IMPORTANT INFORMATION

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 places.

•Damage may occur if you leave the TV in direct sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places subject to extremely high temperatures or humidity, and temperatures of 41˚F(5˚C) or lower.

•If you decide to subscribe to DIRECTV, we strongly recommend that you have the satellite system professionally installed. Installation can be arranged through the dealer where the TV was purchased.

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.

•If the room temperature suddenly rises, condensation may occur on the lenses resulting in picture distortion or color fading. In such a case, simply wait a while (with the power on) and the condensation will evaporate.

• Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for extended periods of

time. Stationary patterns generated by a picture-out-picture (POP) 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 POP, computer, or video game display unattended.

•Sit approximately 10-25 feet away from the TV. Sitting too far to the left or right of the screen will cause the picture to appear dull as will direct sunlight and room lights. Turn the TV off to check for reflections on the screen. Then remove the source of any reflections while viewing.

Software Upgrade

•Your digital satellite receiver is able to receive upgrades or modifications to some of its features and functions. These modifications will occur automatically (usually at times when most viewers are not watching programming). When an upgrade or modification is sent, you may experience a disruption in reception for a few minutes. Your reception should return to normal after the modification is complete. Your receiver must be plugged in to receive upgrades. Do not unplug your receiver while an upgrade is in progress. Please consult the Upgrade menu to find a schedule of upgrades or modifications planned by DIRECTV.

Cleaning your TV

• Clean the TV with a soft dry cloth. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzene which might damage the finish of the cabinet. If the cabinet is very dirty, use a damp cloth to wipe the cabinet clean, then finish with a dry cloth.

WELCOME TO HDTV

High Definition refers to a new way of sending programming information over the airwaves and into your TV. There are two types of TV display formats available. One is ATSC format, which originated from the Advanced Television Systems Committee. The other is NTSC format, which is named for the National Television Systems Committee. What makes your High Definition Television (HDTV) special is that it has tuners capable of receiving ATSC and NTSC formats as well as digital satellite signals. You can receive: analog (in NTSC format), digital terrestrial (in ATSC format), cable (in NTSC and ATSC formats), and digital satellite. This TV makes receiving all types of signals seamless. Below is an example of how your HDTV can receive the different types of signals.

DIRECTV SATELLITE

SATELLITE DISH ANTENNA*

TOWER SENDING DIGITAL SIGNALS

DIRECTV HD SATELLITE

DIGITAL OFF-AIR ANTENNA

ANALOG OFF-AIR ANTENNA

HDTV

TOWER SENDING ANALOG SIGNALS

So why is it called High Definition? Definition—commonly called resolution—refers to the sharpness of the image and is determined by the number of dots, or pixels, your screen uses to create the image. The more pixels the sharper the image. An HDTV normally has either 1080 or 720 rows and over 1,000 columns of pixels. This results in a display of over one million pixels. Your HDTV also has a wide screen, or “wide aspect ratio” of 16:9 as opposed to the common 4:3 ratio. It is normally capable of displaying both interlaced images (like today’s analog TVs) and progressive images (like a computer monitor).

What this all means is that while digital broadcasting will bring many new possibilities, only people with HDTVs like yours will actually be capable of realizing many of them. A wide aspect ratio, one million pixel resolution, CD-quality audio with Dolby Digital surround sound, and improved interactivity are features of many digital broadcasts, and your HDTV will help bring it all into your home.

GETTING STARTED

Now that you have an understanding of what your HDTV can do, read on to find necessary information about how to use the TV.

The first section of this manual shows you how to connect components and speakers to your TV. The “Basic TV Operation” section describes how you receive the three signals and the important modes of operation: TV mode and DIRECTV mode. The rest of this manual describes how to use your television’s many features, such as program guides, picture and audio controls, and system options.

* The appearance of your satellite dish antenna may differ from that shown here.

If your satellite dish antenna is round instead of oval, you can receive programming from only the DIRECTV satellite.

