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 personal e-mail features.

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* (- page 24). Does NOT require Internet/e-mail service.

Personal E-mail

The Personal E-mail feature allows you to access your e-mail server through the TV.

Note:

•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.
