This manual describes the Toshiba REGZA AV/RV Digital Series television, focusing on its core functionalities, setup, and maintenance. It is designed to guide users through connecting and tuning the television, as well as operating its most commonly used features. For advanced functions, users are directed to an online manual at www.toshiba-om.net, an initiative by Toshiba to reduce paper consumption.
The television is designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards. Users are advised to read the following precautions to ensure safe operation and prevent damage.
Air Circulation: To prevent overheating, ensure at least 10cm of clear space around the television for adequate ventilation. Avoid placing the TV in dusty areas.
Heat Damage: Do not expose the television to direct sunlight or near a heater. Avoid locations with extremely high temperatures or humidity. The recommended operating temperature range is 5°C (41°F) to 35°C (94°F).
Mains Supply: The television requires a 220-240V AC 50/60Hz power supply. Always ensure the mains plug is fully inserted into the socket. If using a decoder or media recorder, ensure the mains plug is connected through these devices first. In the UK, the fuse fitted in the plug is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362. If the fuse needs replacement, use an approved type and rating. If in doubt, consult a competent electrician.
General Do's and Don'ts:
Where to Install: For comfortable viewing, place the television away from direct sunlight and strong lights. Soft, indirect lighting is recommended. Use curtains or blinds to prevent direct sunlight on the screen. The TV should be placed on a stable, level surface capable of supporting its weight. For added safety, secure the TV to the surface or a wall using a sturdy strap. LCD display panels are manufactured with high precision, but some parts of the screen may have missing picture elements or luminous spots. This is not a malfunction. Ensure the television is in a position where it cannot be pushed or hit by objects, and that small items cannot be inserted into slots or openings.
Cleaning the Screen and Cabinet: Turn off the power, then clean the screen and cabinet with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use proprietary polishes or solvents as they may cause damage.
Important Notes: The digital reception function is effective only in countries listed in the "COUNTRY SET UP" section of the "DIGITAL MENU". Some functions may not be available depending on the country/area. Reception of future additional or modified services is not guaranteed. If stationary images (e.g., 4:3 broadcasts, text services, channel identification logos, computer displays, video games, on-screen menus) are left on the screen for extended periods, they could become conspicuous. It is advisable to reduce both brightness and contrast settings. Very long, continuous use of a 4:3 picture on a 16:9 screen may result in some image retention at the 4:3 outlines. This is not a defect and is not covered under warranty. Regular use of other size modes (e.g., Superlive) and varying the "side panel" brightness (if available) will prevent permanent retention.
Exclusion Clause: Toshiba is not liable for loss or damage caused by fire, earthquake, accidental damage, intentional misuse, improper conditions, loss/damage while in third-party possession, failure to follow manual instructions, or misuse/malfunction with associated equipment. Toshiba is also not liable for consequential loss/damage, including loss of profit, business interruption, or loss of recorded data. NOTE: A Toshiba wall bracket or stand, where available, must be used to maintain the product's BEAB approval.
When Does Switchover Happen? The exact switchover date depends on the transmitter serving your area. Users can check their specific date on www.digitaluk.co.uk. The UK is transitioning to digital television services between late 2007 and 2012, region by region. Digital UK is an independent, non-profit organization providing impartial information on preparing for the digital TV switchover.
How Switchover Affects Your TV Equipment: This new TV has a built-in digital tuner, allowing it to receive Freeview signals by simply plugging in an aerial. Check if you can get digital TV through your aerial now, or if you need to wait until switchover. During the switchover in your area, you will need to re-tune your TV at least twice to continue receiving existing channels and pick up new ones. Digital UK will advise when to re-tune. If you connect your TV to satellite or cable with a digital box, it will not be affected by switchover, and you won't need to re-tune.
How to Re-tune: As new services are broadcast, re-tuning is necessary. Auto tuning will completely re-tune the television and update the channel list.
The remote control provides simple at-a-glance access to various functions:
Inserting Batteries and Effective Range: Remove the back cover to access the battery compartment. Ensure AAA, IEC R03 1.5V batteries are inserted correctly. Do not mix used/old batteries with new ones or different types. Remove dead batteries immediately to prevent acid leakage. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat. The remote control performs optimally within five meters and an angle of 30 degrees from the center of the television. Reduced range indicates batteries may need replacing.
Before connecting any external equipment, turn off all main power switches or remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
Connections:
Important Notes on Connections:
All necessary adjustments and controls are made using the remote control, but some functions can be accessed via buttons on the television.
Switching On: If the RED LED is unlit, check the mains plug and press the POWER button on the left side of the television. If no picture appears, press the On/Standby button on the remote control. The GREEN LED will light up. To put the television into Standby, press the On/Standby button on the remote. To view the television again, press On/Standby. NOTE: When the POWER switch is turned off, the digital channel position previously viewed may not be memorized.
Using the Remote Control: Press the MENU button to see the menus. The menu appears as a list of five topics. Use the navigation ring (up, down, left, right) to select symbols and their respective options. IMPORTANT: A bar at the bottom of the screen displays control functions like Select, Watch, Back, Watch TV. NOTE: The same menu is displayed in DTV and ATV modes. Items unavailable in a mode will be greyed out. Use the up/down arrows to move through options and OK or right arrow to select. Follow on-screen instructions. To return to the previous programme, press RETURN.
Using the Controls (Sound and Picture):
Before switching on, ensure your decoder and media recorder are in Standby and the aerial is connected.
How to Add New Services (Auto Tuning): Auto tuning completely re-tunes the television and updates the channel list. It is recommended to run DTV Auto tuning periodically to ensure new services are added. All current programmes and settings (favourites, locked programmes) will be lost.
