WARNING:  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!  
Care  
Never attempt to service the TV yourself, except as  
specified in the “Lamp unit replacement and care” section  
in Chapter 9. Opening and removing the covers may  
expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Failure  
to follow this WARNING may result in death or serious  
injury. Refer all servicing not specified in this manual to a  
Toshiba Authorized Service Center.  
For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA  
TV, follow these recommendations and precautions:  
30) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and  
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.  
38) If you have the TV serviced:  
• Ask the service technician to use only replacement  
parts specified by the manufacturer.  
• Upon completion of service, ask the service technician  
to perform routine safety checks to determine that the  
TV is in safe operating condition.  
31) Always unplug the TV before cleaning. Never use liquid or  
aerosol cleaners. Clean only with a soft, dry cloth. Do not  
spray volatile compounds, such as insecticide, on the  
cabinet. This may discolor or damage the cabinet.

“Voice announce” feature  
Important notes about your  
DLP® projection TV  
When certain non-standard conditions occur, the LEDs  
on the TV will blink and the TV will play a recorded  
“voice announcement” describing the condition (see the  
LED indication table on page 62 for the specific conditions  
that include a voice announcement).  
To repeat the voice announcement and hear additional  
information, press the MENU button on the TV while the  
LEDs are blinking.  
1) The light source for this TV is a projection lamp unit with a  
limited service life. When the lamp wears out, the picture  
may become dark or black or the lamp may fail, at which time  
you must replace the lamp unit (- “Lamp unit replacement  
and care” on pages 63–65).  
2) When the lamp mode is set to Low Power, every time the  
TV is powered on, the lamp will initially be in High Bright  
mode but will switch to Low Power mode after a short  
period of time. You may notice a change in screen brightness  
when this happens. This is normal and is not a sign of  
malfunction (- page 57 for details).  
3) Every time the TV is powered on, it may take several minutes  
for the picture to obtain full brightness (- “IMPORTANT  
NOTICE ABOUT HOT LAMP RESTART,” at right).  
4) The TV’s display is manufactured using an extremely high  
level of precision technology; however, an occasional pixel  
(dot of light) may show constantly on the screen. This is a  
structural property of DLP® (Digital Light Processing®)  
technology and is not a sign of malfunction. Such pixels are  
not visible when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing  
distance.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT HOT LAMP RESTART  
When the TV has been powered on long enough for the lamp  
unit to get hot, it may take several minutes for the picture to  
appear in the following situations:  
• When the Power-On Mode feature is set to Power-  
Saving and you turn the TV off and then on again  
within a few minutes; or  
• If the TV is on when a short-term power failure, power  
surge, or other similar power failure occurs, such that  
the TV loses and regains power within a few minutes.  
This is a property of DLP® TV lamp technology and is  
NOT a sign of malfunction.  
If this occurs, the yellow LED on the TV front panel will blink  
(and the blue LED will be lit solid) until the TV is finished  
restarting the lamp and the normal picture appears. If both  
LEDs are blinking, you will need to turn the TV off and then  
on again to restart the lamp.  
5) Always sit approximately 10–25 feet away from the TV and  
as directly in front of it as possible. The picture quality may  
be affected by your viewing position and length of viewing  
time. If you sit too closely to the TV for too long, you may  
suffer from eye fatigue. See item 30 under “Care” on page 4.  
6) Depending on the media you are viewing, it is possible,  
although unlikely, that a limited number of viewers may see  
a “rainbow effect” on the screen, which can, in rare instances,  
result in eye fatigue. This is a rare occurrence related to  
DLP® technology and is not a sign of TV malfunction.

This TV contains several cooling fans to moderate  
the internal temperature. You may be able to hear  
the fans for several minutes after the TV is turned  
off. This is a function of the Power-On Mode  
feature and is not a sign of TV malfunction. You can set  
the Power-On Mode feature to stop the fans as soon as the  
TV is powered off. See “Setting the Power-On Mode  
feature” (- page 35).

8) The yellow and blue LED lights at the bottom center of the  
TV front indicate your TV’s current status. If either light  
flashes, see “LED indications” (- page 62).  
9) Every time the TV power cord is plugged in, the yellow LED  
will blink until the TV enters standby mode (plugged in but  
not powered on). This is normal and is not a sign of  
malfunction.

