30) [This item applies to projection TVs only.] If the air  
temperature rises suddenly (for example, when the TV is  
first delivered), condensation may form on the lenses. This  
can make the picture appear distorted or the color appear  
faded. If this happens, turn off the TV for 6 to 7 hours to  
allow the condensation to evaporate.  
24) Always operate this equipment from  
a 120 VAC, 60 Hz power source only.  
31) For added protection of your TV from lightning and power  
surges, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the  
antenna from the TV if you leave the TV unattended or  
unused for long periods of time.  
25) Always make sure the antenna system is properly  
grounded to provide adequate protection against voltage  
surges and built-up static charges (see Section 810 of the  
National Electric Code).  
32) During normal use, the TV may make  
occasional snapping or popping  
sounds. This is normal, especially  
when the unit is being turned on or  
off. If these sounds become frequent  
or continuous, unplug the power cord  
and contact a Toshiba Authorized Service Center.  
33) Possible Adverse Effects on TV Picture Tube: If a fixed  
(non-moving) pattern remains on the TV screen for long  
periods of time, the image can become permanently  
engrained in the picture tube and cause subtle but  
permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT  
COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your TV  
on for long periods of time while it is displaying the  
following formats or images:  
26)  
DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL  
INJURY OR DEATH!  
• Use extreme care to make sure you are never in  
a position where your body (or any item you are in contact  
with, such as a ladder or screwdriver) can accidentally  
touch overhead power lines. Never locate the antenna  
near overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.  
• Never attempt to install any of the following during  
lightning activity:  
a) an antenna system; or b) cables, wires, or any home  
theater component connected to an antenna or phone  
system.  
• Fixed Images, such as PIP/POP windows, stock tickers,  
video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.  
• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For  
example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a  
normal (4:3) display (gray bars at top and bottom of  
screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a  
widescreen (16:9) display (gray bars on left and right  
sides of screen).

as directly in front of it as possible. The picture can appear  
dull if you sit too far to the left or right of the TV, or if  
sunlight or room lights reflect on the screen. Turn the TV  
off to check for reflections on the screen, and then remove  
the source of reflections while viewing the TV.

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.

Connecting a DVD player with component  
video and a VCR  
This connection allows you to watch DVD, VCR, or TV programs.  
You can record one TV program while watching another TV program.  
You also can record a TV program while watching a DVD.  
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.  
Note:  
• 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.  
You will need:  
• two coaxial cables  
• one set of standard A/V cables

Connecting a camcorder  
This connection allows you to watch videos recorded on a camcorder.  
Note:  
• For better picture quality, if your camcorder  
has S-video, you can use an S-video cable  
(plus the standard audio cables) instead of a  
standard video cable.  
You will need:  
• one set of standard A/V cables (see notes at right)  
• Do not connect both a standard video cable  
and an S-video cable at the same time, or  
the picture performance will be  
unacceptable.

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.

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  
15–16.  
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.  
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

• 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

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).  
• Make sure the remote control device switch is set to the correct position (p. 14).  
• Set the CLOSED CAPTION feature to OFF (p. 28).  
Black box on screen  
Poor color or no color  
• 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).

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).