STEP 1: CONNECT YOUR TV TO OTHER COMPONENTS

During the satellite dish antenna installation, the TV may have been connected with just a coaxial cable for the system test. Depending on what components you have, another connection may provide better picture and audio quality. The following sections provide cable and connection information to help you decide what connection is best for you.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE CONNECTING COMPONENTS

Protect Your Components from Power Surges

• Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.

• Always turn off the TV and other components before you connect or disconnect any cables.

Position Cables Correctly to Avoid Audio Hum or Interference

•Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.

•Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV’s back panel instead of straight down the middle after you connect your components.

•Try not to coil any twin-lead cables; keep them away from the audio/video cables as much as possible.

•Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the safety sheet packed with your unit.

Protect Your Components from Overheating

•Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

•Do not stack components.

• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a stand.

•Place an amplifier on the top shelf of the stand so that heated air rising from it will not flow around other components.

Page 11

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

JACKS AND CABLES

Below is a description of the jacks and cables you can use to make connections. Note that not all cables come with your television unit.

ColorStream™ Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)

ColorStream cables come in sets of three and provide the best picture performance. ColorStream cables can only be used with ColorStream (component video) compatible components.

S-Video Jack and Cable

The S-Video jack provides better picture quality for your system. This jack is available on this TV and is used in conjunction with audio cables. Remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)

The audio/video jacks provide very good picture and stereo sound quality. Theses jacks are used for most audio/video connections between components. The audio/ video jacks are often color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio). If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV.

RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)

The RF jacks are necessary for reception of off-air broadcasts, cable, and DIRECTV signals.

These jacks are required for antenna or cable connections. The RF and coaxial jacks on the TV are labeled SATELLITE IN, ANTENNA A IN, and ANTENNA B IN. An RG-6 coaxial cable is required for all satellite signal distribution.

Optical Jack and Cables

The optical cable is used for connecting a Dolby Digital receiver. If you own a Dolby Digital receiver that uses an optical cable-type input, you can use an optical cable to connect the TV to that receiver for the best sound quality.

Telephone Jack and Cord

A telephone line cord is required to connect your TV to a phone line if you choose to subscribe to DIRECTV® programming. The phone line connection is used to periodically call out to DIRECTV. You will need an RJ11 type modular jack, which is the most common type of phone jack and might look like the one pictured here. If you don’t have a modular jack, call your local telephone company to find out how to get one installed.

USING THE REMOTE

In this section you will find out how to use your universal remote control. This section:

• defines the buttons on the remote control.

• describes how you toggle between TV “mode” and Satellite “mode.”

• shows you how to change between analog off-air, digital off-air, and DIRECTV channels.

• walks you through using the POP (picture-out-picture) feature.

• describes how to program the remote to control other devices such as a VCR.

• describes how to learn operating codes from most infrared remote control transmitters.

Important: Because this universal remote can control several different components (TV, VCR, etc.), it uses operational modes triggered by the component switch. For example, if you want the remote to control the VCR, you would select “VCR” position to put the remote into VCR mode.

USING THE REMOTE

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL

The universal remote can be programmed to control most brands of remote controllable components such as VCRs. The remote is already programmed to control most TOSHIBA TVs, VCRs, and DVD players.

Testing the Remote Control

To determine whether the universal remote control requires programming, turn on a component, such as a VCR, point the remote control at the VCR, and set the component (TV/DVD/VCR/CABLE) switch to “VCR”. Then press POWER or CH yz to see if the VCR responds to the remote control commands. If not, it requires programming.

Programming the Remote Control

1. Refer to the “VCR code table”, ‘DVD code table” or “Cable TV converter code table” on pages 26 and 27 to find the code number that corresponds to the brand name of your component.

If more than one number is listed, try each one separately until you find the one that works.

2. Set the component switch to “VCR”, “DVD” or “CABLE” position.

3. While holding down EXIT, press the Number buttons to enter the three digit code number for your brand of component. The transmit indicator lights up for 1 second when the programming is completed. When an operation error has occurred, the indicator blinks. Press EXIT again to reset.

