Installing the remote control  
batteries  
Remote control effective range  
For optimum performance, aim the remote control directly at  
the TV remote sensor. Make sure there are no obstructions  
between the remote control and the TV.  
To install the remote control batteries:  
1
Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote control.  
Point remote control  
toward remote sensor  
on front of TV.  
2
Install two “AA” size alkaline batteries. Match the + and  
– symbols on the batteries to the symbols on the battery  
compartment.  
16.4 ft (5m)  
3
Slide the battery cover on to the remote control until the  
lock snaps.  
Caution: Never throw batteries into a fire.  
Note:  
Be sure to use AA size alkaline batteries.  
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.  
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.  
Always remove the 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.

Your TV remote control has one dedicated TV mode and three  
programmable multi-brand modes: CABLE/SAT, DVD, and  
VCR/PVR. The default device modes and programmable  
device modes are listed below.  
Device code setup

Find the code for your device brand in the remote control  
device code table on pages 18–21.  
Note: The TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate  
most Toshiba devices. To operate a non-Toshiba device or a  
Toshiba device that the remote control is not preprogrammed  
to operate, you will need to program the remote control. See  
“Programming the remote control to operate your other  
devices” (at right).  
If more than one code is listed, try each one separately  
until you find one that works.

device or some of the features on that device, use the device’s  
remote control or the controls on the device.

Point the remote control at the device and press p to test  
the code.  
If the device responds to the remote control, you have  
entered the correct code.  
If the device does not respond to the remote control,  
repeat steps 3 and 4 using another code.  
Note: After programming the remote control, make sure  
all necessary keys on the TV remote control (in addition to  
p) 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.

Note:  
To control the TV, press the “TV” mode select button.  
Using the volume lock feature (8000)  
By default (factory setting), the remote control’s volume keys  
Although the TV remote control includes codes for many  
devices, it may not include codes for some or all of the  
features on certain devices you want to control. If you are  
unable to program the TV remote control to operate your  
device or some of the features on that device, use the  
device’s original remote control (or the control buttons on  
the device).  
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.  
(z Z and W) are locked to the “TV” device mode.  
The remote control will operate the TV’s volume, even when  
“TV” is not the current device mode.  
If you unlock the remote control’s volume keys, each device  
mode will have its own volume (if the device ID has volume  
data). The remote control will operate the volume of the device  
associated with the current device mode.  
If you lock the remote control’s volume keys to a specific  
device mode, the remote control will operate the volume of the  
device associated with the locked mode, even when the locked  
mode is not the current device mode.  
See “Using the remote control to operate your other devices”  
on page 16.  
To lock the remote control’s volume keys to a specific  
mode (CABLE/SAT in this example):  
Searching and sampling the code of a  
device (8500)  
If you do not know the device code for a particular device, you

You must configure the antenna input source before  
programming channels (- page 25).  
If the Antenna 1 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 1 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

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 have a CableCARDinserted, channel programming  
for the ANT 1 input is disabled because the CableCARD™  
automatically loads the Cable channel list into the TV’s  
channel memory. See the Installation Guide for details on  
CableCARD.

To listen to an alternate language on an ATSC digital  
station (if available):  
Highlight the Language field in step 3 at left, and then press  
C or c to select the language you prefer.  
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).  
Adjusting the audio quality  
You can adjust the audio quality by adjusting the bass, treble,  
and balance.  
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

Note:  
You can typically leave the TV in Stereo mode,  
because it will automatically output the type of sound  
being broadcast (stereo or monaural).  
If the stereo sound is noisy, select Mono to reduce the  
noise.  
To listen to a second audio program on an analog  
station (if available):  
Select SAP in step 3 above.  
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.  
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: Using the THINChome network feature  
The Toshiba Home Interactive Network Connection  
(THINC) feature allows you to connect the TV to your home  
network, which will enable access to file sharing and  
e-mail scheduling features.  
File sharing  
You can access JPEG and MP3 files that are stored on your  
networked home PC and view/play them on the TV.  
For home network troubleshooting tips, see Chapter 8.  
The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of  
television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is  
prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and  
other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal  
liability.  
Note: Requires a home network* (- Installation Guide).  
Does NOT require Internet/e-mail service.  
B. Setting up the network address  
E-mail scheduling of recordings and reminders  
You can schedule recordings and reminders by sending an  
e-mail to the TV from any PC.  
To set up the network address:  
1
2
First, try automatically setting up the network address  
(below).  
Note:  
Requires a compatible recording device (- Installation  
Guide); a home network* (- Installation Guide); and home  
Internet service with a dedicated POP3 e-mail address for  
the TV (different from your personal e-mail address).  
If the automatic setup is not successful, you can either  
retry the automatic setup (below) or try manually setting  
up the network address (- page 58).  
Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to obtain  
and set up Internet/e-mail service.  
Note:  
If you used an Ethernet crossover cable to connect your PC  
directly to the TV, you will not be able to use the automatic  
setup, and must manually set up the network address.  
You will NOT be able to access or browse the Internet  
through the TV.  
Follow the steps in sections A through D (- pages 57–61)  
to set up and use the TV’s home network features.  
If you used a hub or switch to connect the TV to your home  
network, you will not be able to use the automatic setup, and  
must manually set up the network address.  
If you used a router with built-in DHCP functionality, use the  
automatic setup. Manual setup may not work.

