Important

Safeguards

24) Always operate this equipment from

a 120V AC, 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 10–25 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
ingrained 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, closed captions,
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.
