non-moving image is displayed for a long period of time. The

afterimage is not permanent and will disappear in a short

period of time.

2) The LCD panel contained in this TV is manufactured using

an extremely high level of precision technology; however,

there may be an occasional pixel (dot of light) that does not

This is a structural property of LCD technology, is not a sign

of malfunction, and is not covered under your warranty. Such

pixels are not visible when the picture is viewed from a

normal viewing distance.

HDMI^™cable

Overview of cable types

Coaxial (F-type) cable

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

with devices with 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 (- page 15).

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

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

on your TV.

Note: HDMI cable provides better picture performance than a

standard (composite) video or S-video cable.

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

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable

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.

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

the TV’s PC IN terminal (- page 16).

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.

Connecting a VCR and antenna or

Cable TV (no Cable box)

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

device’s owner’s manual.

You will need:

• coaxial cables

• standard A/V cables

– For better picture performance, if your VCR has S-video,

connect an S-video cable and standard (analog) audio

cables to the VIDEO-2 inputs on the side panel (instead of

the VIDEO-1 inputs). Do not connect both types of video

cable to VIDEO-2 at the same time or the picture

performance will be unacceptable.

Connecting an antenna or cable TV

– If you have a mono VCR, connect L/MONO on the TV to

your VCR’s audio out terminal using the white audio cable

only.

This connection allows you to watch TV programs or basic

cable channels.

DVI device connection

Connecting an HDMI^™or DVI device

to the HDMI input

To connect a DVI device, you will need:

• one HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable (HDMI type A connector)

per DVI device

– For proper operation, the length of an HDMI-to-DVI

adapter cable should not exceed 9.8 ft (3m). The

recommended length is 6.6 ft (2m).

The HDMI input on your TV receives digital audio and

uncompressed digital video from an HDMI source device, or

uncompressed digital video from a DVI (Digital Visual

Interface) source device.

• one pair of standard analog audio cables per DVI device

This input is designed to accept HDCP (High-Bandwidth

Digital-Content Protection) program material in digital form

from EIA/CEA-861-861B–compliant^[1]consumer electronic

devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or

DVI output).

– An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers video only.

Separate analog audio cables are required (see

illustration).

– See “Setting the HDMI^™audio mode” on page 29.

The HDMI input is designed for best performance with 1080i

signals but will also accept and display 480i, 480p and 720p

signals.

Chapter 3: Using the remote control

Programming the remote control

to operate your other devices

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 19.

In the remote control code table (- page 22), find the

code for your device. If more than one code is listed, try

each one separately until you find one that works.

Set the MODE SELECT Switch to the type of device you

are programming the remote control to operate —

CABLE/SAT (for a cable converter box or satellite

receiver), DVD (for a DVD player or HTIB [home theater

in a box]), or VCR (for a VCR or TV/VCR combo).

While holding down E, press the Channel Number

buttons to enter the 3-digit code for your device.

To test the code, turn on the device, point the remote

control at it, and press p. (Also see notes below.)

• If the correct code was entered, the device will turn off.

• If the device does not respond, repeat steps 1–4 using

another code.

• If the device does not respond to another code, you will

need to use the device’s original remote control.

Remember to set the MODE SELECT Switch back to

“TV” to control the TV.

For future reference, write down the code(s) you used:

DEVICE

CODE

DEVICE

CODE

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.

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

audio will be output. However, occasionally there is no

sound at all in SAP mode. If this happens, set the MTS

feature to Stereo mode.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting

Poor color or no color

General troubleshooting

• The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another

channel.

• Adjust the Tint and/or Color (- page 35).

• When the ColorStream^®signal source is active, the

VIDEO OUT terminal outputs blank video. To receive

video from the VIDEO OUT signal, a standard video or

S-video IN terminal must be used instead of the

ColorStream^®connections.

Before calling a service technician, please check this section

for a possible cause of the problem and some solutions you can

try.

