signal and will generally mean that an outdoor
antenna must be used.
The exact type and positioning of the antenna
will depend upon your particular area.
Your Toshiba dealer or service personnel can
best advise you on which antenna to use in your
area.
Before connecting the antenna cable, turn off all
main power switches.

Connecting your TV
Connecting an HDMI or a DVI device
• When turning on your electronic components,
turn on the TV first, and then the HDMI or DVI
device.
• When turning off your electronic components,
turn off the HDMI or DVI device first, and then
the TV.
• This TV may not be compatible with features
and/or specifications that may be added in the
future.
• This TV is only operable with L-PCM on
32/44.1/48 kHz and 16/20/24 bits. If there is no
sound when using HDMI, use the analog audio
cables to connect the TV and the HDMI device,
and select Analog in HDMI1 audio of the AV
connection menu (- page 28).
• This TV is able to connect with HDMI devices.
But it is possible that some HDMI devices may
not operate properly with this TV.
Connecting an HDMI or a DVI device
The HDMI input on your TV receives digital
audio and uncompressed digital video from an
HDMI device or uncompressed digital video from
a DVI device. This input is designed to accept
HDCP program material in digital from EIA/CEA861/861B compliant consumer electronic devices
(such as a set top box or DVD player with HDMI
or DVI output).
The HDMI input is designed for best performance
with 1080i (50 Hz/60 Hz) and 1080p (50 Hz/60
Hz) high-definition video signals, but will also
accept and display 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p
(50 Hz/60 Hz) and VGA signals.
• HDMI: High-Definition Multimedia Interface
• DVI: Digital Video Interface
• HDCP: High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection
• EIA/CEA-861/861B compliance covers the
transmission of uncompressed digital video
with high-bandwidth digital content protection,
which is being standardized for reception of
high-definition video signals. Because this is
an evolving technology, it is possible that some
devices may not operate properly with the TV.
• E-EDID: Enhanced-Extended Display
Identification
• VGA: VESA 640 5 480 @ 60 Hz
• L-PCM: Linear-Pulse Code Modulation

• S-XGA: VESA 1280 5 1024 @ 60 Hz
(Compressed)
However, these signal formats are converted to
match the number of pixels of the LCD panel.
Therefore, the TV may not display small text
properly.
If you connect this unit to your PC, the
compressed image is displayed in S-XGA mode,
therefore the picture quality may deteriorate and
characters may not be read.
Notes:
• Some PC models cannot be connected to this TV.
• If connecting a certain PC model that signal is
particular, the PC signal may not be detected
correctly.
• There is no need to use an adapter for
computers with DOS/V compatible mini D-sub
15 pin terminal.
• A bar may appear in the upper, lower, right or
left side of the screen, or parts of the picture
may be obscured depending on some signals.
This is not the malfunction.
