INTRODUCTION  
Toshiba HD-S25 Digital High Definition Receiver opens up to a new world of free-to-air  
terrestrial HDTV (High 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  
HD 1080i Capability  
High Definition (HD) brings a wide-screen format to the home television as well as a sharper picture.  
This receiver corresponds with 1080i signal input and it fully recreates high definition screen quality.  
Dolby® Digital1  
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-S25 receiver to a 6-channel amplifier  
equipped with a Dolby® Digital decoder.  
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.  
PIP (Picture-in-Picture)  
This feature gives you the ability to view 2 different channels at the same time. One program can be  
viewed on the main screen while the other is simultaneously displayed in a smaller viewing window,  
often positioned in one corner of the screen.  
Still Picture Display  
Allows you to take a snapshot of a video at a particular instant as a still picture.  
Wide-screen Picture Format  
Wide-screen is the term given to picture displays that have a wider aspect ratio than normal. For example, the  
aspect ratio for conventional TVs is 4:3 and for wide-screen TVs is 16:9. This receiver supports broadcasts in  
both formats.  
Video Format Auto-Switch  
The HD-S25 receiver has the capability of automatically switching the output video format to match the  
native video format as sent by the broadcaster.  
AUX  
For people having TVs with only one set of Component Video inputs, this “AUX” feature allows you to  
play your DVD movies via the “AUX INPUT” connectors located at the back of the HD-S25 receiver.

STEP A: CONNECTIONS  
DO NOT PLUG THE RECEIVER INTO THE MAINS YET.  
Before you use this receiver, it is necessary to connect it to your TV.  
1. CONNECTING TO TV  
1-1. Connection to Antenna  
Disconnect the antenna cable from your TV and connect it to the “ANT.IN” terminal on the back of  
the receiver.  
1-2. “RF OUT” Connection to TV or VCR  
This “RF OUT” provides you a RF loop-through function to receive analogue TV programs as well as  
digital programs. Use an RF coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the HD-S25 “RF OUT” terminal to  
TV’s or VCR’s antenna input.  
Before connecting or disconnecting the antenna cable, turn off the receiver and

STEP C: SETTING UP YOUR RECEIVER  
Note: If your service provider or antenna installer has already installed your TV system to receive  
terrestrial TV programs, do not change any connections of those devices or installation settings  
unless it is absolutely necessary.  
If your receiver has not been configured by your service provider or system installer, it will not be  
set up for any specific channel or frequency when powered on for the first time. In this case you  
should follow the steps below to set up your receiver.  
1. Switch on the TV.  
2. Using your TV’s remote control, select the appropriate external Audio/Video input on your TV  
according to the connection you have made in Step A.  
3. Make sure the receiver is already in power-on mode. If it is in standby mode (i.e. front panel shows  
----“), switch on the receiver by pressing the “STANDBY/ON” button on the front panel of the  
receiver or on the remote control.  
4. A message “Database is Empty” should appear after a while. If you can see the message, go to  
Step 5 directly;  
However, if you cannot see the message on the screen even after a long time, please change the  
video format by pressing V.FORMAT button on remote control or on the front panel (the default  
video format of HD-S25 receiver is “PAL” if the MODE-Switch is set to YPBPR and the default video  
format is “576p” if the MODE-Switch is set to RGB). Press V.FORMAT button until you see the  
message “Database is Empty”.  
Note: When you press V.FORMAT button, the four-digit LED on the receiver’s front panel will  
display among “PAL” (for MODE-Switch being set to YPBPR only), “AUTO”, “1080i”, “720p” and  
“576p”. After you press V.FORMAT button, please make sure the front panel LED display has  
changed before you press the button again.  
5. After you see a message “Database is Empty” appears, press the “MENU” button. A “Region  
Selection” menu appears.  
ꢀꢁ Use the directional buttons “ꢀ” and “ꢁ” to  
highlight your region of residence and  
press the “ENTER” button to make your  
selection. The region setup process may  
take a few minutes to complete.  
ꢀꢁ If the “Region Selection” menu does not  
appear, please refer to “RESET DATA” on  
page 27 to reset the database.  
6. You will see the Main Menu (page 25). Press the “ꢂ” button twice to highlight “INSTALLATION” and  
then press “ENTER”. When prompted, enter “0000” which is the default password.  
7. To tune the receiver, you have choices of MANUAL SETUP / AUTO SCAN / QUICK SCAN. We  
recommend that you use “QUICK SCAN” (page 25) for a faster setup. For more information on the  
various tuning options, please refer to pages 25~27.  
Note: The choices of AUTO SCAN and QUICK SCAN are for Australia only.

