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

W If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your home. Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV.

W 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.

W 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.

Cares!

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.

Into Safety

size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate enough to support the weight of

your TV (and other electronic components).

W Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure your furniture to the wall (but never screw anything directly into the TV).

W Carefully read and understand the other enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.

W Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture and TVs.

W Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR, remote control, or toy) that a curious child may reach for.

W Remember that children can become excited while watching a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over.

W Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of the home with your family and friends. Thank you!

Care

For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA TV, follow these recommendations and precautions:

29)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.

30)Always unplug the TV before cleaning. Never use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Clean only with a dry cloth.

Do not spray volatile compounds such as insecticide on the cabinet. This may cause a discoloration or damage of the cabinet.

31)WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind into the TV cabinet slots.

32)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.

Care (cont. from previous column)

33)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.

34) 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.

Important notes about your DLPTM projection TV

1)The light source for this TV is a projection lamp unit with a limited service life. When the lamp wears out, the picture may become dark or black, or the lamp may fail, at which time you must replace the lamp unit. See “Lamp unit replacement” on pages 50-52.

2)Each time you turn on the TV, it may take up to several seconds to go from no picture to full picture brightness.

3)The display on this TV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology; however, an occasional pixel (dot of light) may show constantly on the screen. This is a structural property of micro-display projection TV technology, and is not a sign of malfunction. Such pixels are not visible when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing distance (see item 29 on page 4).

4)Depending on the media you are viewing, it is possible, although unlikely, that a limited number of viewers may see a “rainbow effect” on the screen, which can, in rare instances, result in eye fatigue. This is a rare occurrence related to technology of this type, and is not a sign of TV malfunction.

5)Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and as directly in front of it as possible. The picture quality may be affected by your viewing position and length of viewing time. If you sit too closely to the TV for too long, you may suffer from eye fatigue. See item 29 on page 4.

6)This TV contains several cooling fans to moderate

the internal temperature. You may be able to hear the fans noise during or after operation.

7)Always place the back of the television at least one (1) inch away from any vertical surface (such as a wall) to allow proper ventilation.

8)Review all safety and operating information in this owner’s manual before you use your TV.

9)Interactive video games that involve shooting a “gun” type of joystick at an on-screen target may not work on this TV.

Home Theater: Speaker Layout

This is a typical speaker layout. Any number of other speaker setups are possible, and some changes may be needed to maximize your sound. However, a Dolby Digital Receiver is required to hear 5.1 channel audio.

	Left and right speakers on each
	side of the TV enhance separation.
	The TV's sound optional hookup
	“center mode in,” makes the dialog
	sound as though it’s coming directly
	from the TV. The rear surround
	sound speakers provide
	the majority of other sounds, like	left	right
	those from special effects in movies.
		speaker	speaker
	Your sub-woofer generates ultra-low		sub-woofer
	frequency sound, for rumbling
	low-end audio.
		surround	surround
		sound	sound
		speaker	speaker

WSound is affected by speaker placement, so make sure nothing is in front of the speakers, and that they are aimed in appropriate directions.

WYou have the option of turning the TV speakers on or off.
