

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.

Reception disturbances

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

IGNITION

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

TOSHIBA MW20F52 - IGNITION - 1

natural_image Black-and-white portrait of a smiling person with curly hair (no visible text or symbols)

GHOSTS

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected by tall buildings, hills or other large objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the reception.

TOSHIBA MW20F52 - GHOSTS - 1

natural_image Black-and-white portrait of a person with curly hair (no visible text or symbols)

SNOW

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

TOSHIBA MW20F52 - SNOW - 1

natural_image Grayscale abstract image with indistinct dark shapes on a speckled background (no text or symbols)

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)

Caused by two-way radios, this type of interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases may cause a loss of contrast in the picture. Changing the direction and position of the antenna or installing an RFI filter may improve the picture.
