Chapter 1: Introduction

Overview of steps for installing, setting up, and using your new TV

Follow these steps to set up your TV and begin using its many exciting features.

1.Carefully read the important safety, installation, care, and service information on pages 2–4. Keep this manual for future reference.

2.Do not plug in any power cords until AFTER you have connected all cables and devices to your TV.

3.If you need to split your TV into two sections during moving or installation, read the “Important Safety Precautions for Split Cabinet Feature” on page 5.

4.Consider the following when selecting a location for your TV:

•Place the TV on the floor only.

•Place the TV in a location where light does not reflect on the screen.

•Place the TV far enough from walls and other objects to allow proper ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which will damage the TV. THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TOSHIBA WARRANTY BECAUSE IT IS A RESULT OF MISUSE.

•Read “Installation” on pages 3–4.

5.Remove the demo pin from the G-LINK jack on the back of the TV (see illustration below).
