Installation and important information

Where to install

Loca te the television away from direct s unlight and strong lights. Soft or indirect lighting is recommended for comfortable viewing. Use curtains or blinds to prevent direct sunlight falling on the screen.

Always place the TV on the floor or a sturdy level, stable surface that can support the weight of the unit. It must then be secured to a wall, pillar, or other immovable structure with a sturdy tie using the hooks on the rear of TV pedestal, or secured to the platform using a fixing strap located underneath the table top stand. Make sure the surface is wide enough so that the TV’s width and depth don’t exceed the surface’s edges. If not, the TV may lean or fall over and cause an injury.

Make sure the television is located in a position where it cannot be pushed or hit by objects, as pressure will break or damage the screen, and that small items cannot be inserted into slots or openings in the case.

Note: A Toshiba wall bracket or stand, where available, must be used. If a non Toshiba wall bracket or stand is used the products' BEAB approval will become void and the equipment is then used at the consumers own risk.

Important notes about your LCD TV

The following symptoms are technical limitations of LCD Display technology and are not an indication of malfunction. Therefore, Toshiba is not responsible for perceived defects resulting from these symptoms.

1. An afterimage (ghost) may appear on the screen if a fixed non-moving image is displayed for a long period of time. The afterimage is not permanent and will disappear in a short period of time.

2. The LCD panel contained in this TV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology; however, there may be an occasional pixel (dot of light) that does not operate properly (that does not light, that remains constantly lit, etc.). This is a structural property of LCD technology, is not a sign of malfunction, and is not covered under your warranty. Such pixels are not visible when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing distance.

Note: Interactive video games that involve shooting a "gun" type of joystick at an on-screen target may not work on this TV.

Cleaning the screen and the cabinet

After turning off the power, clean the screen and the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth. We recommend that you do not use any proprietary polishes or solvents on the screen or cabinet as this may cause damage.
