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.
