Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy
your new TV, keep these safety tips in mind:
The Issue
If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your home.
Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV.
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!
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
One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate furniture large enough to
support the weight of your TV (and other electronic components).
Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure your
furniture to the wall (but never screw anything directly into the TV).
Carefully read and understand the other enclosed instructions for
proper use of this product.
Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture and TVs.
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.
Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of
with your family and friends. Thank you!

Important notes about your Plasma TV
The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction,
but rather technical limitations of plasma TV
technology.
1) The display of this Plasma TV radiates infrared rays. It may
affect other infrared communication equipment under
certain operating conditions.
2) Under certain conditions, the display of this Plasma TV
may cause interference with the audio and/or video of
certain types of electronic equipment that easily receive
electromagnetic waves (e.g., AM radios and video
equipment). In particular, the display of this Plasma TV
may affect certain types of electronic equipment that are
located beyond the area where the Plasma TV is being
used.
3) The display panel of this Plasma TV is manufactured using
an extremely high level of precision technology. However,
occasionally some parts of the screen may be missing
picture elements and/or have luminous spots.
4) You can enjoy playing video games on this Plasma TV.
However, certain video games that utilize so-called “light
gun” joysticks for shooting at on-screen targets may not
work with this Plasma TV.
5) Possible Adverse Effects on Plasma Display
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all gas-based
plasma displays, the display of this Plasma TV may be
susceptible to permanent ghost images (also known as
phosphor burn-in) under certain circumstances. Certain
operating conditions may accelerate the potential for
phosphor burn-in, including but not limited to the
following:
• Displaying fixed (non-moving) images, including but
not limited to PIP/POP windows, closed captions, video
game patterns, TV station logos, stock tickers, and
websites.
About the Sticking Image Protection feature
This TV contains a “Sticking Image Protection” feature that
automatically starts to decrease the picture brightness in
small increments when a fixed (non-moving) image is
displayed on-screen for an extended period of time. This
feature helps to reduce and delay the potential for phosphor
burn-in. The time delay and rate of decreasing picture
brightness depend on the brightness of the displayed image.

from that to which the receiver is connected.
for help.
• Displaying special formats that do not use the entire
screen, including but not limited to widescreen or
letterbox format media viewed on a 4:3 aspect ratio
display (with gray or black bars at the top and bottom of
the screen) and 4:3 aspect ratio format media viewed on
a widescreen/16:9 aspect ratio display (with gray or
black bars on the left and right sides of the screen).
To minimize the potential for the occurrence of phosphor
burn-in, Toshiba recommends the following:
• Display a moving image on the display of your Plasma
TV whenever possible.
• Always turn off the power of your Plasma TV when you
are finished using it.
• Reduce the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as
possible without impairing image quality.
• Enable the Long Life settings (see page 94).
• Try to display images that have many colors and color
gradations (i.e., photographic or photo-realistic images).
• Try to display images that have minimal contrast
between light and dark areas (e.g., avoid white
characters on black backgrounds).
• Try to avoid displaying images that have few colors and/
or that have distinct, sharply defined borders between
colors.

Connecting a digital CableCARD™
This digital television is capable of receiving analog basic, digital
basic, and digital premium cable television programming by
direct connection to a cable system providing such
programming.
A security card (such as a digital CableCARD™), provided by
your cable operator, is required to view encrypted digital
programming.
Certain advanced and interactive digital cable services (such as
video-on-demand, a cable operator’s enhanced program guide,
and data-enhanced television services) will not work with the
use of a CableCARD
™
and may require the use of a separate set-
top box from your cable operator.
For more information, call your local cable operator.
You will need:
™
one digital CableCARD
(contact your cable operator)
digital cable subscription service (contact your cable
operator)
TV back panel
From digital Cable service
(connect to ANT 1 only)
To view encrypted digital channels:
1. Connect your digital Cable TV cable to ANT 1.
™
2. With the front of the CableCARD
the CableCARD
™
slot on the back of the TV (see
facing up, insert it into
illustration below left).
3. After the CableCARD™ is inserted, a CableCARD™ option
appears in the Applications menu, with informational
screens provided by your digital CableCARD
CableCard services will only operate
with cable signal connected to Antenna 1.
Note:
• Always use the EJECT button to remove the CableCARD™. Never
remove the CableCARD™ by hand.
• Never insert any object or card (including, without limitation, a
PCMCIA card) other than a CableCARD™ into the CableCARD™
slot.
• Always make sure the CableCARD™ is facing the correct direction.
• Connect the cable for your digital cable TV service to ANT 1 only.
•When using a CableCARD™, channel programming is unnecessary
because the CableCARD™ automatically loads the cable channel
list into the TV’s channel memory (page 44).
•The CableCARD™ may take up to 5 minutes to “pair” with the TV
and download channel information. CableCARD™ information and
channels will not be available until this process is completed.

