Welcome to Toshiba  
Congratulations! You have purchased one of the finest color 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.  
The STARTING SETUP feature appears  
the first time you turn on the TV. See page  
21 for details.  
You may need to purchase other audio or video cables to connect your  
equipment. See “Connecting your TV” on page 7 for more information.  
Please read all the safety and operating instructions carefully before  
you begin.  
Exploring your new TV  
You can operate your TV by using the buttons on the front panel or the  
remote control. The front and back panels provide all the inputs you will  
need to connect other equipment to your TV.

Connecting your TV  
NEVER CONNECT THIS TV TO A  
PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC).  
This TV is not intended for use with  
a PC.  
• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your  
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.  
• Standard A/V (audio/video) cables are usually color coded accord-  
ing 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 left (or mono) 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 cables provide better picture performance than standard  
video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video  
compatible components.  
• Component video cables provide better picture performance than  
S-video cables. Component video cables can only be used with  
component video compatible components.  
NOTICE: RISK OF  
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE!  
Do not plug in any power cords  
until you have finished connecting  
all equipment.  
• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use with  
video equipment that has HDMI output (see page 14.)

• one set of standard A/V cables  
TV  
Note:  
If using a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to  
VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.  
For better picture quality, if your VCR has S-  
video, you can use an S-video cable instead  
of the standard video cable. Do not connect a  
standard video cable and an S-video cable to  
VIDEO-1 (or VIDEO-2) simultaneously.  
The unauthorized recording, use, distri-  
bution or revision of television programs,

Connecting a cable converter box or Antenna  
This television has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable  
channels without using a cable company supplied converter box. Some  
cable companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is  
scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the  
use of a descrambler device, which is generally provided by the cable  
company.  
Option 1 : For Subscribers to Basic Cable TV Service  
For basic cable service not requiring a Converter/Descrambler box,  
connect the incoming 75 ohm Coaxial Cable directly to the Antenna  
Jack on the back of the television.  
Option 2 : For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable TV Service  
If you subscribe to a cable service that requires the use of a Converter/  
Descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the Converter/  
Descrambler box and connect the output of the box to the Antenna  
Jack on the back of the television. Follow the connections shown  
below. Set the television to the output of the Converter/Descrambler  
box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to  
select channels.  
Option 3 : For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable  
with Scrambled Premium Channels  
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable channels are  
unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a Converter/  
Descrambler box, you may wish to use a two-set signal splitter (some-  
times called a “two-set coupler”) and an A/B Switch box from the cable  
installer or an electronics supply store. Follow the connections shown  
below. With the switch in the “B” position, you can directly tune any  
nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the “A” position,  
tune your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually  
channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.  
Note:  
When you use a converter box with your TV,  
there may be features that you cannot  
program using the remote control, such as  
labeling channels, blocking channels, and  
programming your favorite channels.

Connecting a DVD player/satellite receiver  
and a VCR  
This connection allows you to watch DVD/satellite, VCR, or TV  
programs. You can record from the satellite receiver and TV, as well as  
record one TV channel while watching another channel.  
You will need:  
• three coaxial cables  
• two sets of standard A/V cables  
• one S-video cable  
• one pair of standard audio cables  
Note:  
From satellite  
You can use a standard video cable instead of  
the S-video cable, but the picture quality will  
decrease. If you use an S-video cable  
between the TV and DVD player/satellite  
receiver, make the audio connections but  
remove the standard video cable. Do not  
connect both an S-video and a standard  
video cable to VIDEO1 (or VIDEO2) at the  
same time or the picture performance will be  
unacceptable.

uncompressed digital video from a DVI[2] device.  
[3] HDCP = High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection.  
[4] EIA/CEA-861/861B compliance covers the  
transmission of uncompressed digital video with high-  
bandwidth digital content protection, which is being  
standardized for reception of high-definition video  
signals.  
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 high  
definition video signals. It will accept and display 480i,  
480p, 720p and 1080i signals.  
Because this is an evolving technology, it is possible  
that some devices may not operate properly with the  
TV.  
NEVER CONNECT THIS TV TO A PERSONAL  
COMPUTER (PC.) This TV is not intended for  
use with a PC.  
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.  
• 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)  
For proper operation, it is recommended that you use  
as shot an HDMI cable as possible. You should not  
encounter difficulty if you use an HDMI cable that is  
shorter than 16.4 ft (5m.)  
To connect a DVI device, you will need:  
• one HDMI–to–DVI adapter cable  
(HDMI type A connector)  
HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate  
analog audio cables are not required (see illustration  
below.)  
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.)  
You must set the HDMI audio input setting to  
“HDMI” in the AUDIO menu (see page 40.)  
• one pair of standard analog audio cables  
Some CDVs (Video CDs) may not output digital audio  
signals. In that case, you may hear sound by connecting  
analog audio cables. If you do use analog audio cables for  
this reason, you will need to set the HDMI audio input  
setting to “DVI” to hear the analog audio (see page 40.)  
Note: If you connect an HDMI device and analog audio  
cables and play media with digital audio output, to hear  
digital audio you must set the HDMI audio input setting  
to “HDMI” (page 40.)  
An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers only video.  
Separate analog audio cables are required (see  
illustration below.)  
You must set the HDMI audio input setting to  
“DVI” in the AUDIO menu (see page 40.)

