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.

We Care!

 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.

NOTE TO CATV INSTALLERS

This is a reminder to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC, which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. For additional antenna grounding information, see items 25 and 26 on page 4.

NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS

ON TV PICTURE TUBE

If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the TV screen for long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the picture tube. This type of

damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY.

See item 33 on page 4.

NOTE: NEVER CONNECT THIS TV TO A PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC).

THIS TV IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE WITH A PC.

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

home with your family and friends. Thank you!

• Never attempt to install any of the following during lightning activity: a) an antenna system; or b) cables, wires, or any home theater component connected to an antenna or phone system.

30) If the air temperature rises suddenly (for example, when the TV is first delivered), condensation may form on the lenses. This can make the picture appear distorted or the color appear faded. If this happens, turn off the TV for 6 to 7 hours to allow the condensation to evaporate.

31)For added protection of your TV from lightning and power surges, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the antenna from the TV if you leave the TV unattended or unused for long periods of time.

32) During normal use, the TV may make occasional snapping or popping sounds. This is normal, especially when the unit is being turned on or off. If these sounds become frequent or continuous, unplug the power cord and contact a Toshiba Authorized Service Center.

33) Possible Adverse Effects on TV Picture Tube: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the TV screen for long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the picture tube and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your TV on for long periods of time while it is displaying the following formats or images:

• Fixed Images, such as PIP/POP windows, stock tickers,

video game patterns, TV station logos, closed captions, and websites.

• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For

example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a normal (4:3) display (gray bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (gray bars on left and right sides of screen).

Care

For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA TV, follow these recommendations and precautions:

27) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and as directly in front of it as possible. The picture can appear dull if you sit too far to the left or right of the TV, or if sunlight or room lights reflect on the screen. Turn the TV off to check for reflections on the screen, and then remove the source of reflections while viewing the TV.

28) Always unplug the TV before cleaning. Never use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Alwayas clean the screen and cabinet with dry cloth only. Clean the cabinet back so dust does not clog the slots or fan. Never spray volatile compounds (such as insecticide) on the cabinet, which may cause cabinet discoloration or damage.

29) WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind into the TV cabinet slots.

Service

34) WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Never attempt to

service the TV yourself.

Opening and removing the covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to a Toshiba Authorized Service Center.

35) If you have the TV serviced:

• Ask the service technician to use only

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer.

• Remove the CableCARD™ and/or

memory card (if applicable) before servicing.

• Upon completion of service, ask the service technician to

perform routine safety checks to determine that the TV is in safe operating condition.

Note: Toshiba is not responsible for loss of data as a result of servicing. After the TV is serviced, you may need to repeat the setup process for applicable features.

36)When the TV reaches the end of its useful life, ask a

qualified service technician to properly dispose of the TV. Improper disposal may result in a picture tube implosion and possible personal injury.

Important Safety Precautions for Split Cabinet Feature

(Model 57H94 only)

Toshiba TV model 57H94 has a split cabinet feature that allows disassembly of the cabinet into two sections during installation.

For details, please refer to the insert titled “Disassembly/ Reassembly Instructions for Split Cabinet Feature” that accompanied this owner’s manual in the accessory pack. If you do not have the insert, you can download a copy of it from our Web site (www.toshiba.com/tacp in the U.S.A.). If you do not have access to the Internet, call 1-800-631-3811 to have a copy of the insert mailed to you.

WARNING: If you split the cabinet for any purpose, NEVER energize the bottom section until it is completely and properly installed.

Energizing the disassembled bottom section and subjecting it to intentional misuse (for example, exposing it to a foreign object) creates the potential for an electrical shock hazard that could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION: If you use the split cabinet feature, ALWAYS handle

and treat the top section of the TV cabinet, which contains a glass mirror, with great care. If subjected to excessive mechanical abuse (for example, if bumped or dropped), the mirror may break, creating exposed glass fragments with sharp edges. Contact with these glass fragments may result in injury.

Installation, Care, and Service

CAUTION: The split cabinet feature allows disassembly of the

cabinet into two sections during installation. If you use the split cabinet feature, follow these precautions while the two sections of the TV cabinet are disassembled:

1) Always handle and treat the top section of the TV cabinet (with

the viewing screen), which contains a glass mirror, with great

care. If subjected to excessive mechanical abuse (for example, if bumped or dropped), the mirror may break, creating exposed glass fragments with sharp edges. Contact with these glass fragments may result in injury.

