Introduction Precautions Choosing a location for your LCD TV ■ To Display your LCD TV on the included Pedestal Stand: Observe the following safety precautions: 1) Place the TV on a sturdy, level surface that can support the weight of the TV. 2) Be sure to secure the TV to a wall, pillar, surface, or other immovable structure. To secure the TV in this manner, use the included strap located at the rear of pedestal stand. (see item 19, page 4). 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 after image (ghost) may appear on the screen if a fixed, non-moving image is displayed for a long period of time. The after image 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. ■ When shipping the unit, the original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For fully protection, 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. 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. 6 Notes on moisture condensation Moisture condensation damages the unit.

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. Connect the power cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, remove the disc, and leave it for two or three hours.