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV  
HDMIcable  
Overview of cable types  
Coaxial (F-type) cable  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use  
with devices with an 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 19 and page 21).  
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)  
Dual-wand IR blaster 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.  
Dual-wand IR blaster cable is for use with video devices with  
IR (infrared) remote control. This cable can be used with the  
TV’s IR pass-through feature (- page 17).  
To obtain IR blaster cable:  
S-video cable  
Optical audio cable  
S-video cable is for use with video devices with S-video  
output. Separate audio cables are required for a complete  
connection.  
Optical audio cable is for connecting receivers with Dolby  
Digital or PCM (pulse-code modulation) optical audio input to  
the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal (- page 20).  
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.  
Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable  
Component video cables (red/green/blue)  
Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable is for connecting a PC to  
the TV’s PC IN terminal (- page 21).  
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.  
About the connection illustrations  
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.  
Note: Component video cables provide better picture  
performance than a standard (composite) video or S-video  
cable.

To connect the IR blaster cable:  
Connecting a device to the IR OUT  
infrared terminal using the IR  
blaster cable for IR pass-through  
device control  
1
2
Locate the infrared sensor on the front of your device.  
This sensor is marked on some devices.*  
Align one of the IR blaster cable’s wands about 1 inch  
away from the infrared sensor on the front of the device  
and attach it using double-sided mounting tape. If you  
have a second device, attach the second wand in a similar  
manner. (See illustration.)  
You can use the TV’s IR OUT terminal (infrared pass-  
through) to remotely operate (through the TV) many infrared  
remote-controlled devices (such as Toshiba infrared remote-  
controlled VCRs or DVD players) enclosed within an  
entertainment center or similar cabinet. Without the IR OUT  
connection, the device typically would need to be visible to  
operate it remotely.  
Note: If you do not have a second device, coil the second  
wand with a rubber band and leave it behind the TV.  
3
Plug the IR blaster cable’s plug into the TV’s IR OUT  
terminal.  
To control the device(s):  
You will need:  
dual-wand IR blaster cable (- page 13)

Chapter 3: Using the remote control  
Always remove batteries from the 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.  
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.  
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.  
If you have a Toshiba device:  
Your TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate most  
Toshiba devices (- page 26).  
Point remote control  
toward remote sensor  
on front of TV.  
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 (- pages 24–28).

Chapter 3: Using the remote control  
Programming the remote control  
to control 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 24.  
1
2
In the remote control code table (- page 27), 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), AUX 1 (for a VCR or TV/VCR combo), or  
AUX 2 (for a DVD player or HTIB [home theater in a  
box]).  
3
4
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. 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 remote control that came with the  
device.  
5
6
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.

If the Antenna input signal type is set to Cable, the automatic  
channel programming process erases channels that were  
previously programmed into the TV’s memory.  
If the Antenna input signal type is set to Antenna, the  
automatic channel programming process adds newly found  
channels to the existing set of programmed channels (and  
does NOT erase channels that were previously  
programmed into the TV’s memory.) To remove an Antenna  
source channel from the memory, you must manually delete  
it.

To cancel channel programming, press O on the remote  
control (or highlight Abort in the on-screen display and  
press T).  
When channel programming is finished, press < or , to  
view the programmed channels.  
To tune the TV to a channel not programmed in the channel  
memory, you must use the Channel Number buttons on the  
remote control.  
Programming channels when the antenna input is  
configured for Cable will take substantially longer than when  
the antenna input is configured for Antenna. This is normal;  
however, once channel programming is finished, you should  
not have to repeat the programming process again unless  
your Cable TV service lineup changes significantly.

If you select Fast mode and the TV is turned off, the TV will  
stay in Standby mode for several minutes (see Note below). If  
the TV is turned on from Standby mode, the full picture

a few minutes; or  
If the TV is on when a short-term power failure, power  
surge, or other similar power failure occurs, such that  
the TV loses and regains power within a few minutes.  
This is a property of DLP® TV lamp technology and is  
NOT a sign of malfunction.  
If this occurs, the yellow LED on the TV front panel will  
blink (and the blue LED will be lit solid) until the TV is  
finished restarting the lamp and the normal picture  
appears. If both LEDs are blinking, you will need to turn  
the TV off and then on again to restart the lamp.