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.
Note: To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset
properly, it is recommended that you follow these
procedures:
•When turning on your electronic components, turn onthe TV first, and then the HDMI or DVI device.
•When turning off your electronic components, turn offthe HDMI or DVI device first, and then the TV.
To connect a DVI device, you will need:
• one HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable (HDMI type A
connector) per DVI device
For proper operation, the length of an HDMI-to-DVI adapter
cable should not exceed 9.8 ft (3m). The recommended length
is 6.6 ft (2m).
• one pair of standard analog audio cables per DVI
device
An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers video only.
Separate analog audio cables are required (see
illustration below).

Controlling infrared remote-controlled devices through the TV (IR pass-through)
Front of IR-controlled DVD player (for example)
You can use the TV’s IR OUT terminal (infrared pass-through)
to remotely operate (through the TV) many infrared remotecontrolled devices (such as a Toshiba infrared remote-controlled
VCR or DVD player) enclosed within an entertainment center
or similar cabinet. Without the IR OUT connection, the device
typically would need to be visible to operate it remotely.
You will need:
one dual-wand IR blaster cable (included with your TV)
other audio/video cables as required to connect the device(s)
to the TV (see pages 14–21)
To connect the IR blaster cable:
1. Locate the infrared sensor on the front of your device. This
sensor is marked on some devices.*
2. Align one of the IR blaster cable’s wands about 1 inch away
from the infrared sensor on the front of the device and
attach it using double-sided mounting tape. If you have a
second device, attach the second wand in a similar manner.
(See illustration at right.)
Note: If you do not have a second device, coil the second wand
with a rubber band and leave it behind the TV.
3. Plug the IR blaster cable’s plug into one of the TV’s
TheaterNet OUT terminals.

If you cannot locate the device’s infrared sensor:
1. Turn OFF the device.
2. Starting at the lower left corner of the device, place the end of the
device’s remote control (with the infrared emitter) so it touches the
front of the device and press POWER. (Do not use the TV’s remote
control for this step.)
3. If the device turns on, the point at which the remote control touched
the device is the location of the sensor.
4. If the device does not turn on, move the remote control slightly to the
right and press POWER again.
5. Repeat step 4 until you locate the device’s infrared sensor.
TheaterNet™ on-screen device control
For additional control options for
your home theater system, set up
the TheaterNet on-screen device
control feature. You can use this
feature to control many IR
remote-controlled devices and
IEEE1394 devices using the onscreen control icons.
See pages 47–51 for details on setting
up and using TheaterNet.
See pages 23–25 for details on
connecting IEEE1394 devices.
Note: The TheaterNet on-screen icons are the only device functions
available when the icons are on-screen. To access other device
functions, close the TheaterNet icon window.
You can use the two bi-directional IEEE1394 ports on the back
of your TV to connect digital video devices that meet CEA
specifications for IEEE1394.
Because these ports are bi-directional, they can be used for both
playback and recording.
• Because IEEE1394 is an evolving technology, it is possible that some
or all of the connectivity features of a device you connect to the TV
through the IEEE1394 ports may not operate. You should confirm
that the devices you desire to use with the IEEE1394 ports will
operate with those ports.
•This TV does not support all possible IEEE1394 signal types. For
information on signals supported by the IEEE1394 ports, see
“Supported signals” at right.
•IEEE1394 cable carries both audio and video information;
separate audio cables are not required.
You will need:
one (or two) IEEE1394 cable(s)

Supported signals
The IEEE1394 ports support the signals listed below only.
Although incompatible video, audio, and digital control signals
cannot be decoded by the TV, these signals may be passed
through the IEEE1394 cable to other compatible devices.
Incompatible devices may not appear in the TheaterNet
• MPEG-2 digital video signals
Other digital video signals—such as DV video—are
incompatible and must be decoded by the source device and
sent to the TV as analog video (composite or S-video).
• Dolby Digital and MPEG digital audio signals
Other digital audio signals (such as DPM, MP3, and DTS) are
incompatible and cannot be decoded by the TV.
• EIA-775 and AV/C digital control
Your TV can serve as the control center for many devices
that are compatible with EIA-775 or AV/C IEEE1394
control standards (described below).
The TV cannot control IEEE1394 devices that use any other
control standards.
– EIA-775 digital control allows tuning devices (such as
Cable boxes) to send simple graphics; however, this
standard does not allow the TV to control the Cable box
through IEEE1394.
– AV/C (audio/video control) provides basic control (such
as power, play, stop rewind, fast-forward, pause, and
record), as applicable to the specific device.