2) Never temporarily locate the disassembled bottom section in an area where it may be exposed to foreign objects or abuse (for example, areas where children may be playing, where items may fall on top of the unit, or where liquids may spill into the unit). Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the optic components of the TV. SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TOSHIBA LIMITED WARRANTY.

3) Always keep the top and bottom sections of the TV cabinet in an upright position while disassembled. Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the TV, including but not limited to the optic components, cabinet, bezel, and glass mirror. SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TOSHIBA LIMITED WARRANTY.

4) WARNING: Never energize the bottom section

of the TV cabinet while disassembled. Failure to follow this instruction could result in death or serious injury.

5) Never place anything on top of the bottom section of the TV cabinet. Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the optic components. SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TOSHIBA LIMITED WARRANTY.

6) Never store or transport the unit while it is disassembled. Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the TV, including but not limited to the optic components, cabinet, bezel, and glass mirror. SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TOSHIBA LIMITED WARRANTY.

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Overview of cable types

NOTE: NEVER CONNECT THIS TV TO A PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC).

THIS TV IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE WITH A PC.

Note: Two dual-wand IR blaster/G-LINK cables are included with your TV. All other required cables, if not provided with your other devices, can be purchased at many electronics accessory suppliers.

●

Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your antenna, cable TV service, and/or cable converter box to the ANT-1 and/or ANT-2 RF inputs on your TV.

●

Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in sets of three, and are for use with video devices with standard audio and standard (composite) video output. 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 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 come in sets of three and are for use with video devices with component video output. (ColorStream These 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.

●

HDMI cable is for use with devices with HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) output. HDMI cable delivers digital audio and video in its native format. This cable carries both video and audio information; therefore, no separate audio cables are required for a complete HDMI device connection. See page 19 for further details.

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

●

IEEE-1394 cable is for use with video devices with compressed digital video output that meets CEA specifications for IEEE-1394. This cable carries both video and audio information; therefore, no separate audio cables are required for a complete connection. See pages 22–24.

Note:

• The transmission capability of IEEE-1394 cable used with this TV must be S400 (400 Mbps maximum).

• IEEE-1394 cable provides better picture performance than a standard (composite) video or S-video cable.

●

Dual-wand IR blaster/G-LINK™ cable is for use with video devices with IR (infrared) remote control. Two of these cables are included with your TV. One is for connection to the G-LINK jack (page 25) to enable TV Guide On Screen features (Chapters 5 and 7). The other can be used with the TV’s IR pass-through feature (page 21) and TheaterNet on-screen device control feature (page 44).

Note: The two IR blaster/G-LINK cables included with your TV have specific characteristics that allow them to work properly with this TV’s IR OUT and G-LINK ports. Never use other aftermarket IR blaster or G-LINK cables with this TV. Other cables may not function properly and can cause damage. THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR TOSHIBA WARRANTY.

●

Optical audio cable is for connecting receivers with Dolby® Digital or PCM (pulse-code modulation) optical audio input to the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack. See page20.

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Controlling infrared remote-controlled devices through the TV (IR pass-through)

You can use the TV’s IR OUT jack (infrared pass-through) to remotely operate (through the TV) many infrared remote-controlled 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.

Front of IR-controlled DVD player (for example)

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 12–20)

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 jacks.

To control the device(s):

Point the TV remote control (programmed to operate the device; see Chapter 3) or the device’s remote control at the front of the TV and press the button for the desired function. The signal passes from the remote control through the TV to the device via the IR blaster cable.

Note:

• If you use the device’s remote control to operate the device, you also will need to use the TV’s remote control to operate the TV.

• For additional control options, see “TheaterNet on-screen device control” at right.

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 place 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.

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting IEEE-1394 video devices

You can use the two bi-directional IEEE-1394 ports on the back of your TV to connect digital video devices that meet CEA specifications for IEEE-1394.

Because these ports are bi-directional, they can be used for both playback and recording.

• Because IEEE-1394 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 IEEE-1394 ports may not operate. You should confirm that the devices you desire to use with the IEEE-1394 ports will operate with those ports.

•This TV does not support all possible IEEE-1394 signal types. For information on signals supported by the IEEE-1394 ports, see “Supported signals” at right.

•IEEE-1394 cable carries both audio and video information; no separate audio cables are required for a complete connection.

