Connecting your TV  
Note: Cables are not supplied with your TV.  
●
Coaxial cable is the cable that comes in from your antenna, cable TV  
service, or cable converter box. Coaxial cable uses “F” connectors.  
Coaxial (antenna) cable  
●
Standard A/V (audio/video) cables usually come in sets of three, and  
are typically color-coded according to use: yellow for video, red for  
stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio.  
On your TV’s back panel, the standard A/V inputs are color-coded in  
the same manner as the cables.  
S-Video cable is for use with video equipment with S-Video output.  
Component video cables come in sets of three (color-coded red,  
green and blue), and are for use with video equipment with  
component video outputs. (ColorStream® is Toshiba’s brand  
of component video.)  
Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)  
S-video cable

DVI-D digital single-link cable is for use with video equipment with  
DVI-D output (see page 13).  
Component video cables (red, green, blue)  
DVI-D digital single-link cable  
NOTE REGARDING PICTURE QUALITY  
When connecting video equipment to your Toshiba TV:  
●
For GOOD picture quality: Use a standard yellow video cable.  
●
For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has an S-video  
input, use an S-video cable instead of a standard yellow video cable.  
(You still must connect the standard red and white audio cables for full  
system connection, but do not connect the standard yellow video cable at  
the same time, or the picture performance will be unacceptable.)  
CAUTION:  
Do not plug in any power cords until you have  
finished connecting all equipment.  
●
For BEST picture quality: If your equipment has component video (or  
DVI) inputs, use either component video cables (or a DVI cable) instead  
of a standard video or S-video cable. (You still must connect the standard  
red and white audio cables for full system connection, but do not connect  
the standard yellow video cable or an S-Video cable at the same time.)  
Connecting a VCR  
This connection allows you to watch local channels and video  
programs, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and record  
from one channel while watching another channel.  
You will need:  
• two coaxial cables  
• one set of standard A/V cables  
Note:

Note:  
This connection allows you to watch DVD, VCR, and TV programs,  
and record TV programs.  
For the highest possible picture quality, use  
component video cables (or a DVI-D single-  
link cable) between the TV and DVD player.  
You can connect component video cables to  
either set of ColorStream jacks on the TV  
(HD-1 or HD-2).  
Your TV has ColorStream® (component video) inputs. Connecting  
your TV to a DVD player with component video inputs (such as a  
Toshiba DVD player with ColorStream®) can greatly enhance picture  
quality and realism.  
– To record one TV program while watching another TV program,  
tune the VCR to the channel to record, and tune the TV to the  
channel to watch.  
The ColorStream HD-1 and HD-2 jacks can  
be used with Progressive (480p, 720p) and  
Interlaced (480i,1080i) scan systems. A 1080i  
signal will provide the best picture  
performance.  
– To record a TV program while watching a DVD, tune the VCR to  
the channel to record, and select ColorStream HD-1 on the TV (see  
“Selecting the antenna input” on page 21).  
If your DVD player does not have component  
video (or DVI/HDCP,) use the S-video  
connections plus the standard audio  
connections instead. Do not connect both  
S-Video and standard video cables to VIDEO  
1 (or VIDEO2) at the same time or the  
picture performance will be unacceptable.  
See page 9.  
You will need:  
• two coaxial cables  
• one set of standard A/V cables  
• one pair of audio cables  
• one set of component video cables  
For DVI/HDCP connection, see page 13.

Using the remote control  
Preparing the remote control for use  
Your TV remote control can operate your TV and many brands of  
cable 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. See page 18.  
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. See pages 16–18.  
Installing the remote control batteries  
1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote control.  
Caution:  
• Dispose of batteries in a designated  
disposal area. Do not throw batteries into a  
fire.  
• Do not mix battery types or combine used  
batteries with new ones.  
Squeeze tab and  
lift cover.  
• If the remote control does not operate  
correctly, or if the operating range becomes  
reduced, replace both batteries with new  
ones.  
2. Install two “AA” size batteries, making sure to match the + and –  
signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.  
• If the batteries are dead or if you will not  
use the remote control for a long time,  
remove the batteries to prevent battery acid  
from leaking into the battery compartment.  
Note:  
If your Toshiba TV remote control does not  
operate all the features of your other device,  
use the original remote control for that device.  
3. Reinsert the battery cover in the remote control until the tab  
snaps.

