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; or

• 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 LEDs are blinking, you will need to turn the TV off and then on again to restart the lamp.

Chapter 2: Using the remote control

Installing the remote control batteries

To install the remote control batteries:

1 Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote control.

2 Install two “AA” size alkaline batteries. Match the + and

– symbols on the batteries to the symbols on the battery compartment.

3 Slide the battery cover on to the remote control until the

lock snaps.

Caution: Always dispose of batteries in a designated disposal location. Never throw batteries into a fire.

Note:

• Be sure to use AA size alkaline batteries.

• Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.

• Batteries should always be disposed of with the

environment in mind. Always dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

• If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the operating range becomes reduced, replace batteries with new ones.

• When necessary to replace batteries in the remote control, always replace both batteries with new ones. Never mix battery types or use new and used batteries in combination.

• Always remove the batteries from remote control if they are dead or if the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time. This will prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment.

Remote control effective range

For optimum performance, aim the remote control directly at the TV and obstructions between the remote control and the TV.

Chapter 2: Using the remote control

Using the remote control to operate your other devices

Your TV remote control has one dedicated TV mode and five programmable multi-brand modes: CABLE/SAT, DVD, VCR/PVR, AUX 1, and AUX 2. The default device modes and programmable device modes are listed below.

Note: The TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate most Toshiba devices. To operate a non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba device that the remote control is not preprogrammed to operate, you will need to program the remote control. See “Programming the remote control to operate your other devices” (at right).

Note: Although your new TV’s 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’s 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.

Multi-brand video/audio devices

Programming the remote control to operate your other devices

Device code setup

Find the code for your device brand in the remote control device code table on pages 18–21.

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

2 Press the applicable mode select button (CABLE/SAT,

DVD, VCR/PVR, AUX 1, or AUX 2), until the device

button LED blinks 3 times.

3 While holding down E, press the Number buttons to

enter the device category code “0–5” shown below plus four-digit code for your device.

• If a valid code is entered, the device button LED will

blink twice.

• If an invalid code is entered, the device button LED will

blink one long blink.

4 Point the remote control at the device and press p 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,

repeat steps 3 and 4 using another code.

Note: After programming the remote control, make sure all necessary keys on the TV remote control (in addition to p) 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.

Chapter 2: Using the remote control

5 To control the TV, press the “TV mode select button.”

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 original remote control (or the control buttons on the device).

• Every 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 p, 1, z, <, and S. Invalid keys will be ignored while in program mode.

Using the volume lock feature (8000)

By default (factory setting), the remote control’s volume keys (z Z and W) are locked to the “TV” device mode.

The remote control will operate the TV’s volume, even when “TV” is not the current device mode. (This includes all remote control device modes except AUX 1 and AUX 2).

If you unlock the remote control’s volume keys, each device mode will have its own volume (if the device ID has volume data). The remote control will operate the volume of the device associated with the current device mode. (This includes all remote control device modes.)

If you lock the remote control’s volume keys to a specific device mode, the remote control will operate the volume of the device associated with the locked mode, even when the locked mode is not the current device mode. (This includes all device modes except AUX 1 and AUX 2).

When the remote control is in AUX1 (or AUX 2) mode, the remote control will operate the volume of the device associated with the AUX 1 (or AUX 2) mode, even when the volume is locked to another mode.

See “Using the remote control to operate your other devices” on page 16.

To lock the remote control’s volume keys to a specific mode (CABLE/SAT in this example):

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

1 Press device button to select the mode you want to set up. 2 While holding down E, press 8, 5, 0, 0. The remote

control will enter program mode.

3 Point the remote control at the target device and press p

(or other function buttons that are available to be sampled).

4 If the device responds to the remote control:

Press E to store the device code. The device button LED will blink two times and the remote control will exit the program mode.

If the device does not respond to the remote control:

Press B, and then press p. Repeat this step until the device responds to the remote control, and then press E.

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

1 Press CABLE/SAT. 2 While holding down the E button, press 8, 0, 0, 0. 3 Press z. The CABLE/SAT button LED will blink two

times (locked). The remote control’s volume keys will now operate the

volume of the device associated with the CABLE/SAT mode, even when CABLE/SAT is not the current device mode (for all device modes except AUX 1 and AUX 2).

To unlock the remote control’s volume keys:

1 While holding down E, press 8, 0, 0, 0. 2 Press Z. The CABLE/SAT button LED will blink four

times (unlocked).

Operational feature reset (8900)

This feature clears all programmed remote control features not related to “Device code setup” and resets the volume lock to the “TV” device mode.

To reset the remote control:

While holding down E, press 8, 9, 0, 0. The Device button LED will respond with four blinks.

TV’s channel memory

When you press < or , on the remote control or TV control panel, your TV will stop only on the channels you programmed into 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 in the channel memory.

Note:

• You must configure the antenna input source before

programming channels (- page 25).

• If the Antenna 1 input signal type is set to Cable, the automatic channel programming process erases channels that were previously programmed into the TV’s memory.

• If the Antenna 1 input signal type is set to Antenna, the automatic channel programming process adds newly found channels to the existing set of programmed channels. (and does NOT erase channels that were previously programmed into the TV’s memory.) To remove an antenna source channel from the memory, you must manually delete it.

• 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 when the antenna input is configured for Cable will take substantially longer than when the antenna input is configured for Antenna. This is normal; however, once channel programming is finished, you should not have to repeat the programming process again unless your Cable TV service lineup changes significantly.

• If you have a CableCARD for ANT 1 is disabled because the CableCARD automatically loads the Cable channel list into the TV’s channel memory. See the Installation Guide for details on
