Important notes about your LCD TV  
The following symptoms are technical limitations of  
LCD Display technology and are not an indication of  
malfunction. Therefore, Toshiba is not responsible for  
perceived defects resulting from these symptoms.  
1) An afterimage (ghost) may appear on the screen if a fixed,  
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 operate properly (does not light, remains constantly lit,  
etc.). 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.  
Note: Interactive video games that involve shooting a  
“gun” type of joystick at an on-screen target may not work  
on this TV.

Connecting your TV  
Note: Cables are not supplied with your TV.  
Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your antenna, cable TV  
service, and/or cable converter box to the ANT RF input on your TV.  
Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in sets of three,  
Coaxial (antenna) cable  
and are for use with video devices with standard audio and standard  
(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.  
Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)  
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  
standard (composite) video cable.  
Component video cables come in sets of three and are for use with  
video devices with component video output. These cables are typically  
color-coded red, green, and blue. (ColorStream® is Toshiba’s brand of  
component video.) 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.  
Component video cables  
HDMI cable  
HDMI cable is for use with devices with uncompressed HDMI (high-  
definition multimedia interface) video/compressed audio output.  
HDMI cable delivers digital audio and video in its native format (see  
page 15). This cable carries both video and audio information;  
therefore, no separate audio cables are needed for a complete connec-  
tion.  
NOTE: RISK OF  
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE!  
Never plug in any power cords  
until you have finished connecting all  
equipment.  
Note: HDMI cable provides better picture performance than a standard  
(composite) video or S-video cable.

Connecting a DVD player or satellite receiver  
and a VCR  
Note:  
This connection allows you to watch DVD/satellite, VCR, and TV  
programs, and record one TV channel while watching another  
channel.  
For the highest possible picture quality from a  
DVD player or satellite receiver without  
component video, HDMI, or DVI, use an S-  
video cable. (If your DVD player has  
component video, see page 12. If your DVD  
player or satellite receiver has HDMI or DVI,  
see page 15.)  
You will need:  
• two (or three, if satellite receiver is used) coaxial cables  
• one set of standard A/V cables (between the TV and VCR)  
• one S-video cable (between the TV and DVD player/satellite  
receiver)  
Do not connect the DVD player/satellite  
receiver and VCR to the same set of Video  
inputs on the TV. (See the illustration, which  
shows the DVD player/satellite receiver  
connected to VIDEO 1 on the TV upper back  
panel, and the VCR connected to VIDEO 2

Connecting a DVD player with ColorStream®  
(component video) and a VCR  
Note:  
This connection allows you to watch DVD, VCR, and TV programs,  
and record TV programs.  
Your TV has ColorStream® (component video) inputs. Connecting  
your TV to a DVD player with component video (such as a Toshiba  
DVD player with ColorStream®) can greatly enhance picture quality  
and realism.  
For the highest possible picture quality, use  
component video cables (or an HDMI or DVI  
cable) between the TV and DVD player.  
For HDMI or DVI connection, see page 15.  
The ColorStream HD input and the HDMI  
input can be used with Progressive (480p,  
720p) and Interlaced (480i, 1080i) scan  
systems; however, a 1080i signal will provide  
the best picture performance.  
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.  
To record a TV program while watching a DVD, tune the VCR to  
the channel to record, and select ColorStream HD on the TV (see  
“Selecting the video input source” on page 44).  
If your DVD player is not compatible with  
component video, HDMI, or DVI, use the  
S-video connections (plus the standard audio  
connections) instead (see page 11).  
You will need:  
• two coaxial cables  
• one set of standard A/V cables  
• one pair of standard audio cables  
• one set of component video cables  
The unauthorized recording, use,  
distribution, or revision of television

