Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
FCC Declaration of Conformity Compliance Statement (Part 15):
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
removing and applying power to the equipment, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and the
receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this equipment not
expressly approved by Toshiba could void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment.
The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction, but
rather technical limitations of plasma TV technology.
1) The display of this Plasma TV radiates infrared rays. It may
affect other infrared communication equipment under
certain operating conditions.
2) Under certain conditions, the display of this Plasma TV
may cause interference with the audio and/or video of
certain types of electronic equipment that easily receive
electromagnetic waves (e.g., AM radios and video
equipment.) In particular, the display of this Plasma TV may
affect certain types of electronic equipment that are
located beyond the area where the Plasma TV is being
used.
3) The display panel of this Plasma TV is manufactured using
an extremely high level of precision technology; however,
occasionally some parts of the screen may be missing
picture elements and/or have luminous spots.
4) You can enjoy playing video games on this Plasma TV;
however, certain video games that utilize so-called “light
gun” joysticks for shooting at on-screen targets may not
work with this Plasma TV.
Important notes about your Plasma TV
5) Possible Adverse Effects on Plasma Display: Like all
phosphor-based display devices and all gas-based plasma
displays, the display of this Plasma TV may be susceptible
to permanent ghost images (also known as phosphor
burn-in) under certain circumstances. Certain operating
conditions may accelerate the potential for phosphor burn-
in, including but not limited to the following:
• Displaying fixed (non-moving) images, including but
not limited to PIP/POP windows, closed captions, video
game patterns, TV station logos, stock tickers, and
websites.
• Displaying special formats that do not use the entire
screen, including but not limited to widescreen or
letterbox format media viewed on a 4:3 aspect ratio
display (with gray or black bars at the top and bottom of
the screen) and 4:3 aspect ratio format media viewed on
a widescreen/16:9 aspect ratio display (with gray or
black bars on the left and right sides of the screen.)
To minimize the potential for the occurrence of phosphor
burn-in, Toshiba recommends the following:
• Display a moving image on the display of your Plasma
TV whenever possible.
• Always turn off the power of your Plasma TV when you
are finished using it.
• Reduce the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as
possible without impairing image quality.
• Enable the Long Life settings (see page 38.)
• Try to display images that have many colors and color
gradations (i.e., photographic or photo-realistic images.)
• Try to display images that have minimal contrast
between light and dark areas (e.g., avoid white
characters on black backgrounds.)
• Try to avoid displaying images that have few colors and/
or that have distinct, sharply defined borders between
colors.
