Important notes about your

LCD TV

The following symptoms are technical limitations of LCD

Display technology and are not an indication of malfunction;

therefore, Toshiba is not responsible for perceived issues

resulting from these symptoms.

1) An afterimage (ghost) may appear on the screen if a fixed, non-

moving image is displayed for a long period of time. The

afterimage is not permanent and will disappear in a short period of

time.

2) The LCD panel contained in this TV is manufactured using an

extremely high level of precision technology; however, there may

be an occasional pixel (dot of light) that does not operate properly

(does not light, remains constantly lit, etc.). This is a structural

property of LCD technology, is not a sign of malfunction, and is

not covered under your warranty. Such pixels are not visible when

the picture is viewed from a normal viewing distance.

Note: Interactive video games that involve shooting a “gun”

type of joystick at an on-screen target may not work with this

TV.

2Install two “AA” size alkaline batteries. Match the + and

– symbols on the batteries to the symbols on the battery

compartment.

3Slide 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.

Chapter 2: Using the remote control

Using the remote control to operate

your other devices

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.

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).

Note: Although your new TV’s remote control includes codes

for many devices, it may not include codes for some or all of

the features on certain devices you wish to control. If you are

unable to program the TV’s remote control to operate your

device or some of the features on that device, use the device’s

remote control or the controls on the device.

Programming the remote control to

operate your other devices

Device code setup

1Find the code for your device brand in the remote control

device code table on pages 17–20.

If more than one code is listed, try each one separately

until you find one that works.

2Press the applicable mode select button (CABLE/SAT,

DVD, or VCR/PVR), until the mode select button blinks

3 times.

3While holding down E, press the Number buttons to

enter the category code (0,1,2,3,4,or 5, as described

below) plus the four-digit device code for your device.

•If a valid code is entered, the mode select button will

blink twice.

•If an invalid code is entered, the mode select button will

blink one long blink.

4Point 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.

Chapter 2: Using the remote control

5To control the TV, press the “TV” mode select button.

Note:

•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.

Searching and sampling the code of a

device (8500)

If you do not know the device code for a particular device, you

can cycle the remote control through the available codes for

that device mode and sample the functions to find the code that

operates the target device. The keys available to be sampled,

provided they are applicable to that mode, are p, 1, z, <,

and S. Invalid keys will be ignored while in program mode.

To cycle through each available device code and

sample its functions:

1Press the appropriate mode select button on the remote

control.

2While holding down E, press 8, 5, 0, 0. The remote

control will enter program mode.

3Point the remote control at the target device and press p

(or other function buttons that are available to be

sampled).

4If the device responds to the remote control:

Press E to store the device code. The mode select

button will blink two times and the remote control will

exit the program mode.

If the device does not respond to the remote control:

Press B, and then press p. Repeat this step until the

device responds to the remote control, and then press

Note: When a search cycle is completed, the mode select

button will blink three times. The remote control will begin

to cycle through the available codes again. If no key is

pressed within 10 seconds during programming, the

remote control will exit the program mode and return to the

previous code.

Using the volume lock feature (8000)

By default (factory setting), the remote control’s volume keys

(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 15.

To lock the remote control’s volume keys to a specific

mode (CABLE/SAT in this example):

1Press CABLE/SAT.

2While holding down the E button, press 8, 0, 0, 0.

3Press z. The CABLE/SAT mode select button will blink

two times (locked).

The remote control’s volume keys will now operate the

volume of the device associated with the CABLE/SAT

mode, even when CABLE/SAT is not the current device

mode.

To unlock the remote control’s volume keys:

1While holding down E, press 8, 0, 0, 0.

2Press Z. The CABLE/SAT mode select button will blink

four times (unlocked).

Operational feature reset (8900)

This feature clears all programmed remote control features not

related to “Device code setup” and resets the volume lock to

the “TV” device mode.

To reset the remote control:

While holding down E, press 8, 9, 0, 0. The mode select

button will respond with four blinks.

Chapter 4: Setting up your TV

Programming channels into the

TV’s channel memory

When you press < or , on the remote control or TV control

panel, your TV will stop only on the channels you programmed

into the TV’s channel memory.

Follow the steps below to program channels into the TV’s

channel memory.

Programming channels automatically

Your TV can automatically detect all active channels in your

area and store them in its memory. After the channels are

programmed automatically, you can manually add or erase

individual channels in the channel memory.

Note:

•You must configure the antenna input source before

programming channels (- page 24).