Black box on screen

• The Closed Caption feature is set to one of the Text

modes (T1, T2, T3, or T4). Set the Closed Caption

feature to Off (- page 37).

Poor composite or S-video picture

• If the poor picture occurs when the TV is connected to an

external A/V device (e.g., DVD player, video game

system, set-top box, etc.) try using a ColorStream or

HDMI video connection instead.

TV stops responding to controls

• If the TV stops responding to the controls on the remote

control or TV control panel and you cannot turn off the

TV, press and hold the POWER button on the TV control

panel for 5 or more seconds to reset the TV.

Picture and sound are out of sync

• As with all products that contain a digital display, in rare

instances, when viewing certain content (e.g.. television

broadcasts, video games, DVDs), you may notice that the

sound and picture are slightly out of sync. This

phenomenon can be caused by various factors including,

without limitation, video processing within the TV, video

processing in an attached gaming system, and video

processing or different compression rates used by

broadcasters in their programming. You may want to try

one or more of the following suggestions, which may

help to reduce the effect of this phenomenon:

– If the TV is connected to an A/V receiver that has a

programmable audio delay feature, use this feature

to help synchronize the sound to the picture.

– If you notice this phenomenon only on certain TV

channels, please contact your local broadcast,

cable, or satellite provider to inform them of this

issue.

TV will not turn on

• Make sure the power cord is plugged in, and then press

• The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the

batteries or try the control panel buttons.

Picture problems

General picture problems

• Check the antenna/cable connections (- page 10).

• Press + on the remote control or INPUT on the TV

control panel and select a valid video input source

(- page 30). If no device is connected, no picture will

display when you select that particular input source. For

device connection details, see page 10.

• Antenna reception may be poor. Use a highly directional

outdoor antenna (if applicable).

• The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another

channel.

• Adjust the picture qualities (- page 35).

• If you are using a VCR, make sure L on the remote

control is set correctly (- page 19).

• If you have two VCRs connected to your TV, make sure

you have not connected the same VCR to the TV’s output

and input connections at the same time.

• Do not connect both a standard video cable and an

S-video cable to the VIDEO-2 inputs at the same time

(- page 14).

Sound problems

• Check the antenna/cable connections (- page 10).

• 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

Stereo mode (- page 38).

• If you are not receiving a second audio program from a

known SAP source, make sure the MTS feature is set to

SAP mode (- page 38).

• 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 Stereo

mode (- page 38).

Noisy picture

• If you are watching a tuned analog channel (off-air

broadcast or Cable TV), set the CableClear^®/DNR

feature to Auto to reduce visible interference in the TV

picture (- page 36).

Video Input Selection problems

• If the program list does not appear when you press + on

the remote control or INPUT on the TV control panel,

press the button a second time, which will change the TV

to the next video input source and display the program

list.

Cannot view external signals or channel 3 or 4

• If you cannot view signals from external devices

connected to VIDEO-1, VIDEO-2, ColorStream^®, or

HDMI, or from channels 3 or 4, make sure the Video

Lock is set to Off (- page 41).

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting

Remote control problems

• Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device

mode (- page 19).

• Remove all obstructions between the remote control and

the TV.

• The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the

batteries (- page 17).

• The TV remote control may not operate certain features

on your external device. Refer to the owner’s manual for

your other device to determine its available features. If

the TV remote control does not operate a specific feature

on the device, use the remote control provided with the

device (- pages 19–23).

Channel tuning problems

• Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device

mode (- page 18).

• The channel may have been erased from the channel

memory by the Add/Erase feature. Add the channel to

the channel memory (- page 27).

• The channel may be blocked by the Channel Lock

feature. Unblock the channel (- page 41).

Closed caption problems

• If the program or video you selected is not closed-

captioned, no captions will display on-screen

(- page 37).

• If text is not available, a black rectangle may appear on-

screen. If this happens, turn off the closed caption feature

(- page 37).

• 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 (- page 37).
