Ph: 1-800-631-3811
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
removing and applying power to the equipment, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Caution: Changes or modifications to this equipment not
expressly approved by Toshiba could void the user’s authority
to operate this equipment.
LCD TV
The following symptoms are technical limitations of LCD
Display technology and are not an indication of malfunction;
therefore, Toshiba is not responsible for perceived issues
resulting from these symptoms.
1) An afterimage (ghost) may appear on the screen if a fixed, nonmoving image is displayed for a long period of time. The
afterimage is not permanent and will disappear in a short period of
time.
2) The LCD panel contained in this TV is manufactured using an
extremely high level of precision technology; however, there may
be an occasional pixel (dot of light) that does not operate properly
(does not light, remains constantly lit, etc.). This is a structural
property of LCD technology, is not a sign of malfunction, and is
not covered under your warranty. Such pixels are not visible when
the picture is viewed from a normal viewing distance.
Note: Interactive video games that involve shooting a “gun”
type of joystick at an on-screen target may not work with this
TV.

digital programming. Certain advanced or interactive digital
cable services (such as video-on-demand, a cable operator’s
enhanced program guide, and data-enhanced television
services) may require the use of a set-top box. For more
information, call your local cable operator.
We have provided two separate Guides to facilitate the

Chapter 2: Using the remote control
Preparing the remote control
for use
Your TV remote control can operate your TV and many other
devices such as cable converter boxes, satellite receivers,
VCRs, DVD players, and HTIBs (home theater in a box), even
if they are different brands.
If you have a Toshiba device:
Your TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate most
Toshiba devices (- page 11).
• Always remove batteries from the remote control if they are
dead or if the remote control is not to be used for an
extended period of time. This will prevent battery acid from
leaking into the battery compartment.
Remote control effective range
For optimum performance, aim the remote control directly at
the TV and make sure there is no obstruction between the
remote control and the TV.
If you have a non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba device
that the remote control is not preprogrammed to
operate:
You can program the TV remote control so it will operate the
other device (- pages 9–13).
Installing the remote control
batteries
1Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote
control.
Squeeze tab
and lift cover.
2Install two “AAA” size batteries, making sure to match
the + and – signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery
compartment.
Point remote control
toward remote sensor
on front of TV.
16.4 ft (5m)
3Reinsert the battery cover in the remote control until the
tab snaps.
Caution: Never throw batteries into a fire.
Note:
• Be sure to use AAA size batteries.
• Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.
• Batteries should always be disposed of with the
environment in mind. Always dispose of batteries in
accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
• If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the
operating range becomes reduced, replace batteries with
new ones.
• When necessary to replace batteries in the remote control,
always replace both batteries with new ones. Never mix
battery types or use new and used batteries in combination.

Using the remote control to operate
your other devices
If you have a non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba device that the
remote control is not preprogrammed to operate, you must first
program the remote control to recognize the device (if you
have not already done so) (- pages 11–13).
To use your TV remote control to operate a:
• Cable converter box or satellite receiver, set the MODE
SELECT switch to CABLE/SAT.
• DVD player or HTIB, set the MODE SELECT switch to
DVD.
• VCR, set the MODE SELECT switch to VCR.
Note: Even after the TV remote control is programmed, it may
not operate certain features on your other device. If this
happens and you wish to use those features, you will need to
use the device’s original remote control.
Point the remote control

Programming the remote control
to operate 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 9.
1In the remote control code table (- page 12), find the
code for your device. If more than one code is listed, try
each one separately until you find one that works.
2Set 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), DVD (for a DVD player or HTIB [home theater
in a box]), or VCR (for a VCR or TV/VCR combo).
3While holding down E, press the Channel Number
buttons to enter the 3-digit code for your device.
4To test the code, turn on the device, point the remote
control at it, and press p. 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.
5Remember to set the MODE SELECT switch back to
“TV” to control the TV.
6For future reference, write down the code(s) you used:
DEVICECODEDEVICECODE
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.
11
Chapter 2: 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.
