CHILD SAFETY:

It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat

Panel Display

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:

The Issue

• The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger flat panel displays are popular purchases. However, flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

• Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.

TOSHIBA Cares!

• The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.

Tune Into Safety

• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation and use of your flat panel display.

• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.

• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.

• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

• Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” flat panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

Wall Mounting: If you decide to wall mount your flat panel display, always:

• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).

• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.

• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about professional installation.

• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.

• A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Overview of cable types

Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell audio/ video devices. Before purchasing any cables, be sure of connector types required by your devices and the length of each cable.

Coaxial (F-type) cable

Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your antenna, cable TV service, and/or cable converter box to the

ANT/

CABLE

input on your TV.

Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)

HDMI™ cable (with HDMI Logo “ ”)

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use with devices with an HDMI output. An HDMI cable delivers digital audio and video in its native format. This cable carries both video and audio information; therefore, separate audio cables are not required for a complete HDMI device connection (  page 17 and page 19).

Note:

HDMI cable provides better picture performance than a standard (composite) video or S-video cable.

Optical audio cable

Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in sets of three, and are for use with video devices with analog audio and composite video output. These cables (and the related inputs on your TV) are typically color-coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio.

S-video cable

Optical audio cable is for connecting receivers with Dolby

Digital or PCM (pulse-code modulation) optical audio input to the TV’s

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

terminal (  page 18).

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable

S-video cable is for use with video devices with S-video output. Separate audio cables are required for a complete connection.

Note:

An S-video cable provides better picture performance than a composite video cable. If you connect an S-video cable, be sure to disconnect the standard (composite) video cable or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

Component video cables (red/green/blue)

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable is for connecting a PC to the TV’s

PC IN

terminal (  page 19).

About the connection illustrations

You can connect different types and brands of devices to your TV in several different configurations. The connection illustrations in this manual are representative of typical device connections only. The input/output terminals on your devices may differ from those illustrated herein. For details on connecting and using your specific devices, refer to each device’s owner’s manual.

Component video cables come in sets of three and are for use with video devices with component video output.

(ColorStream ® is Toshiba’s brand of component video.) These cables are typically color-coded red, green, and blue. Separate audio cables are required for a complete connection.

Note:

Component video cables provide better picture performance than a standard (composite) video or S-video cable.

Chapter 3: Using the remote control

Programming the remote control to control your other devices

Your Toshiba TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate most Toshiba devices. To program your TV remote control to operate a non-Toshiba device (or a Toshiba device that it is not preprogrammed to operate), follow the steps below. For details on using the remote control to operate the device, see page 22.

1�

In the remote control code table (  page 25), find the code for your device. If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you find one that works.

Set the MODE SELECT switch to the type of device you are programming the remote control to operate —

CABLE/SAT (for a cable converter box or satellite receiver), AUX 1 (for a VCR or TV/VCR combo), or

AUX 2 (for a DVD player or HTIB [home theater in a box]).

While holding down , press the Channel Number buttons to enter the 3-digit code for your device.

To test the code, turn on the device, point the remote control at it, and press . See notes below.

If the correct code was entered, the device will turn off.

If the device does not respond, repeat steps 1–4 using

• another code.

If the device does not respond to another code, you will need to use the remote control that came with the device.

Remember to set the MODE SELECT switch back to

“TV” to control the TV.

6�

For future reference, write down the code(s) you used:

DEVICE CODE DEVICE CODE

Note:

In addition to POWER, confirm that all necessary keys on the TV remote control operate your device. If some keys are not operational, repeat the device code setup using another code (if other codes are listed for your device). If, after trying all listed codes, the necessary keys do not operate your device, use the device’s original remote control.

Every time you change the batteries, you will need to reprogram the remote control.

• Some newer VCRs respond to either of two codes. These

VCRs have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.” If your VCR has this kind of switch and does not respond to the codes for your VCR brand, set the switch to the other position (“VCR1” or “VCR2”) and reprogram the remote control.

Chapter 3: Using the remote control

Remote control codes

In some cases you may not be able to operate your device with the TV remote control. Your other device may use a code that is not recognized by the

TV remote control. If this happens, use the device’s remote control.

Tint

and/or

Color

(  page 41).

Poor composite or S-video picture

• If the TV is connected to an external A/V device (e.g.,

DVD player, video game system, set-top box, etc.) try using a

ColorStream

or

HDMI

video connection instead.

Picture and sound are out of sync

• As with all products that contain a digital display, in rare instances, when viewing certain content (e.g.. television broadcasts, video games, DVDs), you may notice that the sound and picture are slightly out of sync. This phenomenon can be caused by various factors including, without limitation, video processing within the TV, video processing in an attached gaming system, and video processing or different compression rates used by broadcasters in their programming. You may want to try one or more of the following suggestions, which may help to reduce the effect of this phenomenon:

– If the TV is connected to an A/V receiver that has a

– programmable audio delay feature, use this feature to help synchronize the sound to the picture.

If you notice this phenomenon only on certain TV channels, please contact your local broadcast, cable, or satellite provider to inform them of this issue.

Sound problems

Check the antenna/cable connections (  Chapter 2).

The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another channel.

The sound may be muted. Press

VOLUME

.

If you hear no sound, try setting the

MTS

feature to

Stereo

mode (  page 43).

If you are not receiving a second audio program from a known SAP source, make sure the

MTS

feature is set to

SAP

mode (  page 43).

If you hear audio that seems “incorrect” for the program you are watching (such as music or a foreign language), the SAP mode may be on. Set the

MTS

feature to

Stereo mode (  page 43).

Remote control problems

Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device mode (  page 21).

Remove all obstructions between the remote control and the TV.

The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the batteries (  page 20).

Your TV remote control may not operate certain features on your external device. Refer to the owner’s manual for your other device to determine its available features.

If your TV remote control does not operate a specific feature on another device, use the remote control that came with the device (  pages 22–26).

If the TV still does not act as expected, use the Reset

Factory Defaults procedure (  page 33).

Chapter 8: Troubleshooting

Channel tuning problems

Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device mode (  page 21).

The channel may have been erased from the channel memory by the Channel Add/Delete feature. Add the channel to the channel memory (  page 30).

The channel may be blocked by the

Channels Block feature. Unblock the channel (  page 49).

If you are unable to tune digital channels, check the antenna configuration (  page 29). If you are still unable to tune digital channels, clear all channels from the channel list (  page 31) and reprogram channels into the channel memory (  page 30). If you are still unable to tune digital channels, use the Reset Factory

Defaults procedure (  page 33). Also see “TV stops responding to controls” and “Other problems”

(  page 53).
