Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your

new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:

The Issue

• The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend

and larger flat panel displays are popular purchases. However,

flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands

or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

• Flat panel displays that are

inappropriately situated on dressers,

bookcases, shelves, desks,

speakers, chests or carts may fall

over and cause injury.

TOSHIBA Cares!

• The consumer electronics industry

is committed to making home

entertainment enjoyable and safe.

Tune Into Safety

•

One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations

for the safe installation and use of your flat panel display.

• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for

proper use of this product.

• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and

television sets.

• Don’t place flat panel displays on

furniture that can easily be used as

steps, such as a chest of drawers.

• Remember that children can

become excited while watching a

program, especially on a “larger

than life” flat panel display. Care

should be taken to place or install

the display where it cannot be

pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

• Care should be taken to route all cords and

cables connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be

pulled or grabbed by curious children.

Wall Mounting: If you decide to wall mount your

flat panel display, always:

• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display

manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such

as UL, CSA, ETL).

• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount

manufacturers.

• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your

flat panel display, contact your retailer about professional

installation.

• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is

appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted

to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you

are unsure, contact a professional

installer.

• A minimum of two people are

required for installation. Flat panel

displays can be heavy.

CHILD SAFETY:

Care

For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA

TV, follow these recommendations and precautions:

29) If you use the TV in a room whose temperature is 32 ºF

(0 ºC) or below, the picture brightness may vary until the

LCD warms up. This is not a sign of malfunction.

30) Always unplug the TV before

cleaning. Gently wipe the

display panel surface (the TV

screen) using a dry, soft cloth

only (cotton, flannel, etc.). A

hard cloth may damage the

surface of the panel. Avoid

contact with alcohol, thinner, benzene, acidic or alkaline

solvent cleaners, abrasive cleaners, or chemical cloths,

which may damage the surface. Never spray volatile

compounds such as insecticide on the cabinet. Such

products may damage or discolor the cabinet.

In addition, gently wipe the luster finishing portion of your

TV with the enclosed cleaning cloth after removing any dirt

or dust from the surface. Harsh rubbing or use of a dirty

cleaning cloth or stiff cloth will scratch your TV.

31)

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

cabinet slots.

32) While it is thundering, do not touch the connecting cables

or apparatus.

33) 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.

34) 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.

35)

WARNING: RISK OF

SERIOUS PERSONAL

INJURY OR EQUIPMENT

DAMAGE!

Never strike the screen with a sharp

or heavy object.

36) • The LCD screen of this product can be damaged by

ultraviolet radiation from the sun. When selecting a

location for the television, avoid locations where the

screen may be exposed to direct sunlight, such as in

front of a window.

• Never touch, press, or place anything on the LCD

screen. These actions will damage the LCD screen. If

you need to clean the LCD screen, follow the

instructions in item 30 on this page.

Service

37)

Never attempt to service the TV yourself. Opening and

removing the covers may expose you to dangerous

voltage or other hazards. Failure to follow this WARNING

may result in death or serious injury. Refer all servicing not

specified in this manual to a Toshiba Authorized Service

Center.

38) If you have the TV serviced:

• Ask the service technician to use only replacement

parts specified by the manufacturer.

• Upon completion of service, ask the service technician

to perform routine safety checks to determine that the

TV is in safe operating condition.

39) The cold cathode fluorescent lamp in the LCD panel

contains a small amount of mercury.

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Overview of cable types

Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell audio/video

devices. Before purchasing any cables, be sure of connector

types required by your devices and the length of each cable.

Coaxial (F-type) cable

Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your antenna,

cable TV service, and/or cable converter box to the ANT/

CABLE input on your TV.

Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)

Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in sets of

three, and are for use with video devices with analog audio and

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

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 (red/green/blue)

Component video cables come in sets of three and are for use

with video devices with component video output.

(ColorStream

is Toshiba’s brand of component video.) 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 (with HDMI Logo “ ”)

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use

with devices with an HDMI output. An 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 (- pages 16, 17 and 19).

Note: HDMI cable provides better picture performance than a

standard (composite) video or S-video cable.

Dual-wand IR blaster cable

Dual-wand IR blaster cable is for use with video devices with

IR (infrared) remote control. This cable can be used with the

TV’s IR pass-through feature (- page 15).

Optical audio cable

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 (- page 18).

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable is for connecting a PC to

the TV’s PC IN terminal (- page 19).

Note: Separate audio cables are required for a complete

connection.

