sunlight or room lights reflect on the screen. Turn the TV
off to check for reflections on the screen, and then remove
the source of reflections while viewing the TV.
28) Always unplug the TV before

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind
into the TV cabinet slots.
30) [This item applies to projection TVs only.] If the air
temperature rises suddenly (for example, when the TV is
first delivered), condensation may form on the lenses. This
can make the picture appear distorted or the color appear
faded. If this happens, turn off the TV for 6 to 7 hours to
allow the condensation to evaporate.

Important Safety Precautions for Split Cabinet Feature
CModels 57HX83 and 65HX83 only)
Toshiba TV models 57HX83 and 65HX83 have a split
cabinet feature that allows disassembly of the cabinet into
two sections during installation.
Fordetails, please refer to the insert titled "Disassembly/
Reassembly Instructions for Split Cabinet Feature" that
accompanied this owner's manual in the accessory pack.
If you do not have the insert, you can download a copy of
it from our Web site (,www.toshiba.com/tacp in the U.S.A.
or www.toshiba.ca in Canada). If you do not have access
to the Internet, call 1-800-631-3811 in the U.S.A. or 1-800-
268-3404 in Canada.
WARNING: If you split the cabinet for any
purpose, NEVER energize the bottom section
until it is completely and properly installed.
Energizing the disassembled bottom section and
subjecting it to intentional misuse (for example, exposing it to
a foreign object) creates the potential for an electrical shock
hazard that could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: If you use the split cabinet feature, ALWAYS
handle and treat the top section of the TV cabinet, which
contains a glass mirror, with great care. Ifsubjected to
excessive mechanical abuse (`forexample, if bumped or
dropped), the mirror may break, creating exposed glass
fragments with sharp edges. Contact with these glass
fragments may result in injury.
Installation, Care, and Service
CAUTION: The split cabinet feature (`models57HX83 and
65HX83 only) allows disassembly of the cabinet into two
sections during installation. If you use the split cabinet
feature, follow these precautions while the two sections of
the TV cabinet are disassembled:
1) Always handle and treat the top section of the TV cabinet
(with the viewing screen), which contains a glass mirror,
with great care. If subjected to excessive mechanical
abuse (for example, if bumped or dropped), the mirror
may break, creating exposed glass fragments with sharp
edges. Contact with these glass fragments may result in
injury.
2) Never temporarily locate the disassembled bottom section
in an area where it may be exposed to foreign objects or
abuse (for example, areas where children may be playing,
where items may fall on top of the unit, or where liquids
may spill into the unit). Failure to follow this instruction
may result in damage to the optic components of the TV.
SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE
TOSHIBA LIMITED WARRANTY.
3) Always keep the top and bottom sections of the TV
cabinet in an upright position while disassembled. Failure
to follow this instruction may result in damage to the TV,
including but not limited to the optic components, cabinet,
bezel, and glass mirror. SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT
COVERED UNDER THE TOSHIBA LIMITED WARRANTY.
4) Never energize the bottom section of the TV cabinet
while disassembled. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in death or serious injury.
5) Never place anything on top of the bottom section of the
TV cabinet. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
damage to the optic components. SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT
COVERED UNDER THE TOSHIBA LIMITED WARRANTY.
6) Never store or transport the unit while it is disassembled.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to
the TV, including but not limited to the optic components,
cabinet, bezel, and glass mirron SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT
COVERED UNDER THE TOSHIBA LIMITED WARRANTY.

Connecting devices to the TheaterLink TM
([IR pass-through} OUT jack
The TheaterLink 1R (infrared) pass-through feature allows yon to
remotely operate (through the TV) many infrared remote-controlled
devices (such as a Toshiba VCR or DVD player) enclosed within
an entertainment center or similar cabinet. Without the TheaterLink
connection, the device typically would need to be visible to operate it
remotely.
To connect, align the TheaterLink cable's infrared "eye" with the
device's remote sensor and attach it using double-sided mounting
tape. Plug the other end of the TheatcrLink cable into the TV's
TheaterLink OUT jack. You can connect up to two devices with the
TheaterLink cable included in the TV's original packaging.
You carl use the TV's remote control (programmed to operate
the device; see pages 18-24) or the device's remote control.
Repeatedly press MODE on the remote control to select the correct
mode for your device. Point the remote control at the front of the TV
and press the button for the desired function. The signal passes from
the remote control through the TV to the device via the TheaterLink
cable.
You will need:
• oneTheaterLink cable (included)
• double-sided mounting tape