Connecting an audio system  
This connection allows you to use an audio amplifier and external  
speakers, and adjust the audio level using the TV’s remote control.  
To control the audio, turn on the TV and the stereo amplifier, and turn  
off the TV's built-in speakers (see “Turning off the built-in speakers” on  
page 40.)  
You will need:  
• one pair of standard audio cables  
Note:  
To hear sound when using an external audio amplifier, the volume of  
both the TV and the amplifier must be set above 0 (zero.)  
For example, if the volume of the TV is set to 0, you will not be able to  
hear any sound, even the volume of the amplifier is at its highest level.

Using the remote control  
Preparing the remote control for use  
With the remote control, you can operate your TV, most cable TV  
converters/satellite receivers, VCR and DVD player models together,  
even if they are different brands. If you will be using your TV with a  
Toshiba satellite receiver, VCR or DVD player, your remote control is  
already programmed and ready to use. If you own different brands of  
cable TV converters/satellite receivers, VCRs and/or DVD players, you  
first have to program your remote control. (See “Programming the  
remote control for use with a cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR  
or DVD player” on page 17.)  
Note:  
The TV remote control may not operate your  
VCR, DVD player, or cable TV converter.  
Refer to the owner's manual supplied with the  
applicable equipment to see which features  
may be available. Additionally, the remote  
control for this TV may not support certain  
features available on the original remote  
controls for such additional equipment, in  
which case, it is suggested that you use the  
original remote control for the applicable  
device.  
Installing the remote control batteries  
To install the batteries:  
1. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote control.  
Caution:  
• Never throw batteries into a fire.  
Notes:  
• Be sure to use AAA size batteries.  
• Dispose of batteries in a designated  
disposal area.  
• Attention should be drawn to the environ-  
mental aspects of battery disposal.  
• Do not mix different battery types or  
combine used batteries with new ones.  
• If the remote control does not operate  
correctly, or if the operating range becomes  
reduced, replace both batteries with new  
ones.  
2. Install two “AA” size batteries. Match the + and – signs on the  
batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.  
• If the batteries are dead or if you will not be  
using the remote control for a long time,  
remove the batteries to prevent battery acid  
from leaking into the battery compartment.  
3. Close the battery cover on the remote control until the lock snaps.

Programming the remote control to operate  
your other devices  
Recall  
This remote control is pre-programmed to operate Toshiba satellite  
receivers, VCRs and DVD players. To control cable TV converters/  
satellite receivers, VCRs and DVD players other than Toshiba models,  
you must follow the steps below to program your remote control.  
1. Refer to the code tables (on pages 18 and 19) to find the  
corresponding code for your brand.  
Channel  
Numbers  
TV  
VCR  
DVD  
CBL/SAT  
If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you  
find the one that works.  
2. If you are programming the remote control to operate your:  
• Cable TV converter/satellite receiver: Press “CBL/SAT.”  
• VCR: Press “VCR.”  
• DVD player: Press “DVD.”  
3. While holding down RECALL, press the Channel Number buttons  
to enter the three-digit code for your cable TV converter/satellite  
receiver, VCR or DVD player brand.  
4. Point the remote control at the cable TV converter/satellite  
receiver, VCR or DVD player, and press POWER to test the code.  
• If the cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR or DVD player  
responds, you entered the correct code.  
• If the cable TV converter/satellite receiver, VCR or DVD player  
does not respond, repeat steps 1–4 using another code.  
5. Press “TV” to control the TV.  
Notes:  
• When shipped from the factory, the remote  
control is set to operate your TV.  
For future reference, write down the codes you used:  
• If you do not enter the code within 10  
seconds from step 1 or if you enter a code  
not listed below, this operation is canceled.  
• Each time you replace the batteries, you  
must reprogram the remote control.  
• Some newer VCRs are capable of working  
on either of two remote codes. These VCRs  
have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.”  
If your VCR has this kind of switch and does  
not respond to any of the codes for your  
VCR, set the switch to the other position  
(VCR1 or VCR2) and reprogram the remote  
control.

containing a second language or other audio information.  
Note: The MTS feature is not available in VIDEO mode.  
When the TV receives a stereo or SAP broadcast, the word “STEREO”

(stereo or mono.)  
Note:  
A second audio program (SAP) can be heard  
only on those TV stations that offer it.  
•
If the stereo sound is noisy, select MONO to reduce the noise.  
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.
