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 stereo A/V 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. Your TV’s standard A/V inputs are
color-coded in the same manner as the cables.
Standard stereo A/V cables
(typically color-coded yellow for video,
red and white for audio)
ꢀ
ꢀ
S-Video cable is for use with video equipment that has S-Video connectors.
Component video cables come in sets of three (typically color-coded red,
green, and blue), and are for use with video equipment that has component video
connectors. Your TV’s ColorStream® (component video) inputs are color-coded in
the same manner as the cables.
S-video cable
NOTE REGARDING PICTURE QUALITY
When connecting video equipment to your Toshiba TV:
ꢀ
ꢀ
For GOOD picture quality: Use a standard yellow video cable.
Component video cables
(typically color-coded red, green, blue)
For BETTER picture quality: If your equipment has S-video connectors, 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 a 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
connectors, use component video cables instead of a standard yellow video
cable or S-video cable. (You still must connect the standard red and white
audio cables for full system connection.)
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
one channel while watching another channel.
You will need:
• two coaxial cables
• one set of standard A/V cables
Note:
• If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono
to the VCR’s AUDIO OUT terminal using
only one audio cable.
From Cable or Antenna
Stereo VCR
• If you have a VCR with S-video, use an
S-video cable (plus the standard audio
cables) instead of a standard video cable
for better picture quality. Do not connect a
standard video cable and an S-video cable
to VIDEO-1 on the TV back (or VIDEO-3
on the TV front) at the same time, or the
picture performance will be unacceptable.

• If your DVD player does not have
component video connections, see
“Connecting a DVD player or satellite
receiver and a VCR” on page 9.
• The ColorStream (component video)
inputs on this TV are for use with devices
that output 480i interlaced signals ONLY.
This TV will not accept or display 480p or
720p progressive scan signals or 1080i
interlaced high-definition signals. If you
connect a high-definition set-top
receiver, 480p progressive scan DVD
player, or other similar device to the
TV’s ColorStream inputs, you must
switch the device’s output to 480i
interlaced mode first. Failure to do this
will cause a poor picture or no picture
to display.

Using the remote control
Preparing the remote control for use
Your TV remote control can operate your TVand most 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. See pages 14 and 17.
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 15–16.
Installing the remote control batteries
Caution:
1 Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote control.
• 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.
• Remove dead batteries immediately to
prevent battery acid from leaking into the
battery compartment.
• If you do not intend to use the remote
control for a long time, remove the
batteries.
2 Install two “AA” size batteries, making sure to match the + and –
signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.
3 Reinsert the battery cover in the remote control until the tab snaps.

Programming the remote control to operate a cable converter box,
satellite receiver, VCR, DVD player, or HTIB (home theater in a box)
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 it is not preprogrammed to operate, follow the steps
below. For details on using the remote control to operate the device, see page 17.
1 In the remote control code table (below and on the next page), find
RECALL
the code for your device. If more than one code is listed, try each one
separately until you find one that works.
POWER
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]).
3 While holding down RECALL, press the Channel Number buttons
Channel
Numbers
to enter the 3-digit code for your device.
}
4 To test the code, turn on the device, point the remote control at it,
and press POWER.
–If the correct code was entered, the device will turn off.
–If the device does not respond, repeat steps 1–4 using another code.
Note: After programming the TV remote control to operate your other device,
confirm that all necessary keys are operational. If some keys on the TV remote
control do not operate certain features on your other device, reprogram the
remote control using another code (if other codes are listed for your device).
If, after trying all listed codes, the necessary buttons do not operate your device,
use the device’s original 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:
Device Switch
DEVICE
CODE
DEVICE
CODE
Note:
Each time you change the batteries, you must 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.
Remote control codes
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.

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 every time the TV is turned
on, the channel is changed, or RECALL is pressed.
Note: The MTS feature is not available when the TV is in VIDEO mode.

You can leave your TV in STR mode because it automatically

If the stereo sound is noisy, select MONO to reduce the noise.
The word “STR” or “SAP” displays in yellow in the menu when
the TV receives the signal.
Note:
• A second audio program (SAP) can be
heard only on those TV stations that offer it.
For example, a TV 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.
To listen to SAP (if available):
1. Press MENU, and then press x or • until the AUDIO menu
appears.
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.
• 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; however, occasionally there
is no sound at all in this instance. If
this happens, set the MTS feature to
STR mode.