4. Point the Remote Control at the component and press POWER to test the code number.

–If the number is correct, the component should turn on.

–If the component does not respond to the remote control, repeat steps

1 through 4 with another code number.

•You have to reprogram the remote control when you change its batteries.

•Some newer VCRs are capable of working on either of two remote codes. These VCRs have a switch labeled “VCR 1/VCR 2.”

If your VCR has this kind of switch, and does not respond to any of the code numbers for your VCR brand name, set the switch to the other position (“VCR 1” or “VCR 2”) and reprogram the remote control.

•In some rare cases, you may not be able to operate your non-TOSHIBA equipment with the supplied remote control. This is because your equipment may use a code that is not provided with this remote control. In this case, please use the equipment’s own remote control.

What is a program guide?

A program guide is an on-screen programming schedule. It is a list of the current and future programs. There are separate guides for television programs and DIRECTV (available if you subscribe to DIRECTV® programming).

Both of these guides can be viewed in different formats.

Using the program guides is easy as long as you remember to highlight items on the screen by pressing the arrow buttons on the remote control. Then, press OK to tune to that channel.

Color Temp

Color Temperature displays a list that lets you set one of three automatic color adjustments: Cool for a more blue palette of picture colors, Medium for neutral picture colors, and Warm for a more red palette of picture colors.

Convergence

The projection TV uses three separate TV tubes: a red one, a green one, and a blue one. The red, green, and blue images are projected onto the screen where they converge to form a full color picture. You can see a clear picture only when they converge correctly. Convergence may drift over time or if you move the TV. If you can see clear images on the screen, skip this procedure. This adjustment should be made after the TV has been on for at least 30 minutes.

To check and adjust the color convergence:

1. Press MENU.

2. Select Picture Quality, and then select Convergence.

3. Press x or • to display the center convergence menu.

If you see separate colored lines, you have to adjust the convergence.

Audio Processor

Audio Processor displays a choice list of available audio modes, which control the way the sound comes through your speakers. Depending on your speaker setup, any combination of the following options will appear:

• Mono Plays the sound in mono only. This is a good choice when receiving

broadcasts where distance from the broadcasters makes the stereo signal weak. The channel banner displays the word Mono when you tune to a program that is broadcast in mono.

• Stereo Splits the incoming stereo audio signal into left and right channels. Most TV

programs and recorded materials have stereo audio. The channel banner displays the word Stereo when you tune to a program that is broadcast in stereo.

• Surround Expands the audio listening field wider and deeper to create exceptional

sound quality from the TV’s speakers. This feature uses stereo signals from a TV broadcast or video input.

Audio Output

Audio Output controls whether the built-in speakers are on or off. Select Speakers Off if the TV is connected to an audio amplifier and external speakers.

SAP

When turned on, Second Audio Program (SAP) plays the program’s audio in a second language, if one is available. SAP is also used to broadcast a program’s audio with descriptions of the video for the visually impaired. SAP is broadcast in mono and is not available for digital programs.

SBS

When turned on, Sub-Bass System allows you to improve bass performance even when the sound volume is low.

SBS Level

You can use the slider to control the level of the Sub-Bass System. Sliding the slider left using the left arrow (x ) button decreases the SBS level, sliding the slider right using the right arrow (•) button increases the SBS level. The SBS level can be changed even if SBS is Off.

For more information on the variable audio jacks, see the section “Setup and Connect ions” under “Back of the TV ” and “Connecting a Stereo Amplifier.”

You will find an audio language icon in the channel banner. When this icon is highlighted, it indicates that a Second Audio Program (SAP) is available for analog programs. If you select it when highlighted, you will activate the SAP for the current channel (all other channels remain unaffected). If the icon is highlighted when watching a digital channel or a DIRECTV channel, more than one audio language is available. If you select the icon, you will hear the language and the name will appear in the channel banner.

SETTING THE TV RATING

The Set TV Rating menu enables you to program your TV so children cannot see certain programs or channels.

