Toshiba L64 Digital LED Television

Installation and important information

Where to install

Locate the television away from direct sunlight and strong lights. Soft, indirect lighting is recommended for comfortable viewing. Use curtains or blinds to prevent direct sunlight from falling on the screen.

Place the TV on a stable, level surface that can support the weight of the TV. In order to prevent injury and maintain stability of this apparatus, it is recommended to secure the TV using the fixings on the stand strap or “P” clips. The LCD panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology; however, sometimes some parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots. This is not a sign of a malfunction.

Make sure the television is located in a position where it cannot be pushed or hit by objects, as pressure will break or damage the screen. Also, please be certain that small items cannot be inserted into slots or openings in the case.

 Avoid using chemicals (such as air refreshers, cleaning agents, etc.) on or near the TV pedestal. Studies indicate that plastics may weaken and crack over time from the combination effects of chemical agents and mechanical stress (such as the weight of a TV). Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury and/or permanent damage to the TV and the TV pedestal.

When using a Wall Bracket

Use a wall bracket appropriate for the size and weight of the LCD TV.

• Two people are required for installation.
• Install a wall-mount from another manufacturer.

1. Unplug and remove any cables and/or other component connectors from the rear of the TV.
2. Carefully lay the front of the unit face down on a flat, cushioned surface such as a quilt or blanket.
3. Follow the instructions provided with your wall bracket.
   Before proceeding, make sure the appropriate bracket(s) are attached to the wall and the back of the TV as described in the instructions provided with the wall bracket.
4. Always use the screws supplied or recommended by the wall mount manufacturer.

Removing the Pedestal Stand

1. Carefully lay the front of the unit face down on a flat, cushioned surface such as a quilt or blanket. Leave the stand protruding over the edge of the surface.
   NOTE: Extreme care should always be used when removing the pedestal stand to avoid damage to the LCD panel.
2. Remove the cover and screws.
3. Once you have removed all screws holding the pedestal stand in place, remove the pedestal stand from the TV by sliding the pedestal stand away from the TV.

When using MHL (Mobile High-definition Link)

• Interoperability with MHL devices of other manufacturers is not guaranteed.
• Toshiba does not provide any guarantee, therefore, against operational failure, such as that described below, when an MHL source is connected to the TV.
  • No picture or sound
  • Some of the functions do not work by remote operation from the TV
• If the MHL does not work properly, also contact the manufacturer of the source device for advice on its use.

Please take note

The digital reception function of this television is only effective in the countries listed in the “Country” section of the “Installation” menu. Depending on the country/area, some of this television’s functions may not be available. Reception of future additional or modified services can not be guaranteed with this television.

If stationary images generated by 4:3 broadcasts, text services, channel identification logos, computer displays, video games, on-screen menus, etc., are left on the television screen for any length of time, they could become conspicuous. It is always advisable to reduce both the brightness and contrast settings.

Very long, continuous use of the 4:3 picture on a 16:9 screen may result in some retention of the image at the 4:3 outlines. This is not a defect of the LCD TV and is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. Regular use of other size modes (e.g. Super Live) will prevent permanent retention.
