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!

30HF83 specifications

The Toshiba 30HF83 is a versatile television model that appeals to viewers seeking quality performance and reliable technology in a compact size. Launched during a time when CRT televisions were phasing out, the 30HF83 blends traditional CRT characteristics with innovative features tailored for enhanced viewing experiences.

One of the standout features of the Toshiba 30HF83 is its 30-inch screen, which offers a comfortable viewing size for small to medium rooms. The television utilizes Toshiba's renowned Aqua tuning system that helps set outstanding image clarity and sharpness. The CRT display delivers vibrant colors and deep blacks, ensuring an enjoyable viewing experience whether you are watching a movie or a daily show.

Additionally, the 30HF83 boasts a 16x9 aspect ratio, allowing for a more cinematic viewing experience. This aspect ratio supports both widescreen content and standard programming, providing flexibility for various types of media. The television also comes equipped with multiple input options, including composite, S-video, and RF connectivity. This versatility allows users to connect external devices such as DVD players, gaming consoles, and VCRs, catering to a variety of entertainment preferences.

In terms of sound performance, the Toshiba 30HF83 integrates a built-in audio system designed to complement its visual capabilities. The TV features stereo sound, which enhances the overall viewing experience by delivering clear audio alongside superior video performance.

One key characteristic of the 30HF83 is its solid build quality and durability, a hallmark of Toshiba products. Weighing in at a significant amount compared to modern flat-screen TVs, the CRT design ensures a sturdy construction but may pose challenges for mounting or moving the television. Its traditional design may appeal to those who prefer the retro aesthetic or those who are fans of CRT technology.

In conclusion, the Toshiba 30HF83 is a notable choice for individuals looking for reliable, solid performance in a CRT television. With a robust feature set that supports various media types, it maintains Toshiba's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Its unique combination of traditional and modern functionalities offers a viewing experience that remains enjoyable even as technology evolves.