The last three choices in the TV Setup menu involve software inside your TV (often called V-Chip) which allows you to “block” TV programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view. In other words, it lets you program your TV so it will not display certain programs. Once you block programs, you or other adults are not limited to only parent-approved programs; you can “unblock” programs by entering the system password.

The V-Chip software inside your TV is initially turned “off,” so if you choose not to implement it, you can just ignore it.

When turned “on,” the V-chip software reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the V-Chip software the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes (Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.). If you have blocked the rating or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message, “Program exceeds the TV rating limit you set,” when you turn to that particular channel. Broadcasters are not required to provide ratings. However, you can block out programs that have been given a rating of “Not Rated,” and programs that are considered “unrated” because no code has been sent by the broadcaster.

The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block are listed in the table below.

Age-Based

Rating

TV-MA Mature Audience Only. Specifically designed to be viewed by adults and may be unsuitable for children under

17. It contains one or more of the following content themes: crude indecent language (L), explicit sexual

activity (S), or graphic violence (V).

TV-14 Parents Strongly Cautioned. Contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable for children

under 14. Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this program and are cautioned against letting children under the age of 14 watch unattended. This program contains one or more of the following content themes: intensely suggestive dialogue (D), strong coarse language (L), intense sexual

situations (S), or intense violence (V).

TV-PG Parental Guidance Suggested. Contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. Many

parents may want to watch it with their younger children. The program contains one or more of the following content themes: some suggestive dialogue (D), infrequent coarse language (L), some sexual situations (S), or

moderate violence (V).

TV-G General Audience. Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages. It contains little or no sexual

dialogue (D), no strong language (L) or sexual situations (S), and little or no violence (V).

TV-Y7 Directed to Children 7 years and older. Designed for children ages 7 and above. It may be more appropriate

for children who have acquired the developmental skills needed to distinguish between make-believe and reality. Themes and elements in this program may include mild fantasy violence (FV) or comedic violence, or may frighten children under the age of 7.

Description and Content Themes for Age-Based Ratings

TV-Y All Children. Themes and elements in this program are designed for a young audience, including children

from ages 2-6. It is not expected to frighten younger children.

BLOCKING AGE-BASED RATINGS

You can automatically block all program ratings above a specified age-based rating level. For example, if you only want your child to watch programs that have a TV-G rating and lower (in other words, you want the child to watch only TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y programs), then you need to block other programming with higher ratings.

To block programs with higher ratings:

1. First, determine the lowest level rating you do not want the child to watch.

2. Highlight the rating status button that corresponds with the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch. (In the example above, you would point to the rating status button corresponding to TV-PG, since the highest rating you want her to watch is TV-G.)

3. Press OK to change the button from View to Block. The status for this and all higher ratings automatically change to Block (and B).

Blocking Specific Content Themes

You can block programs based on their content. (Content is represented by the D, L, S, V, and FV on your screen. See “Setting the TV Rating” for details.) When you block a content theme for a particular rating, you automatically block that content theme for higher rated programs as well.

For example, if you do not want your child to watch programs that have adult language (L) rated TV-PG or higher, you need to block adult language in all programming rated TV-PG and above.

To block program content:

1. Determine the lowest level of content you do not want the child to watch.

2. Highlight the content button that corresponds with the lowest content you do not want the child to watch. (In the example above, you would highlight the V button located under the L and to the right of TV-PG.)

The Signal Source menu allows you to choose the source from which you would like the signal to come: Antenna A, Antenna B, or DIRECTV (SAT) or Video Inputs. The same can be accomplished using the ANTENNA, TV/SAT, and TV/VIDEO buttons on your remote control. If you misplace your remote control, use the front panel buttons to access this menu and change the signal source.

