IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Precautions

Installing your TV

•Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform. The mounting surface should be flat and
steady. If you install the TV on a soft floor, make sure that the floor is not damaged by the weight
of the TV.

•Place the TV far enough away from the walls to allow proper ventilation. This will prevent the
TV from overheating and avoid possible damage to the TV. Avoid dusty places.

•Damage may occur if you leave the TV in direct sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places subject to
extremely high temperatures or humidity, and temperatures of 41˚F(5˚C) or lower.

•If you decide to subscribe to DIRECTV, we strongly recommend that you have the satellite
system professionally installed. Installation can be arranged through the dealer where the TV was
purchased.

Using your TV

•Do not stand or climb on the TV.

•Do not put any heavy object on top of the TV.

•Do not place containers with liquids such as drinks or cosmetics on the TV. If any foreign
material or water leaks into the TV, unplug the AC cord and contact your dealer.

•If the room temperature suddenly rises, condensation may occur on the lenses resulting in picture
distortion or color fading. In such a case, simply wait a while (with the power on) and the
condensation will evaporate.

• Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for extended periods of

time. Stationary patterns generated by a picture-out-picture (POP) display,
computer displays, video games, stock market reports, etc., can become
permanently engrained on the picture tube. This damage is not protected by your
warranty because it is the result of misuse. If you wish to use your TV to display
still images, reduce brightness and contrast settings. Never leave a POP,
computer, or video game display unattended.

•Sit approximately 10-25 feet away from the TV. Sitting too far to the left or right of the screen
will cause the picture to appear dull as will direct sunlight and room lights. Turn the TV off to
check for reflections on the screen. Then remove the source of any reflections while viewing.

Software Upgrade

•Your digital satellite receiver is able to receive upgrades or modifications to some of its features
and functions. These modifications will occur automatically (usually at times when most viewers
are not watching programming). When an upgrade or modification is sent, you may experience a
disruption in reception for a few minutes. Your reception should return to normal after the
modification is complete. Your receiver must be plugged in to receive upgrades. Do not unplug
your receiver while an upgrade is in progress. Please consult the Upgrade menu to find a schedule
of upgrades or modifications planned by DIRECTV.

Cleaning your TV

• Clean the TV with a soft dry cloth. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzene which
might damage the finish of the cabinet. If the cabinet is very dirty, use a damp cloth to wipe the
cabinet clean, then finish with a dry cloth.

WELCOME TO HDTV

High Definition refers to a new way of sending programming information over the airwaves and into your TV. There are two
types of TV display formats available. One is ATSC format, which originated from the Advanced Television Systems
Committee. The other is NTSC format, which is named for the National Television Systems Committee. What makes your
High Definition Television (HDTV) special is that it has tuners capable of receiving ATSC and NTSC formats as well as
digital satellite signals. You can receive: analog (in NTSC format), digital terrestrial (in ATSC format), cable (in NTSC and
ATSC formats), and digital satellite. This TV makes receiving all types of signals seamless. Below is an example of how your
HDTV can receive the different types of signals.

ANALOG SIGNALS

So why is it called High Definition? Definition—commonly called resolution—refers to the sharpness of the image and is
determined by the number of dots, or pixels, your screen uses to create the image. The more pixels the sharper the image. An
HDTV normally has either 1080 or 720 rows and over 1,000 columns of pixels. This results in a display of over one million
pixels. Your HDTV also has a wide screen, or “wide aspect ratio” of 16:9 as opposed to the common 4:3 ratio. It is normally
capable of displaying both interlaced images (like today’s analog TVs) and progressive images (like a computer monitor).

What this all means is that while digital broadcasting will bring many new possibilities, only people with HDTVs like yours
will actually be capable of realizing many of them. A wide aspect ratio, one million pixel resolution, CD-quality audio with
Dolby Digital surround sound, and improved interactivity are features of many digital broadcasts, and your HDTV will help
bring it all into your home.

GETTING STARTED

Now that you have an understanding of what your HDTV can do, read on to find necessary information about how to use the
TV.

The first section of this manual shows you how to connect components and speakers to your TV. The “Basic TV Operation”
section describes how you receive the three signals and the important modes of operation: TV mode and DIRECTV mode.
The rest of this manual describes how to use your television’s many features, such as program guides, picture and audio
controls, and system options.

* The appearance of your satellite dish antenna may differ from that shown here.

If your satellite dish antenna is round instead of oval, you can receive programming from only the DIRECTV satellite.

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

STEP 1: CONNECT YOUR TV TO OTHER
COMPONENTS

During the satellite dish antenna installation, the TV may have been connected with just a
coaxial cable for the system test. Depending on what components you have, another
connection may provide better picture and audio quality. The following sections provide
cable and connection information to help you decide what connection is best for you.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE CONNECTING
COMPONENTS

Protect Your Components from Power Surges

• Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.

