31)
32)
[This item applies to projection TVs only.] 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.
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.
During normal use, the TV may make _, _
occasional snapping or popping . _ _-'_-')
sounds. This is normal, especially °_(_¢ _._,_
when the unit is being turned on or "_'_'111|c_o_,)l
off. If these sounds become frequen[ -_, ,-_-_
or continuous, unplug the power cord _'
and contact a Toshiba Authorized Service Center.
Possible Adverse Effects on TV Picture Tube: If a fixed
(non-moving) pattern remains on the TV screen for long
periods of time, the image can become permanently
engrained in the picture tube and cause subtle but
permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT
COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your TV
on for long periods of time while it is displaying the
following formats or images:
° Fixed Images, such as PIP/POP windows, stock tickers,
video game patterns, TV station Iogos, and websites.