8. If you use “QUICK SCAN” in step 7 and when you see the message “>>> SCAN COMPLETE <<<”,  
press the “EXIT” button several times until the main menu disappears.  
9. After you finish scanning, you can choose the suitable V.FORMAT. If you use an SDTV, use the  
V.FORMAT “PAL” (for MODE-Switch being set to YPBPR only); If you use an HD-ready TV, you are  
recommended to change to “AUTO” by pressing V.FORMAT button; However, if your HD-ready TV  
cannot display some specific video format, press V.FORMAT button to change to an appropriate  
fixed format. (For more details, please refer to Appendix 2 System Setup Table in page 50).  
10. Congratulations! You have successfully setup your receiver.

channel will be shown.  
ꢀꢁ When you see the message “>>> SCAN

tuning your receiver. If no channel is found,  
please refer to “TROUBLESHOOTING” in  
Appendix 2.  
ꢀꢁ Press the “EXIT” button several times to  
leave the Main Menu.  
Note: The frequencies of the “quick scan”  
channels are preset in the receiver’s  
database. In case that the local TV station  
changes the channel frequency or a new  
channel comes up, you have to scan these  
channels using “MANUAL SETUP”.  
AUTO SCAN (For Australia Only)  
The steps required to automatically program the receiver are outlined as below:  
ꢀꢁ Highlight “AUTO SCAN” and press the  
“ENTER” button to start channel search.  
ꢀꢁ The receiver starts scanning from channel 2  
to channel 69. The status bar shows the  
progress being made.  
ꢀꢁ Once a digital TV channel is found, the  
channel number and program name will be  
shown.  
ꢀꢁ When you see the message “>>> SCAN  
COMPLETE <<<”, you have completed

Note: Auto scan process may take about 18  
minutes to complete.  
please refer to “TROUBLESHOOTING” in

ꢀꢁ Press the “EXIT” button several times to  
leave the Main Menu.  
MANUAL SETUP  
ꢀꢁ On the “INSTALLATION” page, highlight  
“MANUAL SETUP” and press the “ENTER”  
button.  
ꢀꢁ Select channel number. Be sure you know  
the channel number and its RF frequency.  
You may refer to Digital TV channel table in  
Appendix 1.  
ꢀꢁ Press “ꢂ” button to highlight “Frequency”,  
“Bandwidth” and “Priority” to make sure the

be shown. At this point you can press “EXIT” to leave “MANUAL SETUP” or continue scanning  
other channels.  
ꢀꢁ  
If scanning is unsuccessful, “Start Scan” will change to “Timeout Error”. At this point you can  
rescan the signal or refer to the SIGNAL LEVEL bar and signal QUALITY for aligning the  
direction of the antenna to get the signal. Please refer to your antenna installer if problem  
persists.  
Notes:  
1. For Australia, the BANDWIDTH should be 7MHz.  
2. The PRIORITY should be set to “HIGH” for Australia.  
3. SIGNAL LEVEL refers to the input RF signal strength as perceived by the receiver. Please  
note that too strong a signal may cause erroneous readings. If you use an antenna booster  
and find that you still get a low signal level, your booster gain may be set too high. In this  
case, please adjust the gain accordingly.  
You may also see the OSD “Bad or No Signal” or “Weak Signal” when the signal level is low.  
QUALITY refers to the quality of the received digital signal. A high value of quality means that  
there are few errors in the signal. In the same way, a low value of quality implies that there  
are a large number of errors in the signal, which may cause distortions in video and audio.  
SNR is the signal-to-noise ratio. A high SNR value means that you have a reasonably good  
reception (good signal level and good quality).  
RESET DATA  
Use this function when you want to clear channel data and reset the password to default (“0000”).

