one way into a standard electrical
outlet (120 volt AC, 60 Hz). If
the plug does not fit into the
outlet, try turning it around. If
the plug still does not fit, the

qualified electrician. Do not tamper with the plug or try to force
it into a non-standard outlet.
Note to CATV system installers in the USA
This reminder is provided 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.
Precautions
Installing your TV
• Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform. The
mounting surface should be flat and steady. If you install the
TV on a soft floor, make sure that the floor is not damaged
by the weight of the TV.
• Place the TV far enough away from the walls to allow proper
ventilation. This will prevent the TV from overheating and
avoid possible damage to the TV. Avoid dusty areas too.
Using your TV
• Do not stand or climb on the TV.
• Do not put any heavy object on top of the TV.
• Do not place containers with liquids such as drinks or
cosmetics on the TV. If any foreign material or water leaks
into the TV, unplug the AC cord and contact your dealer.
• Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for
extended periods of time. Stationary patterns generated by a
PIP/double-window display, computer displays, video games,
stock market reports, etc., can become permanently
engrained on the picture tube. This damage is not protected
by your warranty because it is the result of misuse. If you wish
to use your TV to display still images, reduce brightness and
contrast settings. Never leave a PIP/double-window,
computer, or video game display unattended.
Cleaning your TV
• To clean the TV screen:
1. First remove the plug from the power outlet to avoid
possible shock hazard.
2. Use a clean cellulose sponge or chamois cloth dampened
with a solution of mild detergent and warm water to clean
TV screen and trim. Do not use too much water on the TV
screen. Water spills into the cabinet and may cause damage
to the TV. Avoid excess water.
3. Remove any extra moisture with the same cloth or a dry
one.
• To maintain the finish and appearance of the cabinet, polish
it from time to time with a quality furniture polish.
CAUTION
Never use strong solvents such as thinner, benzene or other
chemicals on or near cabinet, as they might damage the finish of
the cabinet.

Use this TV with the Toshiba stand listed in
the Specifications section on page 52 only.
Use with other stands may result in
instability, causing possible injury or death.
NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON TV PICTURE TUBE
Extensive viewing of fixed (non-moving) images or patterns can
cause uneven aging of the picture tube, and leave a subtle but
permanent ghost image in the picture. This type of damage is
NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY
. Never leave the TV on
and unattended for long periods of time while the following
formats or images are displayed:
—
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 (bars at top and bottom of screen), or viewing
normal (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (bars on
left and right sides of screen).