About the connection illustrations

You can connect different types and brands of devices to your

TV in several different configurations. The connection

illustrations in this manual are representative of typical device

connections only. The input/output terminals on your devices

may differ from those illustrated herein. For details on

connecting and using your specific devices, refer to each

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting a device to the IR OUT

infrared terminal using the IR

blaster cable for IR pass-through

device control

You can use the TV’s IR OUT terminal (infrared pass-

through) to remotely operate (through the TV) many infrared

remote-controlled devices (such as Toshiba infrared remote-

controlled VCRs or DVD players) 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.

You will need:

• dual-wand IR blaster cable (- page 12)

• other audio/video cables as required to connect the device(s)

to the TV (- pages 13–17)

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.)

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 the TV’s IR OUT

terminal.

To control the device(s):

Point either the device’s remote control or the TV remote

control (that you previously programmed to operate the

device; - Chapter 3) toward 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.

• The IR pass-through feature does not support all

IR-controlled devices; satisfactory performance may not be

attainable with certain devices.

Front of IR-controlled DVD player (for example)

Front of IR-controlled audio device (for example)

Infrared

sensor

IR blaster cable wand

(approx.1 inch from device)

TV upper back panel

*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 point at which 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 a digital audio system

The TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal outputs a Dolby

Digital g or 2-channel down-mixed PCM (pulse-code

modulation) signal for use with an external Dolby

Digital

decoder or other external audio system with optical audio

input.

You will need:

• optical audio cable (Use an optical audio cable that has the

larger “TosLink” connector and not the smaller “mini-

optical” connector.)

To control the audio:

1 Turn on the TV and the digital audio device.

2 Press Y on the TV’s remote control and open the

Audio menu.

3 Highlight Audio Setup and press T.

4 In the Optical Output Format field, select either

Dolby Digital or PCM, depending on your device

(

- “Selecting the optical audio output format” on

page 52).

Note:

• Some audio systems may not be compatible with Dolby

Digital bitstream signals. Older audio systems that are not

compatible with standard optical out signals may not work

properly, creating a high noise level that may damage

speakers or headphones. THIS DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED

BY YOUR WARRANTY.

• The DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal may not output some

digital audio sources because of copy restrictions.

* Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.

(PC)

With either the PC IN or HDMI connection, you can watch

your computer’s display on the TV and hear the sound from the

TV’s speakers.

To connect a PC to the PC IN terminal on the TV:

When connecting a PC to the PC IN terminal on the TV, use an

analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable and a PC audio cable.

• To use a PC, set the monitor output resolution on the PC

before connecting it to the TV. The PC IN terminal can

accept and display VGA, SVGA, XGA, WXGA, and SXGA

signal formats. For detailed signal specifications, see page

69.

• To display the optimum picture, use the PC setting feature

(

- “Using the PC settings feature” on page 56).

Note:

• The PC audio input terminal on the TV is shared with the

HDMI 1 analog audio input terminal (- page 57).

• Some PC models cannot be connected to this TV.

• An adapter is not needed for computers with a compatible

mini D-sub15-pin terminal.

• Depending on the DVD’s title and the specifications of the

PC on which you are playing the DVD-Video, some scenes

may be skipped or you may not be able to pause during

multi-angle scenes.

•

*NC=Not connected

To connect a PC to the HDMI terminal on the TV:

When connecting a PC to the HDMI terminal on the TV, use

an HDMI-to-DV1 adapter cable and an analog audio cable.

If connecting a PC with an HDMI terminal, use an HDMI cable

(type A connector). Separate PC audio cable is not necessary

(- page 16).

The HDMI input can accept and display VGA, SVGA, XGA,

WXGA, SXGA, 480i (60Hz), 480p (60Hz), 720p (60Hz),

1080i (60Hz), and 1080p (24Hz/60Hz) signal formats. For

Chapter 3: Using the remote control

Preparing the remote control

for use

Your TV remote control can operate your TV and many other

devices such as cable converter boxes, satellite receivers,

VCRs, DVD players, and HTIBs (home theater in a box), even

if they are different brands.

If you have a Toshiba device:

Your TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate most

Toshiba devices (- page 24).

If you have a non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba device

that the remote control is not preprogrammed to

operate:

You can program the TV remote control so it will operate the

other device (- pages 22–32).

Installing 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: Batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat

such as sunshine, fire or the like.

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 batteries from the 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.

Chapter 3: Using the remote control

Using the remote control to operate

your other devices

Your TV remote control has one dedicated TV mode and four

programmable multi-brand modes: CABLE/SAT, HD DVD,

DVD, and VCR/PVR. 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.

