Important notes about your DLPTM projection TV

1) The light source for this TV is a projection lamp unit with a limited service life. When the lamp wears out, the picture may become dark or black or the lamp may fail, at which time you must replace the lamp unit. See “Lamp unit replacement and care” on pages 119–121.

2) If you set the lamp mode to Low Power, each time you turn on the TV, the lamp will start out in High Bright mode but will switch to Low Power mode in approximately 1 minute. You will notice a change in screen brightness when this happens. This is normal and is not a malfunction. not a malfunction. (See page 80 for details.)

3) Each time you turn on the TV, it may take several minutes to go from no picture to full picture brightness.

4) The display on this TV is manufactured using a chip that may contain up to 1.3 million microscopic mirrors. Each of these micromirrors measures less than one-fifth the width of a human hair and represents a single pixel on the television display. These micromirrors are mounted on tiny hinges that enable them to tilt either toward the light source (ON) or away from it (OFF). Occasionally, one of these mirrors may become inoperative, creating a light or dark pixel on the projection surface. This is a structural property of DLP™ projection TV technology, and is not a sign of malfunction. Such pixels are not visible when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing distance (see item 29 on page 4).

5) Depending on the media you are viewing, it is possible, although unlikely, that a limited number of viewers may see a “rainbow effect” on the screen, which can, in rare instances, result in eye fatigue. This is a rare occurrence related to technology of this type, and is not a sign of TV malfunction.

6) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and as directly in front of it as possible. The picture quality may be affected by your viewing position and length of viewing time. If you sit too closely to the TV for too long, you may suffer from eye fatigue. See item 29 on page 4.

7) This TV contains several cooling fans to moderate the

internal temperature. You may be able to hear the fans

for several minutes after the TV is turned off. This is a function of the Quick Restart standby mode and is not a sign of TV malfunction. You can set the Quick Restart feature to stop the fans as soon as the TV is turned off. See “Setting the Quick Restart feature” on page 56.

8) The yellow and blue LED lights at the bottom center of the TV front indicate your TV’s current status. If either light flashes, see “LED indications” on page 115 for details.

9) When you turn on the TV after connecting the power cord, “Now Booting…” will be displayed on the screen until the picture appears or the yellow LED will blink until the TV turns into standby mode.

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Overview of cable types

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, separate audio cables are not 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.

●

IEEE1394 cable is for use with video devices with compressed digital video output that meet CEA specifications for IEEE1394. 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 any IEEE1394 cable used with this TV must be S400 (400 Mbps maximum).

•IEEE1394 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

™

terminal (page 25) to enable TV Guide On Screen™ recording features (Chapters 5 and 7). The other can be used with the TV’s IR pass-through feature (page 21) and TheaterNet

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 terminal. See page 20.

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting IEEE1394 video devices

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 want 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 cables

Note: The transmission capability of IEEE1394 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 IEEE1394 devices” below).

TV back panel

Supported signals

The IEEE1394 ports support only the signals listed below. Even though 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.

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 digital and analog modes, as needed, when the initial device access is initiated using the TheaterNet button.

See page 45 for details on using the TheaterNet feature.

Using TheaterNet™ on-screen device control

You can use the TheaterNet feature to control some IEEE1394 devices using on-screen control icons. See page 45 for details on setting up and using the TheaterNet feature.

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 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 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).