Note:  
This connection allows you to watch DTV (digital TV), VCR, and  
TV programs, and record DTV (composite video only) and TV  
programs.  
Your TV has ColorStream® (component video) inputs. Connecting  
your TV to a DTV receiver with component video can greatly  
enhance picture quality and realism.  
For the highest possible picture quality, use  
component video cables (or an HDMI cable)  
between the TV and DTV receiver/set-top  
box.  
For HDMI or DVI connection, see page 15.  
The ColorStream HD and HDMI inputs can  
be used with Progressive (480p, 720p) and  
Interlaced (480i, 1080i) scan systems;

Connecting an HDMI™ or a DVI device to the HDMI input  
The HDMI[1] input on your TV receives digital audio  
[1]  
HDMI = High-Definition Multimedia Interface.  
and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI  
device or uncompressed digital video from a DVI[2]  
device.  
[2]  
[3]  
[4]  
DVI = Digital Video Interface.  
HDCP = High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection.  
EIA/CEA-861/861B compliance covers the transmission of  
uncompressed digital video with high-bandwidth digital  
content protection, the technology of which is being  
standardized for reception of high-definition video signals.  
Because this is an evolving technology, it is possible that  
some devices may not operate properly with the TV.  
This input is designed to accept HDCP[3] program  
material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861B–  
compliant[4] consumer electronic devices (such as a set-  
top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output).  
The HDMI input is designed for best performance  
with 1080i high-definition video signals, but will also  
accept and display 480i, 480p, and 720p signals.  
To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset  
properly, it is recommended that you follow  
these procedures:  
• When turning on your electronic components,  
turn on the TV first, and then the HDMI or  
DVI device.  
NOTE: NEVER CONNECT THIS TV TO  
A PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC).  
This TV is not intended for use with a PC.  
• When turning off your electronic components,  
turn off the HDMI or DVI device first, and  
then the TV.  
To connect an HDMI device, you will need:  
• one HDMI cable (type A connector)  
To connect a DVI device, you will need:  
• one HDMItoDVI adapter cable  
For proper operation, it is recommended that you  
use a short HDMI cable.  
(HDMI type A connector)  
HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate  
analog audio cables are not required (see illustration  
below). Some CDVs (Video CDs) may not output  
digital audio signals. In that case, you may be able to  
hear sound by connecting analog audio cables.  
However, if you connect analog audio cables with this  
connection, the HDMI terminal on the TV will not  
receive the HDMI digital audio signal and you will  
hear analog audio only.  
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).  
• one pair of standard analog audio cables  
An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers only video.  
Separate analog audio cables are required (see  
illustration below).

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. See page 20.  
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 17–19.  
Installing the remote control batteries  
1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote control.  
Caution:  
Never throw batteries into a fire.  
Squeeze tab and  
lift cover.  
Note:  
• Be sure to use AA size batteries.  
2. Install two “AA” size batteries, making sure to match the + and –  
signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.  
• 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.  
3. Reinsert the battery cover in the remote control until the tab  
snaps.  
• 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.  
Remote control effective range  
For optimum performance, aim the remote control directly at the TV  
and make sure there is no obstruction between the remote control and  
the TV.  
• Always remove batteries from 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.

• 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.  
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, use the device’s  
remote control.

Using the remote control to operate a cable  
converter box, satellite receiver, VCR, DVD  
player, or HTIB (home theater in a box)  
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 17 and 18.  
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 converter 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.

Note:  
You can leave your TV in STEREO mode because it will  
automatically output the type of sound being broadcast (stereo or  
monaural).  
A second audio program (SAP) can be heard  
only on those TV stations that offer it.  
For example, a station might broadcast music  
as a second audio program. If you have SAP  
on, you will see the current program on the  
screen but hear music instead of the  
program’s normal audio.  
If the stereo sound is noisy, select MONO to reduce the noise.  
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.  
However, if you have SAP on and the station  
you are watching is not currently  
broadcasting a second audio program, the  
station’s normal audio will be output.  
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).  
Occasionally there is no sound at all in SAP  
mode. If this happens, set the MTS feature to  
STEREO mode.
