What are the precautions for installing my TV?
Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform. The mounting surface should be flat and steady. If you install the TV on a soft floor, make sure that the floor is not damaged by the weight of the TV.
This TV set may be used only with a specific Toshiba stand. Use with other stands may result in instability, causing possible injury.
Place the TV far enough away from the walls to allow proper ventilation. This will prevent the TV from overheating and avoid possible damage to the TV. Avoid dusty areas too.
What are the precautions for using my TV?
Do not stand or climb on the TV.
Do not put any heavy object on top of the TV.
Do not place containers with liquids such as drinks, aquariums, or lighted candles on the TV. If any foreign material or water leaks into the TV, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer.
Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for extended periods of time. Stationary patterns (such as those generated by computer displays, video games, or stock market reports) can become permanently engrained on the picture tube. This damage is not protected by your warranty because it is the result of misuse. If you wish to use your TV to display still images, reduce brightness and contrast settings. Never leave a computer or video game display unattended.
How do I clean my TV?
To clean the TV screen:
1. Unplug the TV from the power outlet to avoid possible shock hazard.
2. Use a clean, dry cellulose sponge or chamois cloth to clean the TV screen and trim. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaning agents. Liquid spilling into the TV cabinet may cause electric shock or damage the TV.
CAUTION: Never use strong solvents such as thinner, benzene, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they can damage the finish of the cabinet.
What should I know about the polarized plug?
The plug has one prong wider than the other and will fit only one way into a standard electrical outlet (120 volt AC, 60 Hz). If the plug does not fit into the outlet, try turning it around. If the plug still does not fit, the outlet is probably non-standard and must be replaced by a qualified electrician. Do not tamper with the plug or try to force it into a non-standard outlet.
Where should I locate my TV for the best viewing experience?
Place the TV either on the floor or on the recommended TV stand.
Place the TV in a location where light does not directly hit the screen.
Place the TV far enough from the walls to allow proper ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which may damage the TV.
What TV stand should I use for my TV?
WARNING: RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH! Use your TV with the Toshiba TV stand recommended below only! Use with other stands may result in instability, causing possible injury or death.
| TV Model | TV Stand |
|---|---|
| 32A41 | ST3240 |
| 36A41 | ST3641 |
What should I know about picture quality when connecting video equipment?
When connecting video equipment, such as a VCR or DVD player:
For GOOD picture quality: Use regular video cables.
For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has S-video connections, use S-video cables instead of regular video cables.

Note: Do not connect an S-video cable and a regular video cable to VIDEO-1 (on the TV) at the same time. Doing so will distort the picture.