(such as AVHD or D-VHS)
Using analog-compatible IEEE1394
devices
Some digital IEEE1394 devices are compatible with analog
signals. For example, some D-VHS VCRs can record and play
VHS or S-VHS format videos. Such devices allow you to play
analog tapes that you rented or recorded, or record analog
programs from antenna or Cable TV systems. To use the
IEEE1394 device’s analog features, you need to connect the
device to the TV using standard A/V cables (or S-video plus
audio cables) in addition to connecting the IEEE1394 cable.
Note: If you have an IEEE1394 device connected to both digital
and analog inputs on the TV, the TV automatically switches
between analog and digital modes, as needed, when the initial
device access is initiated using the TheaterNet button.
See page 47 for details on using the TheaterNet feature.
You can use the TheaterNet feature to control some IEEE1394
devices using on-screen control icons. See page 47 for details on
setting up and using the TheaterNet feature.
Note: If the TheaterNet feature does not control your
IEEE1394 device, you can either use the device’s remote
control or try using IR pass-through with the TV’s remote
control (page 22).

Important information regarding IEEE1394
device interconnection
• Never loop the last device in the chain back to the TV.
If the device chain is looped, the TV may not work properly with the
other devices in the chain.
• Always place devices with the slowest communicationspeed at the end of each chain. If a device with a slower
communication speed is placed ahead of a faster device in the
chain, the signal from the slower device will interfere with the signal
from the faster device. To determine the communication speed of
an IEEE1394 device, look for an “S” number near the device’s
IEEE1394 connector. The higher the “S” number, the faster the
device. If your device is not marked with an “S” number, look in the
device’s user manual or call the device manufacturer’s technical
support number.
• If your IEEE1394 device has a two-position power
switch, always place the device at the end of the chain
and turn ON the power switch when any device is used.
If the power switch is OFF, it will interfere with signals from devices
behind it in the chain.
• The maximum length for an IEEE1394 cable between
each device is 15 feet.
•This TV is an IEEE1394A device. The IEEE1394B protocol is faster
and intended to allow for longer distances between devices and
multi-room systems. IEEE1394A–to–IEEE1394B converters
(available at some electronics suppliers) may allow compatibility of
IEEE1394B devices with your existing IEEE1394A devices.
•The transmission capability of IEEE1394 cable used with this TV
must be S400 (400 Mbps maximum).

TV Guide On Screen™ Reminder
The TV Guide On Screen™ system receives program listing
data through your Cable or over-the-air video signal. In
order to receive regular program listing updates, remember
to do the following:
1. Leave the TV in standby mode when it is not in use
by turning it OFF but leaving the power cord
plugged in.
2. If you have a Cable box connected, leave it ON.
3. If you have a VCR connected, turn it OFF when not

you may be prompted to select which Cable system’s
program data to download. If so prompted, follow the
on-screen instructions.
Note: If the TV power cord is unplugged for an
extended period of time, it may take up to 24 hours with
the TV in standby mode (power cord plugged in and
power OFF) to download the TV Guide On Screen™
program schedule. It may take up to a week before an
entire program schedule is available.

When you press CHANNEL y or z on the remote control or
TV side panel, your TV will stop only on the channels stored in
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.
Note:
•You must configure the antenna input sources before
programming channels (see page 43).
• 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 ANTENNA, 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 (see next page).
•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 ANTENNA. 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.
• If you have a CableCARD™ inserted (page 13), channel
programming for ANT 1 is disabled because the CableCARD™
automatically loads the Cable channel list into the TV’s channel
memory.
To program channels automatically:
1. Make sure you have configured the antenna input sources.
See page 43 for details.
2. Press MENU and open the Setup menu.
3. Highlight Installation and press ENTER. (A new set of
Installation menu icons will appear on-screen).
4. Open the Terrestrial menu, highlight Channel Program,
and press ENTER.
5. Highlight ANT 1 or