Chapter 6: Using the TV’s features  
To listen to a second audio program on an analog  
station (if available):  
Select SAP in step 3 above.  
Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts  
The multi-channel TV sound (MTS) feature allows you to  
output high-fidelity stereo sound. MTS also can transmit a  
second audio program (SAP) containing a second language,  
music, or other audio information (when provided by  
individual stations).  
Note:  
A second audio program (SAP) can be heard only on those  
TV stations that offer it. For example, a station might  
broadcast another language as a second audio program. If  
you have SAP on, you will see the current program on the  
screen but hear the other language instead of the program’s  
normal audio.  
When the TV receives a stereo or SAP broadcast, the word  
“STEREO” or “SAP” appears on-screen when E is pressed.  
The MTS feature is not available when the TV is in VIDEO  
mode.  
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.  
To listen to stereo sound:

Blocking TV programs and movies  
by rating (V-Chip)  
Some TV programs and movies include signals that classify  
the content of the program (violence, sex, dialog, language).  
The V-Chip feature in this TV detects the signals and blocks  
the programs according to the ratings you select. (For rating  
descriptions, see the tables on the next page.)  
Downloading an additional rating system  
for blocking TV programs and movies  
In the future, an additional rating system may become  
available for use in selectively blocking programs.  
Note: The currently tuned station must be receiving a digital  
signal before an additional rating system can be downloaded.  
To download the additional rating system

Chapter 8: Troubleshooting  
Noisy picture  
General troubleshooting  
If you are watching an analog channel (off-air broadcast  
or Cable TV), you can set the CableClear®/DNR  
feature to AUTO to reduce visible interference in the TV  
picture (- page 58).  
Before calling a service technician, please check this chapter  
for a possible cause of the problem and some solutions you can  
try.  
Video Input Selection problems  
If the Input Selection window does not appear when  
you press + on the remote control or TV, press + a  
second time, which will change to the next video input  
source and display the Input Selection window.  
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 45).  
Cannot view external signals or channel 3 or 4  
If you cannot view signals from external devices  
connected to VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, ColorStream®,  
HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3, PC, or from channels 3 or 4,  
make sure the Input Lock is set to Off (- page 52).  
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.  
Poor color or no color  
The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another  
channel.  
Other problems  
Adjust the Tint and/or Color (- page 44).  
If your TV’s problem is not addressed in this  
Troubleshooting section or the recommended solution  
has not worked, use the Restore Factory Defaults  
procedure (- page 36).  
Picture brightness changes soon after turning on TV  
If you set the lamp mode to Low Power, each time you  
turn on the TV, the lamp will start out in High Bright  
mode but will switch to Low Power mode after a short  
period of time. You may notice a change in screen  
brightness when this happens. This is normal and is not a  
sign of malfunction (- page 57).  
TV will not turn on  
Make sure the power cord is plugged in, and then press  
p.  
The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the  
batteries or try the control panel buttons.  
If you have recently replaced the lamp unit, make sure the  
lamp unit and lamp unit door are installed properly  
(- pages 63–65).  
Poor composite or S-video picture  
If 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.  
The lamp unit may need to be replaced (-pages 63–65).  
Also see “LED indications” (- page 62).  
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 powered off and then quickly on again when  
the lamp unit is hot, it may take several minutes for the  
picture to appear on-screen. This is a property of DLP®  
TV lamp technology and is NOT a sign of malfunction.  
For details, see “IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT HOT  
LAMP RESTART” (- page 6).  
Picture problems  
General picture problems  
Check the antenna/cable connections (- Chapter 2).  
Press + on the remote control or TV and select a valid  
video input source (- page 37). If no device is  
connected to a particular input on the TV, no picture will  
display when you select that particular input source. For  
device connection details, see Chapter 2.  
Antenna reception may be poor. Use a highly directional  
outdoor antenna (if applicable).  
– 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.  
The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another  
channel.  
Adjust the picture qualities (- page 44).  
If you are using a VCR, make sure l on the remote  
control is set correctly (- page 24).  
Do not connect both a standard video cable and an  
S-video cable to the VIDEO 2 input at the same time  
(- page 15).  
LED indications while in reboot from standby  
When you plug the power cord in, the yellow LED will  
blink until the TV enters standby mode, (plugged in but  
not powered on). This is normal and is not a sign of  
malfunction.  
Sound problems  
Check the antenna/cable connections (- Chapter 2).  
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 47).  
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 47).  
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 47).  
Rating blocking (V-Chip) problems  
If you forget your PIN code: While the PIN code entering  
screen is displayed, press E four times within 5  
seconds. The PIN code you previously stored will be  
cleared (- page 49).  
The V-Chip feature is available for the U.S. V-Chip  
system only (- page 50).  
When using an external audio amplifier, if you connect  
the amplifier to the FIXED AUDIO OUT terminals, the  
volume of the amplifier must be set above 0 or you will  
not hear any sound (- page 20).  
Remote control problems  
Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device  
mode (- page 23).  
Remove all obstructions between the remote control and  
the TV.  
The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the  
batteries (- page 22).  
Your 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  
your TV remote control does not operate a specific  
feature on another device, use the remote control that  
came with the device (- pages 24–28).  
If the TV still does not act as expected, use the Reset  
Factory Defaults procedure (- page 36).  
Channel tuning problems  
Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device  
mode (- page 23).  
The channel may have been erased from the channel  
memory by the Channel Add/Delete feature. Add the  
channel to the channel memory (- page 32).  
The channel may be blocked by the Channels Block  
feature. Unblock the channel (- page 51).  
If you are unable to tune digital channels, check the  
antenna configuration (- page 31). If you are still  
unable to tune digital channels, clear all channels from  
the channel list (- page 33) and reprogram channels  
into the channel memory (- page 32). If you are still  
unable to tune digital channels, use the Reset Factory  
Defaults procedure (- page 36). Also see “TV stops  
responding to controls” and “Other problems”  
(- page 60).  
Closed caption problems  
If the program or video you selected is not closed-  
captioned, no captions will display (- page 45).  
If text is not available, a black rectangle may appear.  
If this happens, turn off the closed caption feature (-  
page 45).  
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 45).