To access the Signal Source menu:

1. Press MENU on the remote control to access the main menu.

2. Select System Options from the main menu.

3. Select Signal Source from the next menu.

CHANGING THE SIGNAL TYPE

The Signal Type menu lets you choose whether you are receiving a signal from cable TV or an off-air antenna. When you run Channel Search (see “Channel Search” in this section for details), the TV automatically detects your signal and you don’t have to specify it here. However, if you decide to change the source, you will need to use the Signal Type menu. Note that if your signal source is coming from DIRECTV, this menu will not be available.

The Video Inputs selection is only for “Video 1” source.

To select other signal sources, use the TV/VIDEO button on the remote control.

CHANNEL SEARCH

Engaging in a channel search tells the TV to search automatically for all the TV channels available through the Antenna A and B inputs. When the TV finds an active channel, it places it in the channel list. Inactive channels (weak stations or channels with no signal at all) will not be placed into the channel list.

• Full Search searching through all the TV channels (off-air and Cable) for both

antenna inputs (ANTENNA A and B).

• Quick Search searching through the off-air or Cable channels of the current

Channel Search

Use Full Search the first time that your system is setup. A Channel Search will be performed for both Antenna A and B and they will automatically be set to Cable or Air.

Thereafter, use Quick Search. It only searches the current antenna. Quick Search is useful for adjusting an over-the-air antenna to receive the most channels for your area.

Full Search Quick Search

You can edit the channel list and remove unwanted channels by using the Profiles menu.

Please note that because channel search will search for both digital and analog TV channels on all antenna inputs, the process may take a few minutes.

MAILBOX

If you have ordered DIRECTV® programming, the mailbox shows you messages that are sent—or “mailed”—from your program providers. For example, you may receive a message calling your attention to a new service or special program offering. If you have new or unread mail, the mail icon in the channel banner is highlighted.

PURCHASES: PAY PER VIEW PROGRAMS

Pay per view programs (PPV) are DIRECTV® programming that you purchase—like a movie ticket—on an event-by-event basis if you subscribe to DIRECTV® programming. Pay per view programs are labeled “PPV” in the DIRECTV® programming guide. A channel labeled PPV could run nothing but previews for movies. After previewing the movie, you can purchase it or find out more details about it.

Purchasing and Previewing

There are several ways to purchase and preview DIRECTV pay per view movies and events if you subscribe to DIRECTV® programming:

•Tune to a pay per view program’s channel. Program providers may offer on-screen purchase instructions, usually as the pay per view program begins.

•Highlight a pay per view program from the program guide and press INFO.

•Preview a coming attraction by selecting a channel from the Attractions Guide.

Tuning to a Pay Per View Program

When you use the channel up and down buttons or digits on the remote control to tune to a pay per view channel, you need to press the INFO button to bring up the Program Details screen in order to purchase a program.

While the maximum signal strength is 100, the signal strength you achieve will probably be less. Although there is no difference in picture quality between signal strengths of 60 and 85, the higher the signal, the less likely you are to experience negative effects in degraded conditions such as rain or snow (called “rain fade”).

TROUBLESHOOTING

Can’t select certain channel

• Channel may be blocked or not approved in the Profiles menu.

•If using a VCR, check to make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct “mode.”

• The searching for available channels portion of the interactive setup (page 19, step 3) was not completed.

Noisy stereo reception

•May be a weak station. Change to mono mode instead of stereo in the Audio menu under Audio Precessor.

No picture, no sound but TV is on

•Maybe a vacant channel is tuned.

•If watching VCR (connected only through antenna input), make sure TV is tuned to channel 3 or 4 – same as CH3/4 switch on VCR. Also check to make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct “mode.”

Sound okay, picture poor

• Check antenna connections and antenna direction and also check for interfering sources.

•Try adjusting the picture quality, especially sharpness, to improve weak signals.

Black box appears on the screen

• Captioning may be turned on. Check the Caption Display in the Preferences menu.

Wrong picture

The TV and most VCRs let you toggle between pictures: one can be the picture from DIRECTV signal or an off-air antenna (or cable) and one can be from the VCR. If you don’t see the picture you think you should be seeing, try using these buttons to toggle between the pictures:

•Press the TV/VCR button on the VCR remote or on the VCR’s front panel.

