HMX96_EN.book Page 1 Friday, April 28, 2006 12:03 PM Integrated High Definition DLPTM Projection Television HIGH-DEFINITION TELEVISION 50HMX96 56HMX96 IMPORTANT NOTE Before connecting, operating, or adjusting this product, carefully read the Important Safety, Installation, Care, and Service information in the separate Installation Guide. For an overview of steps for setting up your new TV, see page 7. Note: To display a High Definition picture, the TV must be receiving a High Definition signal (such as an over-the-air High Definition TV broadcast, a High Definition digital cable program, or a High Definition digital satellite program). For details, please contact your TV antenna installer, cable provider, or satellite provider. Note: If the TV is powered off and then quickly on again when the lamp unit is hot, it may take several minutes for the picture to appear on-screen. This is a property of DLPTM TV lamp technology and is NOT a sign of malfunction. For details, see "IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT HOT LAMP RESTART" on page 3. © 2006 TOSHIBA CORPORATION All Rights Reserved TOSHIBA AM E CONSUMER PR CA RI S, L.L.C. UCT OD O 140 0 1 FILE N o . A 9 Owner's Record The model number and serial number are on the back of your TV. Record these numbers in the spaces below.

Use with other carts or stands is capable of resulting in instability, causing possible injury. Television Stand Model 50HMX96 ST 5076 56HMX96 ST 5676 Important notes about your DLPTM projection TV 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 81­83). 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," on the next page). 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 DLPTM (Digital Light ProcessingTM) 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 10­25 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 RestartTM feature and is not a sign of TV malfunction. You can set the Quick RestartTM feature to stop the fans as soon as the TV is powered off. See "Setting the Quick RestartTM 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. FCC Declaration of Conformity Compliance Statement (Part 15): The Toshiba 50HMX96 and 56HMX96 Televisions comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules.

This is a property of DLPTM TV lamp technology and is NOT a sign 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.
