Introduction  
Welcome to Toshiba  
Congratulations! You have purchased one of the finest projection TVs  
on the market. The goal of this manual is to guide you through setting  
up and operating your Toshiba TV as quickly as possible.  
This manual applies to models TZ50V61, TZ55V61 and TZ61V61.  
Before you start reading, check your model number by looking at the  
rear of the TV.  
The TZ50V61 is the model used for illustration purposes. Instructions  
in this manual are based on using the remote control. You can also use  
the controls on the TV if they have the same name as those on the  
remote control.  
Please read all the safety and operating instructions carefully, and keep  
the manual for future reference.  
Exploring your new TV  
You can operate your TV by using the buttons on the front panel or  
the remote control. The back panel and front panel (behind the door)  
provide all the terminal connections you will need to connect other  
equipment to your TV.

connectors.  
VIDEO  
Cable  
Audio and video cables are usually color coded according to use:  
yellow for video and red and white for audio. The red audio cable  
is for the stereo right channel, and the white audio cable is for  
the stereo (or mono) left channel. If you look at the rear panel of  
the TV, you will see that the terminals are color coded in the  
same manner as the cables.  
S-VIDEO  
Cable  
Color Stream

S-video cables provide better picture performance. S-video cables  
Caution:  
can only be used with S-video compatible components.  
Do not plug the TV in until you have finished  
connecting all of your equipment.

picture performance. ColorStream cables can only be used with  
ColorStream compatible components.

Using the remote control  
Note:  
Preparing the remote control for use  
This remote controls functions may or may  
not operate your VCR or cable TV converter.  
With the remote control, you can operate your TV, most VCR  
models, and cable TV converters together, even if they are different  
brands. If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba VCR, your  
remote control is already programmed and ready to use. If you own  
different brands of VCRs and/or converters, you first have to program  
your remote control. (See Programming the remote control for use  
with a VCR or a cable TV converteron page 12.)  
Refer to the owners manuals supplied with  
the equipment to see which features are  
available. In addition, the original controllers  
may have features not available on this remote  
control. If you would like to continue to use  
these features, you may want to use the  
original remote control.  
Installing the remote control batteries  
To install the batteries:  
1. Slide the battery cover off of the back of the remote control.  
Caution:  
Dispose of your batteries in a designated  
disposal area. Do not throw your batteries  
into a fire.  
Do not mix battery types or combine used  
batteries with new ones.  
Remove dead batteries immediately to  
prevent battery acid from leaking into the  
battery compartment.  
2. Install two AAsize alkaline batteries. Match the + and - signs on  
the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.  
If you do not intend to use the remote  
control for a long time, remove the  
batteries.  
3. Slide the battery cover back on to the remote control until the  
lock snaps.

Adjusting the color convergence  
This projection TV uses three separate TV tubes: a red one, a green  
one, and a blue one. The red, green, and blue images are projected  
onto the screen where they converge to form a full color picture. You  
can see a clear picture only when they converge correctly.  
Convergence may drift over time or if you move the TV. If you can  
see clear images on the screen, skip this procedure.  
This adjustment should be made after the TV has been on for at least  
30 minutes.  
To check and adjust the color convergence:  
1. Press MENU, then press x or until the PICTURE menu  
appears.  
2. Press y or z to highlight CONVERGENCE.  
3. Press x or to display the center CONVERGENCE menu.