•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

source channel from the memory, you must manually delete

it.

•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 have a CableCARD™ inserted, 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 program channels automatically:

1Configure the antenna input sources, if you have not

already done so. (- page 24).

2Press Y and open the Setup menu.

3Highlight Installation and press T.

4(A new set of Installation menu icons will appear, as

shown below.) Open the Terrestrial menu, highlight

Channel Program, and press T.

5Highlight ANT 1 or ANT 2, depending on which antenna

input you want to program channels for, and then press T

to start automatic channel programming.

The TV will automatically cycle through all the antenna

channels, and store all active channels in the channel

memory. While the TV is cycling through the channels,

the message “Scanning channels, please wait” appears (as

shown above).

6To cancel channel programming, either press O 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 to a channel or input in Select mode:

1While watching TV, press 3 C or # c to open the

Channel Browser™ banner and surf back to a previous

item or surf forward to the next item in the list.

In Select mode, when you stop on an item in the browser

banner, it will be highlighted but you must press T to

tune the TV to the highlighted item.

2Press O to close the Channel Browser™ banner.

Adding and clearing channels and inputs in the

channel history

Adding channels and inputs to the channel history:

As a channel or input is tuned, the Channel Browser™ adds it

to the History and displays it on the “right side” of the Browser

banner. Previously tuned channels/inputs are “shifted” to the

left, eventually moving off the left side of the Browser banner.

Press 3 C to surf backward through the previously tuned

channels/inputs. Any channel or input that is tuned repeatedly

will not be repeated in the History, but instead is moved to the

end of the list on the right side of the Browser banner.

The Channel Browser™ will store the following channels:

•All channels that are tuned using the numeric buttons on the

remote control.

•All channels that are tuned using < or , on the remote

control for at last 5 second.

•All inputs that are tuned for at least 5 seconds.

Note: Whenever an item is selected that cannot be tuned (for

various reasons), the TV will automatically tune to the

previously viewed channel or input.

Clearing channels from the channel history

•Reconfiguring the ANT 1 or ANT 2 input will clear the

channel history.

Note: See page 24 for details on configuring the antenna

inputs.

•Removing the CableCARD™ will clear the channel history.

•Once 32 channels or inputs are stored in the history list, the

oldest item will be removed from the list when a new

channel or input is tuned.

•If History List in the Channel Browser Setup is set to

“Power Off Clear (On),” turning off the TV will clear the

channel History.

Tuning to the next programmed channel

To tune to the next programmed channel:

Press < or , on the remote control or TV control panel.

Note: This feature will not work unless you program channels

into the TV’s channel memory (- page 25).

Tuning to a specific channel (programmed

from any other channel by pressing R.

To memorize a channel in the R button:

1Tune the TV to the channel you want to program into the

R button.

2Press and hold R for about 2 seconds until the message

“Channel Memorized” appears on-screen. The channel

has been programmed into the R button.

3You can then change channels repeatedly, and when you

press R, the memorized channel will be tuned.

The TV will return to the memorized channel one time only.

Once you press R and then change channels again, the

CH RTN memory will be cleared and the button will function

as Channel Return, by switching back and forth between the

last two channels that were tuned.

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).

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.

To listen to stereo sound:

2Highlight Audio Setup and press T.

3In the MTS field, select Stereo.

4To save the new settings, highlight Done and press T.

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.

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.

Adjusting the audio quality

You can adjust the audio quality by adjusting the bass, treble,

3Press b or B to highlight the item you want to adjust

(Bass, Treble, or Balance).

4Press C or c to adjust the level.

•C makes the bass or treble weaker or increases the

balance in the left channel (depending on the item

selected).

•c makes the bass or treble stronger or increases the

balance in the right channel (depending on the item

selected).

Chapter 7: Using the THINC™ home 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.

Note: Requires a home network* (- Installation Guide).

Does NOT require Internet/e-mail service.

•E-mail scheduling of recordings and reminders

You can schedule recordings and reminders by sending an

e-mail to the TV from any PC.

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).

•Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to obtain

and set up Internet/e-mail service.

•You will NOT be able to access or browse the Internet

through the TV.

Follow the steps in sections A through D (- pages 56–61)

to set up and use the TV’s home network features.

*The THINC™ home network feature is compatible only with

Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and the Home and Professional

F. Setting up e-mail scheduling

You can remotely schedule and delete recordings and

reminders via e-mail to the TV from any PC.

Note:

•If you have not already done so, follow the instructions in

sections A and B (- page 56), before proceeding.

