Important notes about your Plasma TV
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.
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.
FCC Declaration of Conformity Compliance Statement (Part 15):
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 94).
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.
About the Sticking Image Protection feature
This TV contains a Sticking Image Protection feature that
automatically starts to decrease the picture brightness in
small increments when a fixed (non-moving) image is
displayed on-screen for an extended period of time. This
feature helps to reduce and delay the potential for phosphor
burn-in. The time delay and rate of decreasing picture
brightness depend on the brightness of the displayed image.