General Provisions  
If and to the extent that any provision of this limited warranty should  
generally be found to be unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall  
be severed from the warranty and deemed not to form part of the warranty.  
The remaining provisions of this warranty shall be and remain valid and  
enforceable. If and to the extent that any provision of this limited warranty  
as it relates to any of the Related Parties is found to be invalid or  
unenforceable in respect of that party (the “Excluded Party”), the  
Excluded Party shall be deemed to be severed or excluded from the  
provision, and the provision shall remain valid, enforceable and  
applicable in respect of the other or remaining Related Parties.  
No person, agent, distributor, dealer or company is authorized to change,  
modify or extend the terms of these warranties in any manner whatsoever.  
To the extent permitted by law, this limited warranty shall be governed and  
construed in accordance with the laws of Ontario.  
Arbitration and Dispute Resolution  
If there is any inconsistency between this limited warranty, on the one  
hand, and any statement in the packaging of the Television or in any other  
document enclosed with, or used in the context of the promotion or sale  
of, the Television, on the other hand, the provisions of this limited warranty  
shall prevail.  
To the extent not precluded by law, any claim, dispute, controversy or  
disagreement (whether for breach of warranty, breach of contract, tort  
(including negligence), under a statute or under any other law or form of  
action) against any of the Related Parties arising out of, or otherwise  
relating to: (i) this warranty; (ii) the Television; (iii) any oral or written  
representations, statements, brochures, press releases, advertising,  
announcement, point of sale display, or promotional material relating to the  
Television; (iv) the relationships that result from this warranty, (the  
foregoing claims, disputes controversies and disagreements are  
collectively referred to as the “Dispute”), shall be referred to and resolved  
by final and binding arbitration (to the exclusion of the courts). To the  
extent not precluded by law, you agree to waive any right that you may  
have to commence or participate in any representative or class proceeding  
against the Related Parties relating to any Dispute. If and where applicable  
and to the extent not precluded by law, you further agree to opt out of any  
such representative or class proceedings. Arbitration of any Dispute will  
be conducted in the forum and in the manner as agreed to between you  
and TCL. Failing such agreement, the arbitration will be conducted by one  
arbitrator pursuant to the laws and rules relating to arbitration generally in  
force in the jurisdiction in which you reside at the time that the Dispute  
arises. To the extent not precluded by law, no claim, dispute, controversy  
or disagreement of any other person may be joined or combined with any  
Dispute by you, without the prior written consent of TCL.