You will need:

 one (or two) IEEE-1394 cables

Note: The transmission capability of IEEE-1394 cable used with this TV must be S400 (400 Mbps maximum).

 additional A/V cables if your device is analog-compatible

(see “Using analog-compatible IEEE-1394 devices” below).

Using analog-compatible IEEE-1394 devices

Some digital IEEE-1394 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 IEEE-1394 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 IEEE-1394 cable.

Note: If you have an IEEE-1394 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 44 for details on using the TheaterNet feature.

NOTE: NEVER CONNECT THIS TV TO A PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC).

THIS TV IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE WITH A PC.

Supported signals

The IEEE-1394 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 IEEE-1394 cable to other compatible devices.

™

Incompatible devices may not appear in the TheaterNet

menu.

•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 IEEE-1394 control standards (described below).

The TV cannot control IEEE-1394 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 IEEE-1394.

– 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.

Using TheaterNet™ on-screen device control

You can use the TheaterNet feature to control some IEEE-1394 devices using on-screen control icons. See page 44 for details on setting up and using the TheaterNet feature.

Note: If the TheaterNet feature does not control your IEEE-1394, you can try using IR pass-through with the TV’s remote control (page 21) or use the device’s remote control.

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting IEEE-1394 video devices

Connecting an A/V HD (external hard drive) or D-VHS digital recorder

(continued)

IEEE-1394 device initialization

When you connect a new IEEE-1394 device to the TV and turn it on, the device immediately announces its presence to the TV

You can connect an IEEE-1394 compatible D-VHS or A/V HD digital recorder (such as Toshiba’s Symbio

™

160HD4 AVHD) to

(and other networked IEEE-1394 devices, if any), and the following device initialization screen automatically appears.

record high definition and standard definition material from either tuner and control live TV (pause, rewind, fast forward, etc.).

Toshiba’s Symbio 160HD4 AVHD (audio/video hard drive) is a recorder designed specifically for high definition television (HDTV). The Symbio AVHD offers control over digital video recording and playback. Think of it as a “tapeless” VCR for digital television. You can pause, fast forward, reverse, or use instant replay, so you’ll never miss a thing. However, unlike a traditional VCR, where you wait for a program to finish recording before you start watching it, the Symbio AVHD allows you to “pause live TV.” For example, you can pause, rewind, and play back a program while it is being recorded. Since there is no tape to rewind, you can view a program that started recording 20 minutes ago, even while it is still recording.

When you connect a D-VHS or A/V HD device to the TV:

• The remote control keys (REW, PAUSE, PLAY, FF, etc.) are automatically activated to allow control of live TV.

• The TV Guide On Screen system is automatically configured to allow recording to the device. See Chapters 5 and 7 for details. Also see page 50 for details on setting the A/V HD device skip time.

•Some programs may not be recorded due to copy protection restrictions.

NOTE: NEVER CONNECT THIS TV TO A PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC).

THIS TV IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE WITH A PC.

Note: With some devices, it may take up to one minute for this screen to appear.

1. If you have connected your IEEE-1394 device to an analog input also, use the

yzx •

buttons to select the input in the ANALOG INPUT USED field; otherwise, leave it set to “None.” (See “Using analog-compatible IEEE-1394 devices” on page 22.)

2. If you want to label the device, highlight EDIT LABEL and press ENTER.

3. Press the

yzx •

buttons to select a character for the first

space and then press ENTER.

4. Repeat step 3 to enter the rest of the characters.

5. Highlight SAVE and press ENTER to save the information.

Note:

•The TV may not recognize non-A/V or non-compatible IEEE-1394 devices; however, these devices may still be available to other compatible IEEE-1394 devices on the network.

•You may be able to use the TV’s remote control to operate some compatible IEEE-1394 devices. You must first program the remote control to recognize the device (see Chapter 3). If you have an IEEE-1394 Cable box or satellite receiver, you may need to use the remote control that came with the device.

Important information regarding

IEEE-1394 device interconnection

Note:

• Do not 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.

• Place devices with the slowest communication speed 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 IEEE-1394 device, look for an “S” number near the device’s IEEE-1394 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 IEEE-1394 device has a two-position power

switch, place the device at the end of the chain or leave the power switch ON at all times. If the power switch is OFF,

it will interfere with signals from devices behind it in the chain.

• The maximum length for an IEEE-1394 cable between

each device is 15 feet.

