Welcome to Toshiba
Thank you for purchasing this Toshiba TV, one of the most
innovative DLP™ projection TVs on the market. We have
provided two separate guides to facilitate the installation and
operation of your TV.
Please use the Guides in the order shown below to get the most
enjoyment from your new TV.
• The “Installation Guide” explains how to connect your TV to
your antenna and equipment.
• The “Operating Guide” (this Guide) provides step-by-step
instructions for using your TV’s many features.
Important notes about your
DLP™ projection TV
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. See “Lamp unit replacement
and care” (- pages 47–49).
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 42 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.
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 29 of the “care” information
in the separate Installation Guide.
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.
7) 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 Quick Restart™ feature
and is not a sign of TV malfunction. You can set
the Quick Restart™ feature to stop the fans as soon as the TV
is powered off. See “Setting the Quick Restart™ feature”
(- page 20).
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 46).
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.

“Voice announce” feature
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 46 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.
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 on-screen in the following situations:
• When the Quick Restart™ feature is set to OFF 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.