Programming the remote control  
Your Toshiba TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate most  
Toshiba devices. To program your TV remote control to operate a  
non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba device that the remote control is not  
preprogrammed to operate, follow the steps below. For details on  
using the remote control to operate the device, see page 18.

find the code for your device. If more than one code is listed, try  
each one separately until you find one that works.  
2. Set the Device Switch to the type of device you are programming  
the remote control to operate — CBL/SAT (for a cable converter  
box or satellite receiver), VCR (for a VCR or TV/VCR combo),  
or DVD (for a DVD player or HTIB [home theater in a box]).

• If the device does not respond to another code, you will need  
to use the remote control that came with the device.  
Note:  
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.  
• 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.  
5. Remember to set the Device Switch back to TV to control the TV.  
6. For future reference, write down the code(s) you used:

In some cases you may not be able to operate your device with the TV  
remote control. Your other device may use a code that is not  
recognized by the TV remote control. If this happens, you will need  
to use the remote control provided with the device.

Using the remote control to operate your other  
devices  
If you have a non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba device that the remote  
control is not preprogrammed to operate, you must first program the  
remote control to recognize the device (if you have not already done  
so). See pages 16 and 17.  
Note:  
Even after the TV remote control is  
programmed, it may not operate certain  
features on your other device. If this happens  
and you wish to use those features, you will  
need to use the device’s original remote  
control.  
To use your TV remote control to operate a:  
• cable box or satellite receiver, set the Device Switch to CBL/SAT.  
• VCR, set the Device Switch to VCR.  
• DVD player or HTIB, set the Device Switch to DVD.  
Point the remote control  
directly at the device.

Using the auto aspect feature  
When receiving 480i signal, the TV will automatically change the  
picture size by reading aspect information (ID-1 data) from the input  
signal. If the signal does not include aspect information (ID-1 data),  
the picture size mode you set (pages 28–29) is selected.  
Note:  
• The auto aspect feature does not operate  
for the antenna (cable) and DVI input  
sources.  
• The picture size selection is possible even  
when the auto aspect is active (ON). In this  
case, the picture size you selected is valid  
until the input source is changed or auto  
aspect is turned ON again.  
To turn on the auto aspect:  
1. Press MENU, and then press x or • until the THEATER menu  
appears.

Selecting the video input source  
Note:  
Press TV/VIDEO on the remote control or TV front panel to view a  
signal from another device connected to your TV, such as a VCR or  
video disc player (see illustrations below). You can select ANT 1,  
VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3, ColorStream HD1, ColorStream  
HD2, DVI, or ANT 2 depending on which input jacks you used for  
connecting your devices (see “Connecting your TV” on page 7).  
• When ColorStream HD 1 or HD 2 is  
selected, the VIDEO OUT jack does not  
output a signal. To receive a video OUT  
signal, use a video or S-video IN  
connection instead of the ColorStream  
connection.

A second audio program (SAP) can be heard  
only on those TV stations that offer it.  
For example, a station might broadcast music  
(or another language) as a second audio  
program. If you have SAP on, you will see the  
current program on the screen but hear  
music (or the other language) instead of the  
program’s normal audio.

You can leave your 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.  
If you have SAP on and the station you are  
watching is not broadcasting a second audio  
program, the station’s normal audio will be  
output.  
To listen to SAP (if available):  
1. Press MENU, and then press x ( ) or • ( ) until the AUDIO  
menu appears.  
Occasionally no sound is output in SAP  
mode. If this happens, set the MTS feature to  
STEREO mode.  
2. Press y ( ) or z ( ) to highlight MTS.  
3. Press x ( ) or • ( ) to highlight SAP. You will hear the station’s  
second audio program (if available) from the speakers, while  
viewing the original program’s picture (see note at right).
