Precautions

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, nonmoving 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 (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 on this TV.

Notes on handling

Do not subject the LCD panel to physical shock, such as dropping it. It may cause unit damage and malfunction.

Retain the original shipping carton and packing materials. For maximum protection when shipping, repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for prolonged periods of time. Doing so will leave marks on the finish.

The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.

When the unit is not in use, always remove the disc and turn off the power.

If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the unit occasionally.

Notes on locating the unit

When you place this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

To avoid damage to this product, never place or store the TV/DVD in direct sunlight; hot, humid areas; or areas subject to excessive dust or vibration.

Always place the TV/DVD on the floor or a sturdy, level stable surface that can support the weight of the unit. Use a sturdy tie between the TV/DVD's rear hooks and the rear wall, pillar, etc., or screw the TV to the stand using the TV’s rear screw hole or a safety band (see illustration).

Notes on moisture condensation

Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please read the following carefully.

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day and drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on this unit’s internal optical pick- up lens, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.

Moisture condensation may occur in the following situations:

When you move the unit from a cold area to a warm area.

When you use the unit in a room in which the heat was just turned on.

When you use the unit in an area where cold air from an air conditioner directly hits the unit.

When you use the unit in a humid area.

Never use the unit when moisture condensation may occur.

Using the unit when moisture condensation exists may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, and leave it for two or three hours. After two or three hours, the unit will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.
