13.LIGHTNING

To protect your unit during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power line surges.

14.POWER LINES

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

15.OVERLOADING

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

16.OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

Do not push objects through any openings in this unit as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.

17.OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna dis- charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

18.SERVICING

Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

19.DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE

Unplug this unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a.When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

b.If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.

c.If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

d.If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to its normal operation.

e.If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

f.When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.

20.REPLACEMENT PARTS

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manu- facturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

21.SAFETY CHECK

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.

22.HEAT

The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

23.NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

27A41 specifications

The Toshiba 27A41 is a 27-inch CRT television that represents a blend of classic television design and reliable performance. While CRT technology has largely been superseded by newer flat-panel displays, the 27A41 has carved its place in the hearts of vintage TV enthusiasts and collectors due to its sturdy construction and dependable picture quality.

One of the main features of the Toshiba 27A41 is its high-quality image display. The TV utilizes a standard-definition CRT screen that delivers solid color reproduction and contrast, making it suitable for watching a range of content from old movies to modern TV shows. The screen's generous size allows for a satisfying viewing experience, especially in smaller living rooms or bedrooms.

In terms of design, the Toshiba 27A41 boasts a classic boxy aesthetic, typical of CRT televisions from its era. The cabinet is finished in a sleek black, which adds a touch of elegance, while the curved screen provides a retro appeal that many find charming. The set also features manual controls located at the front, offering an easy way to adjust settings without needing a remote.

The television comes equipped with multiple input options, which include standard composite video and audio inputs. This versatility allows users to connect various devices, such as DVD players, gaming consoles, or VHS players, broadening the scope of content that can be enjoyed on the screen.

The Toshiba 27A41 also incorporates several sound enhancement technologies. It features built-in stereo speakers that deliver decent audio quality, enhancing the overall viewing experience. While it may not rival the sound systems of modern televisions, it offers clarity and presence for standard television audio.

Energy consumption is another key characteristic of the Toshiba 27A41. As a CRT model, it tends to consume more power compared to its LCD or plasma counterparts; however, its durability often compensates for this, as CRTs are less prone to issues like burn-in or image retention.

In conclusion, the Toshiba 27A41 represents a nostalgic piece of technology that continues to attract attention for its solid performance, versatility, and classic design. For those who appreciate the charm of vintage televisions, the Toshiba 27A41 remains a beloved choice for a reliable viewing experience.
