1) The light source for this TV is a projection lamp unit with a 

limited service life. When the lamp wears out, the picture 
may become dark or black or the lamp may fail, at which time 
you must replace the lamp unit (- “Lamp unit replacement 
and care” on pages 81–83).

2) When the lamp mode is set to Low Power, every time the 

TV is powered on, the lamp will initially be in High Bright 
mode but will switch to Low Power mode after a short 
period of time. You may notice a change in screen brightness 
when this happens. This is normal and is not a sign of 
malfunction (- page 55 for details).

3) Every time the TV is powered on, it may take several minutes 

for the picture to obtain full brightness (- “IMPORTANT 
NOTICE ABOUT HOT LAMP RESTART,” at right).

4) The TV’s display is manufactured using an extremely high 

level of precision technology; however, an occasional pixel 
(dot of light) may show constantly on the screen. This is a 
structural property of DLP

™

 (Digital Light Processing

™

) 

technology and is not a sign of malfunction. Such pixels are 
not visible when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing 
distance.

5) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and 

as directly in front of it as possible. The picture quality may 
be affected by your viewing position and length of viewing 
time. If you sit too closely to the TV for too long, you may 
suffer from eye fatigue. See item 29 under “Care” on page 4 
of the separate Installation Guide.

6) Depending on the media you are viewing, it is possible, 

although unlikely, that a limited number of viewers may see 
a “rainbow effect” on the screen, which can, in rare instances, 
result in eye fatigue. This is a rare occurrence related to DLP 
technology and is not a sign of TV malfunction.

7)

This TV contains several cooling fans to moderate 
the internal temperature. You may be able to hear 
the fans for several minutes after the TV is turned 
off. This is a function of the Quick Restart

™

 

feature and is not a sign of TV malfunction. You can set 
the Quick Restart

™

 feature to stop the fans as soon as the TV 

is powered off. See “Setting the Quick Restart

™

 feature” (- 

page 30).

8) The yellow and blue LED lights at the bottom center of the 

TV front indicate your TV’s current status. If either light 
flashes, see “LED indications” (- page 80).

9) Every time the TV power cord is plugged in, the yellow LED 

will blink until the TV enters standby mode (plugged in but 
not powered on). This is normal and is not a sign of 
malfunction.

CAUTION: This television is for use only with 
the Toshiba stand indicated below. Use with other 
carts or stands is capable of resulting in 
instability, causing possible injury.

When certain non-standard conditions occur, the LEDs 
on the TV will blink and the TV will play a recorded 
“voice announcement” describing the condition (see the 
LED indication table on page 80 for the specific conditions 
that include a voice announcement).
To repeat the voice announcement and hear additional 
information, press the MENU button on the TV while the 
LEDs are blinking.

When the TV has been powered on long enough for the lamp 
unit to get hot, it may take several minutes for the picture to 
appear in the following situations:

• When the Quick Restart

™

 feature is set to OFF and 

you turn the TV off and then on again within a few 
minutes; or

• If the TV is on when a short-term power failure, power 

surge, or other similar power failure occurs, such that 
the TV loses and regains power within a few minutes.

of malfunction.
If this occurs, the yellow LED on the TV front panel will blink 
(and the blue LED will be lit solid) until the TV is finished 
restarting the lamp and the normal picture appears. If both 
LEDs are blinking, you will need to turn the TV off and then 
on again to restart the lamp.