Using the Channel Browser™ (continued)
Adding and clearing channels in the
channel history
Adding channels to the channel history
The channel browser automatically creates a history of the
last 32 channels that were tuned in the current input (ANT 1,
ANT 2, and Cable Box inputs only). A separate history will be
stored for each of these inputs.
If you change the input you are viewing:
a) you will begin a channel history for that input if one did
not exist; or
b) you will return to the existing channel history for that input
if one had already been started.
The channel browser will store the following channels:
• All channels that are tuned using the numeric buttons on the
remote control.
• All channels that are tuned for at least 7 seconds using the
CH yz buttons or the FAV CH yz buttons on the remote
control.
Note:
•The channel browser banner will not appear when the POP double
window is open; however, channels tuned while the POP double
window is open will be added to the channel browser history for the
current input.
•The channel browser banner will not appear in the FAV SCAN
(favorite scan) multi-window. Channels that appear in the FAV SCAN
multi-window will not be added to the channel browser history;
however, channels that are tuned from the FAV SCAN multi-window
for at least 7 seconds will be added to the channel history.
Clearing channels from the channel history
• Turning off the TV will clear all three channel histories
(ANT 1, ANT 2, and Cable Box).
• Removing the CableCARD
™
will clear the channel history
for the ANT 1 input.
• Reconfiguring the ANT 1, ANT 2, or Cable Box input
will clear the channel history for the newly configured
input(s).
Note:
See page 43 for details on configuring the antenna inputs.
Setting a channel as the “Home” channel
for an input
To set a channel as Home using the remote control:
1. Tune the TV to the channel you would like to set as the
Home channel for the current antenna input.
2. Press and hold the HOME (
) button on the remote
control for 3 seconds. When the Home channel is saved,
the channel browser banner will appear at the bottom of
the screen with the home icon flashing green.
Note: You can set a different Home channel for each input
(ANT 1, ANT 2, and Cable Box inputs only).
To set a channel as Home using the menus:

remote control.
Note: If you press the HOME
button while an input other than
an antenna or Cable Box input is
selected, the TV will tune to the
most recently tuned Home
channel and input.
To tune to the channels you programmed as Favorite Channels,
see page 46.
Tuning to the next programmed channel
To tune to the next programmed channel:
Press CHANNEL yz on the remote control or TV side panel.
Note:
•This feature will not work unless you program channels into the
TV’s channel memory (see page 44).
• If you are recording a digital channel, you will only be able to
change analog channels while the recording is in progress. If you
are recording an analog channel, you will only be able to change
digital channels while the recording is in progress. This is
because the TV tuner that is being recorded (digital or analog)
will be locked on the channel that is currently recording.
Tuning to a specific channel
(programmed or unprogrammed)
Tuning analog channels:
Press the Channel Number buttons (0–9) on the remote
control. For example, to select channel 125, press 1, 2, 5.
Tuning digital channels:
Press the Channel Number buttons (0–9) on the remote
control, followed by the – (dash) button and then the subchannel number. For example, to select digital channel 125-1,
press 1, 2, 5, –, 1.
Note: If a digital channel is not programmed—either through
the automatic channel scan (page 44) or the channel add/
delete function (page 45)—you will have to tune the RF
channel using the Channel Number and Dash buttons on the
remote control.
Switching between two channels using
Channel Return
The Channel Return feature allows you to switch between two
channels without entering an actual channel number each time.
1. Select the first channel you want to view.
2. Select a second channel using the Channel Number buttons
(and the dash (–) button if selecting a digital channel).
3. Press CH RTN on the remote control. The previous
channel will display. Each time you press CH RTN, the TV
will switch back and forth between the last two channels
that were selected.
Note:
• If you press CH RTN from a non-antenna input, the TV will
return to the last-viewed ANT input and channel.
• If you are currently recording a program, this feature will
not be available.
Switching between two channels using
SurfLock™
The SurfLock™ feature temporarily “memorizes” one channel
in the CH RTN button, so you can return to that channel
quickly from any other channel by pressing CH RTN. To
memorize a channel in the CH RTN button:
1. Select the channel you want to program into the CH RTN
button.
2. Press and hold CH RTN for about 2 seconds until the
message “Channel Memorized” appears on the screen. The
channel has been programmed into the CH RTN button.
3. You can then change channels repeatedly, and when you
press CH RTN, the memorized channel will be selected.
Press CH RTN. The memorized channel will be selected. The
TV will return to the memorized channel one time only. Once
you press CH RTN and then change channels again, the CH
RTN button memory will be cleared and the button will
function as Channel Return, by switching back and forth
between the last two channels that were selected.
You can view many program formats in a variety of picture
