INTRODUCTION
Toshiba HD-C26H Digital High Definition Receiver opens up to a new world of free-to-air terrestrial HDTV (Hig h
Definition Television) and SDTV (Standard Definition Television) programs. The receiver can receive channels
from both VHF and UHF bands. All the major terrestrial free-to-air station numbers currently available in your
area are listed in the on-screen menu. To watch a channel, simply select the channel number and you will be
accessing a wide range of high quality digital programs.
The receiver is fully MPEG 2 / DVB-T compliant, delivering high definition crystal-sharp video and Dolby® Digital
sound. As it supports a channel frequency range of 51-858MHz, it can be easily programmed for all the channels
within the VHF and UHF frequency bands. To find out the channel frequencies in your area, please contact your
local service provider.
FEATURES
X HD 1080i/720p/576p Capability
High Definition (HD) brings a wide-screen format to the home television as well as a sharper picture. This unit
accepts all DTV formats, including 1080i, 720p and 576p.
X HDMI™
Toshiba HD-C26H incorporates the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) technology to provide the best
video and audio quality over a single cable.
X WEEKLY EPG
Programs for the whole week are available in the EPG provided the broadcasters broadcast these data.
X Video Format Auto-Switch
The HD-C26H receiver has the capability of automatically switching the output video format to match the native
video format coming from the broadcaster. This reduces possible distortion due to up/down conversions.
X Dolby® Digital
Dolby® Digital is the surround sound technology used in theatres showing the latest movies, and is now
available to reproduce this realistic effect in the home. You can enjoy motion pictures and live concert TV
programs with this dynamic realistic sound by connecting HD-C26H to a 6-channel amplifier equipped with a
Dolby® Digital decoder.
X PIP (Picture-in-Picture)
This feature gives you the ability to view 2 different live channels (from the same frequency) at the same time.
The PIP window can be moved to any corner of the screen or be formed as a double window.
X Teletext/Fastext
Fastext is a method of viewing Teletext pages by related subjects grouped by the broadcast studio. You can
access any given topic shown on the screen simply by pressing the corresponding colored text select button on
the remote control. Note that the Fastext feature is not available in Australia.

Check which connection you are using, RGB or YPBPR. Then
check whether the HD MODE S witch is set to the correct mode.
Check the video cable(s) are correctly and firm ly connected.
Try "MANUAL SETUP" to scan these missing channels.
This phenomenon is caused b y unexpected frequency offset, for
instance, in Sunshine Coast Austra lia, channels 47 and 65 are
transmitted on 662.625 and 788. 625MHz by 125kHz offset to the
legitimate frequencies 662.5 and 78 8.5MHz. HD-C26H can receive
these channels by “AUTO SCAN” m ost of the time, but we suggest
that you use “MANUAL SET UP” when installing the receiver f or the
first time. Once the receiver pick s up the signal, all the transm ission
parameters will be stored in the rece iver’s memory.
(a) Try "AUTO SCAN" to scan all the channels.
(b)
scan them one by one.
(a) Check the f requency that you entered is exactly the c enter
frequency of the wanted channel.

* Aspect Ratio: It is the ratio of the width of the screen to the height. The two relevant digital TV f ormats are
16:9 (wide-screen) or 4:3 (the tradition al screen ratio). 16:9 is mor e ergonomically suitable for the hum an eye.
* Bandwidth: It is the frequenc y range that allows for carrying a certain rad io signal.
* Coaxial Cable: A type of cable used to tr ansmit high frequency signals e.g. fr om the VHF/U HF antenna to the
terrestrial Digital TV receiver.
* Composite Video: There are three elem ents of the video system: First - the "active video" which means the
picture to be displayed on the screen an d its ass ociated colors; second - the "sync" decides where to place
each pixel on the screen; third - the "blanking” tells the displa y when to turn off the electron b eam so no retrace
across the screen. T hese three elements combined together is c alled "composite video" when connecting to a
display through connectors.
* Dolby® Digital: Dolby® Digital is a m ethod of transmitting and storing multi-channel so undtracks via newer
digital media such as DVD, digita l cable, digital TV (DTV), and satell ite transmissions.
* DVB: Abbreviation for "Digital Video Broadcasting". An internat ional organization created in October 1993,
whose primary objective is to achie ve a common framework for all technical platforms of digital broadcasting
systems including DVB-C (cable), D VB-S (satellite) and DVB-T (terr estrial), etc.
* EPG: Stands f or "Electronic Program Guide". It is a n application th at allows viewers to navigate through the
large number of channels off ered by digital TV broadcasters.
* Frequency: The property of a sign al measured in cycles per second (=Her tz).
* HDCP: HDCP is a specification developed by Intel Corporation to protect digital en tertainment content across
the HDMI interface.
* HDMI: Abbreviation for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. HD MI combines high-definition video and m ulti-
channel audio in a single digital interf ace to provide crystal-clear digital qua lity over a single cable.
* Letterbox: The picture with as pect ratio 16:9 in a 4:3 TV screen with blank lines on top and bottom . It is the
means to watch a wide screen TV pro gram on a 4:3 TV screen.
* Megahertz (MHz): Millions of cycles per second, which describes f requencies of radio wave or electr ic current.
* Mini D-Sub 15-pin Cable: A type of video cable used to carry analogue RG B video signals.
* OSD: Stands f or "On Screen Display". It provides clearer menu functions by using the TV or monitor to display
the menu while the controls are on the remote control.
* RF Channel: Radio Freq uency Channel, for instance channel 28 for SBS Network in analogue T V transmission.
However, in digital TV, one RF c hannel may carry 4 to 6 sub-channels lik e SBS HD and SBS Digital.
* RGB: Stands for Red, Green and Blue. RGB video is the highes t quality video currently used i n the AV industry.
* S-Video (also called Y/C): The standard for the wa y a video signal is carri ed on the cable. Y repres ents
brightness and C represents color. S-Video cables hav e separate wires f or the color and brightness so it offers
a better picture quality than the com posite video.
* VHF: Sta nds f or "Ver y Hi gh Fre quency", s tarts from 30 to 300MH z c orresponding to channels 2-12, including
Bands I, II and III.

* Video format: It is the picture resolution of the video defined as number of pixels per line x number of
horizontal lines, interlaced/progres sive.
For Standard Definition (SD), the picture resolution is 720 pixels × 576 lines, interlaced (576i).
For High Definition (HD), the m inimum picture resolution is 720 × 576, progressive (576p)
Other HD formats are 1920 × 1080i a nd 1280 × 720p.
* UHF: Stands for "Ultra High Frequency", starts from 300 to 3000MHz corresponding to channels 13-69,
including Bands IV and V.
