accidentally touch overhead power lines. Never locate
the antenna near overhead power lines or other
electrical circuits.

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).
