Introduction Welcome to Toshiba • Thank you for purchasing this Toshiba LCD Colour Television. This manual will help you use the exciting features of your new TV. • Instructions in this manual are based on using the remote control. • You also can use the controls on the TV if they have the same name as those referred to on the remote control. • Please read all safety and operating instructions in this manual carefully, and keep this manual for future reference.
Introduction 4) Never block or cover the slots and openings in the cabinet. • Never place the TV so that it is facing upward or on its side. • Never place the TV in a closet, bookcase or other similar area where the ventilation is poor. • Never drape a newspaper, tablecloth or curtain on the TV. • Never stand the TV on cloth or other material placed between the TV and supporting furniture. • When installing the TV against a wall, always keep the TV at least 10 cm away from the wall.
Introduction 10) Precautions for installing on outdoor aerial An outside aerial system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, or other electric light or power circuits. If the aerial falls down or drops, it may cause an injury or an electric shock. 3) Never insert objects (metal or paper) or pour water inside the TV through ventilation holes and other openings. These items may cause a fire or an electric shock.
Introduction 6) Never pull on the power cord when removing the plug from the wall outlet. Always hold the plug firmly when removing it. If the power cord is yanked, the cord may become damaged and a fire or an electric shock may occur. 7) Never cut, break, modify, twist, bunch up or bent the cord or apply excessive force or tension to it. Never place heavy objects on the cord or allow it to overheat as this may cause damage, a fire or an electric shock.
Introduction Cleaning 1) Remove the power plug before cleaning. Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the TV. • These solvents may distort the cabinet or damage its finish. • If rubber or vinyl products remain in contact with the TV for a long time, a stain may result. If the cabinet becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. When cleaning the surface of the LCD display, wipe the panel surface gently with a soft, dry cloth.