•This TV is an IEEE-1394A device. The IEEE-1394B protocol is faster and intended to allow for longer distances between devices and multi-room systems. IEEE-1394A–to–IEEE-1394B converters (available at some electronics suppliers) may allow compatibility of IEEE-1394B devices with your existing IEEE-1394A devices.

•The transmission capability of IEEE-1394 cable used with this TV must be S400 (400 Mbps maximum).

4. Highlight the device you want to edit and press ENTER.

5. Follow the on-screen prompts to modify the device information.

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

G-LINK™ connection

This connection is necessary for the TV Guide On Screen™ system to work with your cable box to receive program listings and to enable TV Guide On Screen recording features with your VCR.

Note: This connection is

After you connect your devices to the TV, you will need to connect the G-LINK cable (either of the dual-wand IR blaster cables included with your TV) from your VCR and Cable box (if applicable) to the G-LINK jack on the TV.

Note: TV Guide On Screen program data is available through the ANT-1 and ANT-2 antenna inputs and also through the VIDEO 1 inputs if you have a cable box connected to VIDEO 1. TV Guide On Screen program data is not available through any other inputs on this TV. See the connection information on pages 13–18.

The G-LINK connection is necessary to enable the following features of your TV Guide On Screen™ system:

•If you have a Cable box, you need to connect the G-LINK cable from the Cable box to the G-LINK jack to receive the TV Guide On Screen system’s program listings for your Cable service.

•If you have a VCR, you need to connect the G-LINK cable from the VCR to the G-LINK jack to use the TV Guide On Screen system’s recording features.

To connect to the G-LINK jack:

1. Locate the infrared sensor on the front of your VCR or Cable box. The sensor is marked on some devices.*

2. Align one of the G-LINK (IR blaster) cable’s wands about 1 inch away from the infrared sensor on the front of the VCR and attach it using double-sided mounting tape.

If you have a Cable box, attach the other wand in a similar manner. (See illustration at right.)

Note: If you do not have a Cable box, coil the second wand with a rubber band and leave it behind the TV.

3. Plug the G-LINK (IR blaster) cable’s plug into the TV’s G-LINK jack.

For details on setting up the TV Guide On Screen system:

See Chapter 5.

For details on using the TV Guide On Screen interactive program guide:

Chapter 3: Using the remote control

Programming the remote control to operate your other devices

Device code setup

1. Refer to the multi-brand remote control device code table on pages 32–33 to find the code for the brand of your device.

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

2. Press MODE until the Mode indicator for the device (CBL/SAT, VCR/PVR, DVD, AUDIO 1, AUDIO 2) lights up.

3. While holding down the RECALL button, press the Channel Number buttons to enter the four-digit code for your brand of device. If a valid code is entered, the mode indicator will blink twice. If an invalid code is entered, the mode indicator will blink one long blink.

4. Point the remote control at the device and press POWER to test the code.

If the device responds to the remote control:

You have entered the correct code.

If the device does not respond to the remote control:

You may have entered the wrong code. Repeat steps 3 and 4 using another 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.

5. Press MODE to select the TV mode to control the TV.

Note:

• Although the TV remote control includes codes for many devices, it may not include codes for some or all of the features on certain devices you wish to control. If you are unable to program the TV remote control to operate your device or some of the features on that device, use the device’s remote control or the controls on the device.

• Each 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.

Searching and sampling the code of a device (8500)

If you do not know the device code for a particular device, you can cycle the remote control through the available codes for that device mode and sample the functions to find the code that operates the target device. The keys available to be sampled, provided they are applicable to that mode, are POWER, 1, VOL y, CH y, and PLAY. Invalid keys will be ignored while in program mode.

To cycle through each available device code and sample its functions:

1. Press MODE to select the mode you want to set up.

2. While holding down RECALL, press 8–5–0–0. The remote control will enter program mode.

3. Point the remote control at the target device and press POWER (or other function buttons that are available to be sampled).

4. If the device responds to the remote control:

Press RECALL to store the device code. The mode indicator will blink twice and the remote control will exit the program mode.

If the device does not respond to the remote control:

Press y, and then press POWER. Repeat this step until the device responds to the remote control, and then press RECALL.

Note: When a search cycle is completed, the mode indicator will blink three times. The remote control will begin to cycle through the available codes again. If no key is pressed within 10 seconds while programming, the remote control will exit the program mode and return to the previous code.