GLOSSARY  
APPENDIX  
* Aspect Ratio: It is the ratio of the width of the screen to the height. The two relevant digital TV formats  
are 16:9 (wide-screen) or 4:3 (the traditional screen ratio). 16:9 is more ergonomically suitable for the  
human eye.  
* Bandwidth: It is the frequency range that allows for carrying a certain radio signal.  
* Coaxial Cable: A type of cable used to transmit high frequency signals e.g. from the VHF/UHF  
antenna to the terrestrial Digital TV receiver.  
* Composite Video: There are three elements of the video system: First - the "active video" which  
means the picture to be displayed on the screen and its associated colors; second - the "sync" decides  
where to place each pixel on the screen; third - the "blanking” tells the display when to turn off the  
electron beam so no retrace across the screen. These three elements combined together is called  
"composite video" when connecting to a display through connectors.  
* Crop: A wide-screen 16:9 picture that is cut on both left and right to fit a 4:3 TV screen.  
* Dolby® Digital: Dolby® Digital is a method of transmitting and storing multi-channel soundtracks via  
newer digital media such as DVD, digital cable, digital TV (DTV), and satellite transmissions.  
* DVB5: Abbreviation for "Digital Video Broadcasting". An international organization created in October  
1993, whose primary objective is to achieve a common framework for all technical platforms of digital  
broadcasting systems including DVB-C (cable), DVB-S (satellite) and DVB-T (terrestrial), etc.  
* EPG: Stands for "Electronic Program Guide". It is an application that allows viewers to navigate  
through the large number of channels offered by digital TV broadcaster and selects the desired  
services.  
* Frequency: The property of a signal measured in cycles per second (=Hertz).  
* Letterbox: The picture with aspect 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 program on a 4:3 TV screen.  
* Megahertz (MHz): Millions of cycles per second, which describes frequencies of radio wave or electric  
current.  
* Mini D-Sub 15-pin Cable: A type of video cable used to carry analogue RGB video signals.  
* OSD: Stands for "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.  
* PAL: Stands for "Phase Alternating Line", the European video standard that has the image format of 4  
by 3, 625 horizontal lines, 50Hz field frequency and a total 8 MHz of video channel width.  
* Pillarbox: The picture with aspect ratio 4:3 in a 16:9 TV screen with black masking bars on the left and  
right. It is a way to watch a standard 4:3 picture on a wide-screen TV.  
* RF Channel: Radio Frequency Channel, for instance channel 28 for SBS Network in analogue TV  
transmission. However, in digital TV, one RF channel may carry 4 to 6 sub-channels like SBS HD and  
SBS Digital.  
* RGB: Stands for Red, Green and Blue. RGB video is the highest quality video currently used in the AV  
industry.  
* S-Video (also called Y/C): The standard for the way a video signal is carried on the cable. Y

represents brightness and C represents color. S-Video cables have separate wires for the color and  
brightness so it offers a better picture quality than the composite video.  
* VHF: Stands for "Very High Frequency", starts from 30 to 300MHz corresponding 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/progressive.  
For Standard Definition (SD), the picture resolution is 720 pixels 576 lines, interlaced (576i).  
For High Definition (HD), the minimum picture resolution is 720 576, progressive (576p)6.  
Other HD formats are 1920 1080i and 1280 720p.  
* UHF: Stands for "Ultra High Frequency", starts from 300 to 3000MHz corresponding to channels 13-69,  
including Bands IV and V.  
* Y/PB/PR: Color difference signal, which is better than S-Video and Composite Video in terms of picture  
quality. Y, PB and PR are the standard video connectors found in HDTVs.

576p is classified as HD format in Australia. However, it may be classified as SD format in some other regions.