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 26–32.

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,

HD DVD, DVD, or VCR/PVR), until the mode select

button blinks 3 times.

3 While holding down E, press the five-digit device code

for your device.

• If a valid code is entered, the mode select button will

blink twice.

• If an invalid code is entered, the mode select button 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.

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.

Chapter 3: Using 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.

To cycle through each available device code and

sample its functions:

1 Press the appropriate mode select button on the remote

control.

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 mode select

button 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

Note: When a search cycle is completed, the mode select

button 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.

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.

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.

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.

See “Using the remote control to operate your other devices”

on page 24.

To lock the remote control’s volume keys to a specific

mode (CABLE/SAT in this example):

1 Press CABLE/SAT.

2 While holding down the E button, press 8, 0, 0, 0.

3 Press z. The CABLE/SAT mode select button 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.

To unlock the remote control’s volume keys:

1 While holding down E, press 8, 0, 0, 0.

2 Press Z. The CABLE/SAT mode select button will blink

four times.

The CABLE/SAT mode will be 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 mode select

button will respond with four blinks.

Configuring the input source for the

ANT/CABLE terminal

To configure the ANT/CABLE input source:

1 Press Y and open the Setup menu.

2 Highlight Installation and press T. A new set of

Installation menu icons will appear, as shown below.

3 Open the Terrestrial menu, highlight Input

Configuration, and press T.

Programming channels into the

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:

• If the ANT/CABLE 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 ANT/CABLE 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 ANT/CABLE input is

configured for Cable will take substantially longer than when

the ANT/CABLE 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.

To program channels automatically:

1 You must configure the ANT/CABLE input source, if

you have not already done so (

- page 36).

2 From the Setup menu, highlight Installation and press

T. A new set of Installation menu icons will appear.

If the channel is not found, a message (“Not Found”) will

appear.

To remove a channel from the channel memory:

Highlight the checked box next to the channel number you

want to remove, and then press T to uncheck the box.

To save your new settings:

Highlight Done and press T.

Note: A video preview of the currently highlighted channel is

provided to assist you in adding/deleting channels.

To revert to your original settings:

Highlight Cancel and press T before saving.

To remove all channels from the channel memory:

Highlight Reset and press T, and then highlight Done and

press T.

To remove encrypted channels from the channel

memory:

by programming channels, you can remove the unwanted

encrypted (non-viewable) channel while you are channel

surfing. When you tune into an encrypted channel, the

following message will appear.

Press 1 while the message is on the screen to remove the

unnecessary channel from the channel list.

Chapter 6: Using the TV’s features

Using the digital audio selector

You can use the Digital Audio Selector to conveniently

switch between audio tracks on a digital channel (for those

channels that have multiple audio tracks). This temporarily

overrides the audio track chosen by the language option under

Audio Setup (- “Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts” below).

To use the digital audio selector:

1 Press Y and open the Audio menu.

2 Highlight Digital Audio Selector and press T.

3 Press B or b to select Audio, and then press C or c to

select the desired service.

4 Press O.

Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts

The Multi-channel TV Sound (MTS) feature allows you to

output high-fidelity stereo sound. MTS also can transmit a

Second Audio Program (SAP) containing a second language,

music, or other audio information (when provided by

individual stations).

When the TV receives a stereo or SAP broadcast, the word

“STEREO” or “SAP” appears on-screen when E is pressed.

The MTS feature is only available for analog signals on the

ANT/CABLE input (- page 60).

To listen to stereo sound:

1 From the Audio menu, highlight Audio Setup and press

2 In the MTS field, select Stereo.

3 To save the new settings, highlight Done and press T.

To reset the settings to the factory defaults, highlight

Reset and press T.

Note:

• You can typically leave the TV in Stereo mode because

it will automatically output the type of sound being

broadcast (stereo or monaural).

• If the stereo sound is noisy, select Mono to reduce the

noise.

To listen to an alternate language on an ATSC digital

station (if available):

Highlight the Language field in step 2 above, and then press

C or c to select the language you prefer.

To listen to a second audio program on an analog

station (if available):

Select SAP in step 2.

Note:

• A second audio program (SAP) can be heard only on those

TV stations that offer it. For example, a station might

broadcast another language as a second audio program. If

you have SAP on, you will see the current program on the

screen but hear the other language instead of the program’s

normal audio.

• If you have SAP on and the station you are watching is not

broadcasting a second audio program, the station’s normal