•Press the ANTENNA button on the remote control.

Taking either of these actions lets you switch the source of the video signal from DIRECTV to the off-air antenna or cable, and vice versa.

Problems with the remote control

•Maybe something is between the remote control and the remote sensor on the front of the TV.

•Maybe the remote control is not in the correct mode. Push the component switch on the remote to the appropriate position (TV/DVD/VCR/CABLE).

•Maybe the batteries in the remote control are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try replacing batteries. (Note, if you remove the batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to control other components.)

•Some functions do not operate when menu is displayed. Wait for menu to time out.

Temporary loss of reception

Software Upgrades – Your digital satellite receiver is able to receive upgrades or modifications to some of its features and

functions. These modifications will occur automatically (usually at times when most viewers are not watching programming). When an upgrade or modification is sent, you may experience a disruption in reception for a few minutes. Your reception should return to normal after the modification is complete. Your receiver must be plugged in to receive upgrades. Do not unplug your receiver while an upgrade is in progress. Please consult the Upgrade menu to find a schedule of upgrades or modifications planned by DIRECTV.

Blank screen

•Maybe the component (VCR, DVD, etc.) connected to the input jacks is not turned on.

•Try another channel, because there may just not be any programming on at that time.

• Cables in back may be disconnected.

TV will not turn on

• Check to make sure it is plugged in, and try the front panel POWER button.

• Check the wall receptacle (and extension cord, if applicable) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in something else.

•Maybe batteries in remote control are “dead.” To test, see if the LED lights up when you press a button.

•Maybe remote control is not aimed at remote sensor.

TV turns off while playing

•Electronic protection circuit may have been activated because of a power surge. Wait 30 seconds and then turn on again. If this happens frequently, the voltage in your house may be abnormally high or low.

Problems with your system password

•If you forget your system password and subscribe to DIRECTV® programming, you should call DIRECTV to obtain a new one.

Audio recording problems

• When changes are made to the Audio profile settings, the AUDIO output is temporarily muted. Do not change Audio profile settings while recording.

System Lock-up

•If the system locks up, press the RESET button on the front panel of the TV.

CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION: Turn OFF your TV before cleaning.

You can clean the TV as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.

The TV’s screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen. If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water.

Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will damage the TV.

While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the TV. Also, avoid placing drinks, vases, or potted plants with water on top of the TV. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the TV.

to find the nearest TOSHIBA Authorized Service Station.

(2) Please present your bill of sale or other proof to the Authorized Service Station. “Authorized

TACP/THI service station personnel will come to your home when warranty service is required. Depending on the type of repair required, the service will either be performed in your home or the set will be taken to the TACP/THI Authorized service station for repair and returned to your home at no cost to you.”

All warranties implied by state law, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are expressly limited to the duration of the limited warranties set forth above. With the exception of any warranties implied by state law as hereby limited, the foregoing warranty is exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties, guarantees, agreements and similar obligations of manufacturer or seller with respect to the repair or replacement of any parts. In no event shall TACP or THI be liable for consequential or incidental damages.

No person, agent, distributor, dealer or company is authorized to change, modify or extend the terms of these warranties in any manner whatsoever. The time within which action must be commenced to enforce any obligation of TACP or THI arising under this warranty or under any state, or law of the United States or any state thereof, is hereby limited to 90 days from the date you discover or should have discovered, the defect. This limitation does not apply to implied warranties arising under state law.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which may vary from state to state. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, when an action may be brought, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above provisions may not apply to you.

FCC REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Your HDTV is registered with the Federal Communications Commission and is in compliance with parts 15B and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.

1. Notification to the Local Telephone Company.

On the back of this equipment is a label indicating among other information, the FCC Registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.

The REN is useful to determine the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all these devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.

Note: This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore you may not be able to use your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local telephone company. Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of your equipment from your line.

2. Rights of the Telephone Company.

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance, (2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation, and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.

The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment or operations of procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
