Where Your TV Stands

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

The Issue

a If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your

home. Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV.

a The home theater entertainment experience is a growing

trend, and larger TVs are popular purchases; however, they are not always supported on the proper TV stands.

Sometimes TVs are improperly secured or inappropriately

situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may fall over,

causing unnecessary injury.

Toshiba Cares!

a The consumer electronics

industry is committed to

making home entertainment

enjoyable and safe.

The Consumer Electronics

Association formed the Home Entertainment Support Safety Committee, comprised of TV and

consumer electronics

furniture manufacturers, to

advocate children’s safety and

educate consumers and their

families about television safety.

Tune Into Safety

a One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate

furniture large enough to support the weight of your TV (and other electronic components).

a Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to

secure your furniture to the wall (but never screw anything directly into the TV).

a Carefully read and understand the other enclosed

instructions for proper use of this product.

a Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture

and TVs.

a Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR,

remote control, or toy) that a curious child may reach for. Remember that children can become excited while watching

a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over.

a Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of

the home with your family and friends. Thank you!

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

HDMI™ cable

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use with devices with 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 15).

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

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable is for connecting a PC to the TV’s PC IN terminal (- page 16).

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)

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

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 21).

• 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 19–23).

Installing the remote control batteries

1 Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote

control.

Squeeze tab and lift cover.

2 Install 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)

3 Reinsert 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.

Chapter 3: Using 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 19.

1 In the remote control code table (- page 22), find the

code for your device. If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you find one that works.

2 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), DVD (for a DVD player or HTIB [home theater in a box]), or VCR (for a VCR or TV/VCR combo).

3 While holding down E, press the Channel Number

buttons to enter the 3-digit code for your device.

4 To test the code, turn on the device, point the remote

control at it, and press p. (Also 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 device’s original remote control.

5 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.

Page 22

Chapter 3: Using the remote control

Programming channels into the TV’s channel memory

When you press < or , on the remote control or TV control panel, your TV will stop only on the channels you program into the TV’s channel memory.

Follow the steps below to program channels into the TV’s channel memory.

Programming channels automatically

Your TV can automatically detect all active channels in your area and store them in its memory. After the channels are programmed automatically, you can manually add or erase individual channels in the channel memory.

Note:

• If the input signal type is set to CABLE for an antenna input, the automatic channel programming process erases channels that were previously programmed into the TV’s memory.

• If the input signal type is set to TV, the automatic channel programming process does NOT erase channels that were previously programmed into the TV’s memory, but adds newly found channels to the existing set of programmed channels. To remove a channel from the memory, you must manually delete it.

• To tune the TV to a channel not programmed in the channel memory, you must use the Channel Number buttons on the remote control.

• Programming channels for an antenna input configured for CABLE will take substantially longer than for an antenna input configured for TV. This is normal; however, once channel programming is completed, you should not have to repeat the programming process again unless your Cable TV service lineup changes significantly.

To program channels automatically:

1 Press Y and open the Set Up menu. 2 Press B or b to highlight TV/CABLE. 3 Press C or c to select either TV (if you use an antenna) or

CABLE (if you use cable channels).

Note:

• A second audio program (SAP) can be heard only on those TV stations that offer it. For example, a station might broadcast another language as a second audio program. If you have SAP on, you will see the current program on the screen but hear the other language instead of the program’s normal audio.

• If you have SAP on and the station you are watching is not broadcasting a second audio program, the station’s normal audio will be output. However, occasionally there is no sound at all in SAP mode. If this happens, set the MTS feature to Stereo mode.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting

General troubleshooting

Before calling a service technician, please check this section for a possible cause of the problem and some solutions you can try.

Black box on screen

• The Closed Caption feature is set to one of the Text

modes (T1, T2, T3, or T4). Set the Closed Caption feature to Off (- page 37).

TV stops responding to controls

• If the TV stops responding to the controls on the remote

control or TV control panel and you cannot turn off the TV, press and hold the POWER button on the TV control panel for 5 or more seconds to reset the TV.

TV will not turn on

• Make sure the power cord is plugged in, and then press

• The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the

batteries or try the control panel buttons.

Picture problems

General picture problems

• Check the antenna/cable connections (- page 10).

• Press + on the remote control or INPUT on the TV

control panel and select a valid video input source (- page 30). If no device is connected, no picture will display when you select that particular input source. For device connection details, see page 10.

• Antenna reception may be poor. Use a highly directional

outdoor antenna (if applicable).

• The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another

channel.

• Adjust the picture qualities (- page 35).

• If you are using a VCR, make sure L on the remote

control is set correctly (- page 19).

• If you have two VCRs connected to your TV, make sure

you have not connected the same VCR to the TV’s output and input connections at the same time.

• Do not connect both a standard video cable and an

S-video cable to the VIDEO-2 inputs at the same time (- page 14).

Noisy picture

• If you are watching a tuned analog channel (off-air

broadcast or Cable TV), set the CableClear feature to Auto to reduce visible interference in the TV picture (- page 36).

Video Input Selection problems

• If the program list does not appear when you press + on

the remote control or INPUT on the TV control panel, press the button a second time, which will change the TV to the next video input source and display the program list.

Cannot view external signals or channel 3 or 4

• If you cannot view signals from external devices

connected to VIDEO-1, VIDEO-2, ColorStream

HDMI, or from channels 3 or 4, make sure the Video Lock is set to Off (- page 41).

/DNR

, or

Poor color or no color

• The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another

channel.

• Adjust the Tint and/or Color (- page 35).

• When the ColorStream

signal source is active, the VIDEO OUT terminal outputs blank video. To receive video from the VIDEO OUT signal, a standard video or S-video IN terminal must be used instead of the

ColorStream

connections.

Poor composite or S-video picture

• If the poor picture occurs when 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 (- page 10).

• 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 38).

• 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 38).

• 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 38).

Page 46

Remote control problems

• Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device

mode (- page 19).

• Remove all obstructions between the remote control and

the TV.

• The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the

batteries (- page 17).

• The 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 the TV remote control does not operate a specific feature on the device, use the remote control provided with the device (- pages 19–23).

Channel tuning problems

• Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device

mode (- page 18).

• The channel may have been erased from the channel

memory by the Add/Erase feature. Add the channel to the channel memory (- page 27).

• The channel may be blocked by the Channel Lock

feature. Unblock the channel (- page 41).

Closed caption problems

• If the program or video you selected is not closed-

captioned, no captions will display on-screen (- page 37).

• If text is not available, a black rectangle may appear on-

screen. If this happens, turn off the closed caption feature (- page 37).

• A closed caption signal may not display correctly in the

following situations: a) when a videotape has been dubbed; b) when the signal reception is weak; or c) when the signal reception is nonstandard (- page 37).
