Care
(continued from previous column)
33) For added protection of your TV from lightning and power
surges, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the
antenna from the TV if you leave the TV unattended or unused
for long periods of time.
34) During normal use, the TV may make occasional snapping
or popping sounds. This is normal, especially when the unit
is being turned on or off. If these sounds become frequent
or continuous, unplug the power cord and contact a Toshiba
Authorized Service Center.
35) Special care for Texas Instruments Digital Light
Processing™ (DLP) lamp units:
• The lamp in this product has a limited service life. The length
of service life varies depending on product use or user
settings. If you use the lamp beyond its service life:
• you may notice a reduction in the colors and/or brightness
of the picture, at which time you should replace the lamp
unit; and
• the strength of the quartz glass in the lamp will be reduced
and the lamp may rupture. If the lamp ruptures, the TV will
not operate until the lamp unit is replaced.
See “Lamp unit replacement and care” on pages 32-33.
• Dispose of the used lamp unit by the approved method for
your area.
• The lamp unit contains mercury. Disposal of
mercury may be regulated due to environmental
considerations. For disposal or recycling
information, please contact your local authorities or
the Electronic Industries Alliance (www.eiae.org).

Authorized Service Center.
37) If you have the TV serviced:
• Ask the service technician to use only replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer.
• Upon completion of service, ask the service technician to
perform routine safety checks to determine that the TV is
insafe operating condition.
38) When the TV reaches the end of its useful life, ask a qualified
service technician to properly dispose of the TV.
Note: The lamp unit contains mercury. Disposal of mercury may be
regulated due to environmental considerations. Dispose of the used

Installation
(continued from previous page)
27) Always make sure the antenna system is properly grounded
to provide adequate protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges (see Section 810 of the National
Electric Code).
28) DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH!
• Use extreme care to make sure you are never in a position
where your body (or any item you are in contact with, such
as a ladder or screwdriver) can accidentally touch overhead
power lines. Never locate the antenna near overhead power
lines or other electrical circuits.
• Never attempt to install any of the following during lightning
activity: a) an antenna system; or b) cables, wires, or any
home theater component connected to an antenna or phone
system.
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 soft, dry cloth.
Do not spray volatile compounds, such as insecticide, on the
cabinet. This may discolor or damage the cabinet.
31)
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.