• Always turn off the TV and other components before you connect or disconnect any
cables.

Position Cables Correctly to Avoid Audio Hum or
Interference

•Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.

•Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV’s back panel instead of straight
down the middle after you connect your components.

•Try not to coil any twin-lead cables; keep them away from the audio/video cables as
much as possible.

•Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the safety sheet
packed with your unit.

Protect Your Components from Overheating

•Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components. Arrange the components so
that air can circulate freely.

•Do not stack components.

• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a stand.

•Place an amplifier on the top shelf of the stand so that heated air rising from it will
not flow around other components.

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

JACKS AND CABLES

Below is a description of the jacks and cables you can use to make connections. Note that
not all cables come with your television unit.

ColorStream™ Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)

ColorStream cables come in sets of three and provide the best picture performance.
ColorStream cables can only be used with ColorStream (component video) compatible
components.

S-Video Jack and Cable

The S-Video jack provides better picture quality for your system. This jack is available on
this TV and is used in conjunction with audio cables. Remember to connect the left and
right audio cables because the S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)

The audio/video jacks provide very good picture and stereo sound quality.
Theses jacks are used for most audio/video connections between components. The audio/
video jacks are often color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left
audio). If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left
(white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV.

RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)

The RF jacks are necessary for reception of off-air broadcasts, cable, and DIRECTV
signals.

These jacks are required for antenna or cable connections. The RF and coaxial jacks on
the TV are labeled SATELLITE IN, ANTENNA A IN, and ANTENNA B IN. An RG-6
coaxial cable is required for all satellite signal distribution.

Optical Jack and Cables

The optical cable is used for connecting a Dolby Digital receiver. If you own a Dolby
Digital receiver that uses an optical cable-type input, you can use an optical cable to
connect the TV to that receiver for the best sound quality.

Telephone Jack and Cord

A telephone line cord is required to connect your TV to a phone line if you choose to
subscribe to DIRECTV® programming. The phone line connection is used to periodically
call out to DIRECTV. You will need an RJ11 type modular jack, which is the most
common type of phone jack and might look like the one pictured here. If you don’t have a
modular jack, call your local telephone company to find out how to get one installed.

How to view your
VCR:

•Press TV/VIDEO on the

USING THE REMOTE

In this section you will find out how to
use your universal remote control. This
section:

• defines the buttons on the remote
control.

• describes how you toggle between TV
“mode” and Satellite “mode.”

• shows you how to change between
analog off-air, digital off-air, and
DIRECTV channels.

• walks you through using the POP
(picture-out-picture) feature.

• describes how to program the remote
to control other devices such as a
VCR.

• describes how to learn operating
codes from most infrared remote
control transmitters.

Important: Because this universal
remote can control several different
components (TV, VCR, etc.), it uses
operational modes triggered by the
component switch. For example, if you
want the remote to control the VCR,
you would select “VCR” position to
put the remote into VCR mode.

USING THE REMOTE

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
CONTROL

The universal remote can be programmed to control most brands of remote
controllable components such as VCRs. The remote is already programmed
to control most TOSHIBA TVs, VCRs, and DVD players.

Testing the Remote Control

To determine whether the universal remote control requires programming,
turn on a component, such as a VCR, point the remote control at the VCR,
and set the component (TV/DVD/VCR/CABLE) switch to “VCR”. Then
press POWER or CH yz to see if the VCR responds to the remote control
commands. If not, it requires programming.

Programming the Remote Control

1. Refer to the “VCR code table”, ‘DVD code table” or “Cable TV
converter code table” on pages 26 and 27 to find the code number that
corresponds to the brand name of your component.

If more than one number is listed, try each one separately until you find
the one that works.

2. Set the component switch to “VCR”, “DVD” or “CABLE” position.

3. While holding down EXIT, press the Number buttons to enter the three
digit code number for your brand of component. The transmit indicator
lights up for 1 second when the programming is completed.
When an operation error has occurred, the indicator blinks.
Press EXIT again to reset.

4. Point the Remote Control at the component and press POWER to test
the code number.

–If the number is correct, the component should turn on.

–If the component does not respond to the remote control, repeat steps

1 through 4 with another code number.

•You have to reprogram the remote control when you change its batteries.

•Some newer VCRs are capable of working on either of two remote
codes. These VCRs have a switch labeled “VCR 1/VCR 2.”

If your VCR has this kind of switch, and does not respond to any of the
code numbers for your VCR brand name, set the switch to the other
position (“VCR 1” or “VCR 2”) and reprogram the remote control.

•In some rare cases, you may not be able to operate your non-TOSHIBA
equipment with the supplied remote control. This is because your
equipment may use a code that is not provided with this remote control.
In this case, please use the equipment’s own remote control.