G. Using e-mail scheduling  
will send a reply e-mail indicating whether the e-mailed  
request succeeded or failed. See “Receiving an e-mail  
from the TV” (- page 75).  
You can use the e-mail scheduling feature to schedule and  
delete recordings and reminders by sending a “request e-mail”  
to the TV’s e-mail address from any PC.  
The four commands the TV will accept are ADD, DELETE,  
GET, and HELP, as described in this section.  
If you have not already done so, follow the instructions in  
sections A and B (- page 57), and in section F (- page 67),  
before proceeding.  
When a recording is scheduled via e-mail, the recording device  
used will be the VCR connected to the TV's analog A/V OUT  
terminals (see item 4 on page 9 for the location of the A/V  
OUT terminals; see the separate Installation Guide for various  
VCR connection examples).  
Formatting a request e-mail

an ID in the “ID” field and set the “ID Required” field to On. If you set  
the “ID Required” field to Off, you do not need to include the ID tag

Chapter 8: Troubleshooting  
Picture problems  
General picture problems  
General troubleshooting  
Check the antenna/cable connections (- Installation  
Guide).  
Before calling a service technician, please check this chapter  
for a possible cause of the problem and some solutions you can  
try.  
Press + on the remote control or TV and select a valid  
video input source (- page 32). 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 the Installation Guide.  
Antenna reception may be poor. Use a highly directional  
outdoor antenna (if applicable).  
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 43).  
The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another  
channel.  
TV plays a recorded announcement when LEDs are blinking  
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  
“LED indications” on page 80 for details).  
Adjust the picture qualities (- page 42).  
If you are using a VCR, make sure L on the remote  
control is set to the correct mode (see item 22 on page  
13).  
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 (- Installation  
Guide).  
Do not connect both a standard video cable and an S-  
video cable to the same set of VIDEO inputs (VIDEO 1,  
or VIDEO 2) at the same time (- Installation Guide).  
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.  
Other problems  
If your TV’s problem is not addressed in this  
Noisy picture  
If you are watching an tuned analog channel (off-air  
Troubleshooting section or the recommended solution  
has not worked, use the Reset Factory Defaults procedure  
(- page 31).  
broadcast or Cable TV), you can set the CableClear®  
feature to AUTO to reduce visible interference in the TV  
picture (- page 54).  
TV will not turn on  
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.  
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 81–83).  
Cannot view external signals or channel 3 or 4  
If you cannot view signals from external devices  
connected to VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, or ColorStream®, or  
from channels 3 or 4, make sure the Input Lock is set to  
Off (- page 50).  
The lamp unit may need to be replaced (-pages 81–83).  
Also see “LED indications” (- page 80).  
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 2).  
Poor color or no color  
The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another  
channel.  
Adjust the Tint and/or Color (- page 42).  
When the ColorStream® signal source is active, the  
VIDEO OUT terminal does not output video. To receive  
video from the VIDEO OUT terminal, a standard video  
or S-video IN connection must be used instead of the  
ColorStream® connections.  
POP problems  
If you label all of the inputs as “Hide,” the POP feature  
will be disabled. If you then attempt to access the POP  
feature, the message “Not Available” will appear on-  
screen (- page 40).

Picture brightness changes soon after turning on TV  
Remote control problems  
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 55).  
Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device  
mode (- page 16).  
Remove all obstructions between the remote control and  
the TV.  
The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the  
batteries (- page 11).  
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 (- page 16).  
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.  
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  
If the TV still does not act as expected, use the Reset  
Factory Defaults procedure (- page 31).  
Channel tuning problems  
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.  
Make sure the remote control is set to the correct device  
mode (- page 16).  
The channel may have been erased from the channel  
memory by the Channel Add/Delete feature. Add the  
channel to the channel memory (- page 27).  
The channel may be blocked by the Channels Block  
feature. Unblock the channel (- page 49).  
If you are unable to tune digital channels, check the  
antenna configuration (- page 25). If you are still  
unable to tune digital channels, clear all channels from  
the channel list (-page 27) and reprogram channels into  
the channel memory (- page 26). If you are still unable  
to tune digital channels, use the Reset Factory Defaults  
procedure (- page 31). Also see “TV stops responding  
to controls” and “Other problems” (- page 76).  
– 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.  
Sound problems  
Check the antenna/cable connections (- Installation  
Guide).  
The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another  
channel.  
Closed caption problems  
If the program or video you selected is not closed-  
captioned, no captions will display (- page 43).  
If text is not available, a black rectangle may appear.  
If this happens, turn off the closed caption feature (-  
page 43).  
The sound may be muted. Press z.  
If you hear no sound, try setting the MTS feature to  
Stereo mode (- page 45).  
Make sure the Speakers function in the Audio Setup  
menu is set correctly (- page 46).  
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 45).  
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 45).  
When using an external audio amplifier, if you connect  
the amplifier to the VAR. AUDIO OUT terminals, the  
volume of the TV and amplifier must be set above 0 or  
you will not hear any sound (- Installation Guide).  
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 43).  
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 47).  
The V-Chip feature is available for the U.S. V-Chip  
system only (- page 48).

message “Not Available While Recording” will appear  
on-screen.  
If you are recording a digital channel, you can only  
change analog channels while recording is in progress. If  
you are recording an analog channel, you can only  
change digital channels while the recording is in  
progress. This is because the TV tuner that is being  
recorded (digital or analog) will be locked on the channel  
that is currently recording.
