Important notes about your 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 issues resulting from these symptoms.

1) An afterimage (ghost) may appear on the screen
if a xed, non-moving image appears 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 (does not light, 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 with this TV.

Using 3D functions

Health precautions:

❖Due to the possible impact on vision development, viewers of 3D

programming should be age 6 or above. Children may be more
susceptible to health effects from viewing 3D images and should be
closely supervised.

❖Some viewers may experience a seizure or blackout when exposed

to certain flashing images or lights contained in certain 3D television
pictures or video games. Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of
awareness, or other symptoms linked to an epileptic condition, or
has a family history of epilepsy, should contact a health care provider
before using the 3D function.

Handling the 3D glasses:

❖When cleaning the 3D glasses, gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth.
❖First, remove any dirt or dust from the 3D Glasses.
❖Harsh rubbing or use of a dirty or coarse cloth will scratch the 3D

Glasses. Do not use benzene, paint thinner, alcohol, water, or abrasive
cleaners, which may damage the 3D glasses.

❖When not using the 3D glasses, store them away from high

temperatures and humidity.

❖Do not store the 3D glasses in areas of extreme heat or cold, as

deformation can occur. If deformation occurs, replace the 3D glasses.

❖The lenses of the 3D glasses are different from those of ordinary

glasses, and are very thin. Be very careful in handling the 3D glasses

as the lens can pop out easily.

❖Do not put excessive force on the lenses.
❖Do not scratch the surface of the lenses with sharp objects.
❖Do not drop or bend the 3D glasses.
❖Do not use benzene, paint thinner, alcohol, water, or abrasive cleaners,

which may damage the 3D glasses.

❖The 3D glasses are not subject to repair. If the glasses are broken or

scratched, purchase a new pair of 3D glasses.

❖The 3D glasses are not subject to repair, but can be replaced if a

problem occurs due to an initial fault with the glasses.

❖Be careful not to pinch your fingers in the hinge of the 3D glasses.

NOTE

Watching the TV:

❖Proper 3D effects or 3D-to-2D conversion results may not be obtained

depending on the received 3D content.

❖3D effect and image quality may vary depending upon content quality

and display device capability/ functionality/settings.

❖Wear the 3D glasses properly, otherwise you may not see the correct

3D images.

❖When not viewing 3D images, take off the 3D glasses; otherwise, it

may be difficult to see the display on other products such as your

computer, digital clock, or calculator, etc.

❖Use the 3D glasses at the proper viewing angle and distance, see

“Safety Precautions for 3D glasses” on page 7.

Use a high-speed HDMI™ cable when you connect a device such as a 3D

compatible Blu-ray Disc™ player or computer to the TV. When you use a
standard HDMI™ cable, 3D images may not display correctly.

Some functions cannot be shown in 3D mode.

Viewing 3D images

Incoming video signals can either be in 2D or 3D format. A 2D signal
can be viewed in either 2D or 3D, and 3D can be viewed in either 2D or
3D. If the TV can detect the fact that a signal is 3D, it can change to 3D
mode automatically – see “Setting the auto start mode” on page 81.
Otherwise you can change the viewing mode using the 3D button. Finally,
the format of the 3D signal can be either Side by Side (SBS) or Top and
Bottom (TAB). You may have to choose the correct format if the TV can
not detect it automatically – see “Switching display mode or selecting 3D
format”, below.

Moreover, you can change 2D images to 3D images by pressing the 3D
button when viewing in 2D.

NOTE

In order to switch to 3D, the TV must be receiving a 3D signal.

❖

❖If appropriate mode and format are not selected, 3D image will not be

correctly displayed.

❖If the appropriate 3D mode and format are not selected, the 3D image

will not display correctly.

❖There are individual differences in perception of 3D images.