•Before you can schedule recordings, the time and date in

Setting up SMTP authentication

If your e-mail provider does not allow unknown e-mail clients

to send e-mail through them (requires authentication), or uses

port numbers different from the default, you will need to fill

out the fields in the advanced section of the e-mail scheduler

setup.

To set up the SMTP authentication:

1Repeat steps 1-4 of “Setting up E-mail Scheduling.”

2Press the B, b, C and c buttons on your remote to get to

the Advanced button on the screen and press T.

Another E-mail Scheduling Setup window will appear.

This field controls the SMTP authentication feature. This

is turned OFF by default. Setting this to “Same as POP”

fills the SMTP Username and SMTP Password fields with

the data filled in the “Account” and “Password” fields.

Select “Different” if the username and password for your

outgoing (SMTP) mail server are different from your

incoming (POP3) mail server.

SMTP Username:

This field holds the user name required by the SMTP

(outgoing email) server. This is typically the same as the

“Account” field, but may be different depending on the

ISP / SMTP server used. This field is enabled only if

SMTP authentication field above is set to “Different”.

SMTP Password:

This field holds the password required by the SMTP

server. This is typically the same as the “Password” field

used to receive e-mails, but may be different depending on

the ISP / SMTP server used. This field is enabled only if

SMTP authentication field above is set to “Different”.

POP Port number:

Denotes the port number used by the user’s POP3

(incoming mail) server. This is set to 110 by default.

SMTP Port number:

Denotes the port number used by the user’s SMTP

(outgoing mail) server. This is set to 25 by default. Some

ISPs block this port to prevent mail relay attacks and

specify an alternative port.

Check for e-mails every:

This field controls the frequency of checking e-mail.

Options are 5 min, 15 min, 30 min and 1 hour.

terminals (see item 4 on page 8 for the location of the A/V

OUT terminals; see the separate Installation Guide for various

VCR connection examples).

E-mail parameters

Note: Some e-mail clients automatically insert e-mail

signatures, which the TV will try to process. These may

generate unwanted error messages.

•The maximum allowable e-mail size is 16 KB. E-mails over

16 KB will be automatically deleted.

•E-mails sent to the TV cannot contain any attachments. The

TV will automatically delete any e-mail with an attached

file.

•E-mails can be formatted either Plain Text or Rich Text

Format (HTML style).

•E-mails sent to the TV that are not properly formatted,

are from the wrong e-mail address, or have the wrong ID

(if specified) will be deleted.

•All e-mails sent to the TV will be deleted eventually.

Note:

•Toshiba is not responsible for any damage or loss

caused directly or indirectly by the failure of the e-mail

scheduling feature to record content intended to be

recorded.

•Toshiba is not responsible for, nor has any control over,

any content recorded and/or viewed using the e-mail

scheduling feature. Further, the e-mail scheduling

feature is not meant to be used for unauthorized

recording and/or viewing of copyrighted works.

•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.

HELP request e-mail

When you send a HELP request e-mail to the TV, you will

receive a reply e-mail that contains helpful information about

formatting a request e-mail (syntax, definition of the various

commands, etc.).

The only required tag for a HELP request e-mail is HELP.

*The ID is case sensitive.

The ID tag is required only if you created 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 line in your request

e-mail. See “Description of fields in the E-mail Scheduling Setup

window” (- page 70).

Receiving an e-mail from the TV

If the e-mailed request was successful, the reply e-mail from

the TV to your PC will contain one of the following (or similar)

messages, depending on the command you sent to the TV:

•ADD SUCCESS

•DELETE SUCCESS

If the e-mailed request was not successful, the reply e-mail

from the TV to your PC will contain one of the following (or

similar) messages, depending on the command you sent to the

TV:

•FAILED – SCHEDULE CONFLICT

The new recording or reminder you attempted to schedule

conflicts with an existing one that was previously scheduled.

If you want to schedule the new recording or reminder, you

will have to DELETE the existing one first, and then ADD

the new one.

•FAILED – COULD NOT UNDERSTAND “Line x”

The e-mailed request has an error in the line of text

referenced in the error message. Correct the text and resend

the e-mail.

•FAILED – NO DEVICE AVAILABLE

Make sure you have a recording device connected to the TV

Chapter 8: Troubleshooting

General troubleshooting

Before calling a service technician, please check this chapter

for a possible cause of the problem and some solutions you can

try.

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 41).

LED indications while in reboot from standby

•When you plug the power cord in the red 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.

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.