Troubleshooting
Before calling a service technician, please check the following table for a possible cause of the problem and some solutions.
Problem
Solution
TV will not turn on
• Make sure the power cord is plugged in, and then press POWER.
• If the TV is plugged into a surge suppressor or multiple outlet extension, make sure the
supressor/extension is plugged in and turned on.
• The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the batteries (p. 13).
Picture problems
• Check all connections (pgs. 7–12).
• If using an antenna, the reception may be poor. Use a highly directional outdoor antenna.
• The current station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another channel.
• Press the TV/VIDEO button (on the remote control or TV front panel) to make sure the correct
signal source is selected (p. 21). If no device is connected to the inputs on the TV (pgs. 7–12),
no picture will display when you select that particular signal source.
• If you have a VCR connected, press the TV/VCR button on the remote control to make sure it is
set correctly (p. 17). Also, try turning off the VCR. Also, check VCR connections (pgs. 7–11).
• Make sure the remote control device switch is set to the correct position for the signal source
you are trying to view (p. 14).
• Make sure the TV/CABLE setting (in the SET UP menu) corresponds with your signal source
(TV antenna or cable) (p. 21).
• Adjust the PICTURE menu settings (pgs. 25–27).
• If you have two VCRs connected to your TV, do not connect the same VCR to the TV’s output
and input connections at the same time (p. 11).
• If you have both a DVD player (or satellite receiver) and a VCR connected, make sure both
are not connected to the same A/V IN terminals on the TV (p. 9).
• Do not connect a standard video cable and an S-video cable to VIDEO-1 on the TV back
(or VIDEO-3 on the TV front) at the same time (pgs. 7–12).
• The SVM feature can sometimes make the picture look artificial. If SVM is on, and you want the
video material you are watching to look more natural, try turning off the SVM feature (p. 26).
Cannot view external device • If you cannot view signals from an external device connected to VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2,
signals or channel 3 or 4
VIDEO 3, and/or ColorStream, or from channels 3 or 4, set VIDEO LOCK to OFF (p. 34).
• The game timer may have enabled the video lock. Set VIDEO LOCK to OFF (p. 34).
• Make sure the remote control device switch is set to the correct position (p. 14).
Black box on screen
Poor color or no color
• Set the CLOSED CAPTION feature to OFF (p. 28).
• The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another channel.
• Adjust the TINT and/or COLOR in the PICTURE menu (p. 25).
• If you change the direction of the TV while the TV is on, the picture may suffer from color
shading. If so, turn off the TV and allow it to cool for about 30 minutes, and then turn on the TV
again. The picture should improve.
• When the ColorStream signal source is active, the VIDEO OUT terminal outputs a black-and-
white signal only. To receive a color VIDEO OUT signal, a standard video or S-video IN jack
must be used instead of the ColorStream connections (p. 21).
This TV displays
480i signals only
• This TV will not accept or display 480p or 720p progressive scan signals or 1080i interlaced
high-definition signals. If you connect a high-definition set-top receiver, 480p progressive scan
DVD player, or other similar device to the TV’s ColorStream inputs, you must switch the
device’s output to 480i interlaced mode first (p. 10).
Sound problems
• Check the antenna/cable connections (pgs. 7–12).
• The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another channel.
• The sound may be muted. Press VOLUME.
• If you hear no sound, try setting the MTS feature to STR mode (p. 36).
• If you hear audio that seems “incorrect” for the program you are watching (such as music or a
foreign language), the SAP mode may be on. Set the MTS feature to STR mode (p. 36).
• Make sure the SPEAKERS function in the AUDIO menu is set correctly (p. 39).
• If you are not receiving a second audio program from a known SAP source, make sure the MTS
feature is set to SAP mode (p. 36).
• When using an external audio amplifier, if you set AUDIO OUT to VARIABLE, the volume of
both the TV and amplifier must be set above 0 (zero) or you will not hear any sound (p. 12, 39).
• When recording to a second VCR, set AUDIO OUT to FIXED (pgs. 11 and 39).

Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
Remote control problems
• Make sure the remote control device switch is set to the correct position (p. 14).
• Remove all obstructions between the remote control and the TV.
• The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the batteries (p. 13).
• Your TV remote control may not operate certain features on your external device. Refer to the
owner’s manuals for your other devices to determine their available features. If your TV remote
control does not operate a specific feature on another device, use the remote control that came
with the device (p. 13).
Channel tuning problems
Closed caption problems
• Make sure the remote control device switch is set to the correct position (p. 14).
• Make sure the TV/CABLE setting corresponds with the signal source (TV antenna or cable)
(p. 21).
• The channel may have been erased from the channel memory by the ADD/ERASE feature. Add
the channel to the channel memory (p. 20).
• The channel may be blocked by the BLOCK CHANNEL feature. Unblock the channel (p. 33).
• If you select one of the caption modes (C1, C2, C3, or C4) but the program you are watching is
not closed-captioned, no captions will display on-screen (p. 28).
• A closed caption signal may not display correctly in the following situations: a) when a
videotape has been dubbed; b) when the signal reception is weak; or c) when the signal
reception is nonstandard. If closed captions display incorrectly, set the closed caption feature
to OFF (p. 28).
Black box on screen
• If you select one of the text modes (T1, T2, T3, or T4) but text is not available, a black rectangle
may appear on-screen. If this happens, set the closed caption feature to OFF (p. 28).
V-Chip (blocking) problems
• If you forget your PIN code: While the PIN code entering screen is displayed, press RECALL
four times within 5 seconds. The PIN code you stored will be reset (p. 29).
• The V-Chip feature is only available for the U.S. V-Chip system. The Canadian V-Chip system
(“Puce-V”) is not supported (p. 30).
Cannot see emergency
broadcasts
• Setting the BLOCK TV NONE RATING to “Y” (blocked) may block reception of
emergency broadcasts. The BLOCK TV NONE RATING menu will display the note “Enabling
this option may block emergency messages” to warn you of this possibility (p. 32).
