considerations. For disposal or recycling

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

29) 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.

30) Always unplug the TV before cleaning. Never use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Clean only with a soft, dry cloth. Do not spray volatile compounds, such as insecticide, on the cabinet. This may discolor or damage the cabinet.

31) WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

32) 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.

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

Service

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 128–130.

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 sign of malfunction. (See page 80 for details.)

3) Every time you turn on the TV, it may take several minutes for the picture to obtain full brightness.

4) This TV’s display is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology; however, an occasional pixel (dot of light) may show constantly on the screen. This is a structural property of DLP™ (Digital Light Processing™) technology in the TV 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™ feature 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 124 for details.

9) If you unplug the power cord, when you plug the power cord in again the message “Now Booting…” will display on the screen until the picture appears or the yellow LED will blink until the TV enters standby mode (plugged in but not powered on). This is normal and is not a sign of malfunction.

10) When connecting an external A/V device, if you connect the

device’s video output to the TV and the device’s audio output to a separate audio system, the picture and sound may not synchronize completely.

11) When playing a video game on this TV, there may be a slight

delay between your command (e.g., joystick, keyboard) and the picture movement on the screen.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT “HOT LAMP RESTART”

When the TV has been powered on long enough for the lamp unit to get hot, it may take several minutes for the picture to appear on-screen in the following situations:

• When the Quick Restart™ feature is set to OFF and you turn the TV off and then on again within a few minutes.

• If the TV is on when a short-term power failure, power surge, or other similar power failure occurs, such that the TV loses and regains

power within a few minutes.

This is a property of DLP TV lamp technology and is NOT a sign of malfunction.

If this occurs, the yellow LED on the TV front panel will blink (and the blue LED will be lit solid) until the TV is finished restarting the lamp and the normal picture appears. If BOTH yellow and blue LEDs are blinking at a one-second rate, you will need to turn the TV off and then on again to restart the lamp.

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 21 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 25–27.

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 28) 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 22) 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 24.

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.

• IE EE1394 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 50 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 50 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).

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 38–39 to find the code for the brand of your device.

If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you find 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. To control the TV, repeatedly press MODE to select “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 want 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.

Programming channels into the TV’s channel memory

When you press CHANNEL y or z on the remote control or TV control 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 46).

• 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 14), channel programming for ANT 1 is disabled because the CableCARD™ automatically loads the Cable channel list into the TV’s channel memory.

4. Open the Terrestrial menu, highlight Channel Program, and press ENTER.

5. Highlight ANT 1 or ANT 2, depending on which antenna input you want to program channels for, and then

Chapter 6: Setting up your TV

Setting up and using TheaterNet™ on-screen device control

The TheaterNet feature allows you to control many brands of IEEE1394 and/or infrared remote-controlled A/V devices through your TV using on-screen control icons and the TV’s remote control.

Note:

• Although the TheaterNet on-screen device control feature 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 TheaterNet feature to operate your device or some of the features on that device, use the device’s remote control or the controls on the device.

• For IR pass-through device control information, see “Connecting a device to the IR blaster (IR pass-through)” on page 22.

Setting up TheaterNet

All device types except IEEE1394 require the following setup process before you can control them using the TheaterNet onscreen icons.

All compatible IEEE1394 devices are automatically recognized by the TheaterNet feature and do not require setup.

Note: See page 25 for details about the IEEE1394 ports. If your IEEE1394 device is not recognized through the IEEE1394 port or through the TheaterNet feature, it may be possible to set it up for IR pass-through control as an infrared device (see page 22).

To set up TheaterNet device control:

1. Make sure you have properly connected your infrared remote-controlled device(s). See page 22 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, as shown in step 4).

Chapter 6: Setting up your TV

Setting the AVHD device skip time

When you connect an external AVHD (audio/video hard drive) device—such as the Toshiba Symbio™ AVHD Recorder—to one of the TV’s IEEE1394 ports, you can use the AVHD device skip time feature to set the number of minutes the device will skip forward or backward when you press the SKIP buttons.

Note:

• This TV will work best with the Toshiba AVHD Recorder for recording high definition and standard definition material from either tuner and for controlling live TV (pause/rewind/ etc.). When the Symbio AVHD Recorder is connected to the TV, the remote control keys (LIVE, STOP, REW, PAUSE, PLAY, etc.) are automatically activated to allow pausing of live TV.

• When you connect an AVHD (or D-VHS) device, the TV Guide On Screen™ system is automatically configured to allow recording. See page 26 for device connection information. See Chapters 5 and 7 for details about setting up and using the TV Guide On screen™ system.

To set the AVHD device skip time:

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 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, the channel last selected from the multi-window 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).

To tune to the next programmed channel:

Press CHANNEL y or z on the remote control or TV control panel.

Note:

• This feature will not work unless you program channels into the TV’s channel memory (see page 47).

• 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.

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 47) or the channel add/ delete function (page 48)—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.

The TV will return to the memorized channel one time only. Once you press CH RTN and then change channels again, the CH RTN 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.
