Important notes about your DLPª 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 ÒLamp unit replacementÓ on pages 60-64.

2)If you set the lamp mode to LOW POWER, each time you turn on the TV, the lamp will start out in HI BRIGHT mode but will switch to LOW POWER mode in approximately 1 minutes. You will notice a change in screen brightness when this happens. This is not a malfunction. (See page 49 for details.)

3)Each time you turn on the TV, it may take several seconds to go from no picture to full picture brightness.

4)The display on this TV is manufactured using a chip that may contain up to 1.3 million microscopic mirrors. Each of these micromirrors measures less than one-fifth the width of a human hair and represents a single pixel on the television display. These micromirrors are mounted on tiny hinges that enable them to tilt either toward the light source (ON) or away from it (OFF). Occasionally, one of these mirrors may become inoperative, creating a light or dark pixel on the projection surface. This is a structural property of DLPª projection TV technology, and is not a sign of malfunction. Such pixels are not visible when the picture is viewed from a normal viewing distance (see item 29 on page 4).

5)Depending on the media you are viewing, it is possible, although unlikely, that a limited number of viewers may see a Òrainbow effectÓ on the screen, which can, in rare instances, result in eye fatigue. This is a rare occurrence related to technology of this type, and is not a sign of TV malfunction.

6)Always sit approximately 10Ð25 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 on page 4.

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 standby mode 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 turned off. See ÒSelecting the Quick RestartÓ on page 28.

8)The green and red LED lights on the control touchpad (on the lower right corner of the TV screen) indicate your TVÕs current status. If either light flashes, see ÒLED indicationsÓ on page 64 for details.

9)Review all safety and operating information in this ownerÕs manual before you use your TV.

62HMX85, 52HMX85, 46HMX85 specifications

The Toshiba 46HMX85, 62HMX85, and 52HMX85 are a trio of high-definition LCD televisions that have garnered attention for their impressive features and advanced technologies. Designed to enhance the viewing experience, these models incorporate cutting-edge components that cater to the needs of modern consumers.

The 46HMX85 boasts a 46-inch display, while the 62HMX85 features a larger 62-inch screen, and the 52HMX85 sits comfortably in the middle with its 52-inch display. All three models deliver a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, ensuring crisp and clear images with vibrant colors. This high level of resolution is particularly beneficial for watching movies, sports, and gaming, as it allows for a more immersive viewing experience.

One of the standout technologies in these models is Toshiba's proprietary AMR (Active Motion Rate) system, which enhances motion clarity and reduces blurriness during fast-paced scenes. This is especially useful for action movies and live sports broadcasts, where quick movements can often lead to a loss of detail. Additionally, the televisions come equipped with Dynamic Picture Mode, which optimizes brightness and contrast levels based on the ambient light in the room, delivering an ideal viewing experience no matter the time of day.

Connectivity options are abundant with the Toshiba HMX85 series. Each model features multiple HDMI ports, allowing users to connect a variety of devices, such as gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, and sound systems. USB ports are also available for easy access to multimedia files stored on external drives, enabling users to play music, view photos, and watch videos directly on the television.

Another notable characteristic is the built-in 10W speakers that provide decent audio quality, although audiophiles may wish to connect an external sound system for a richer audio experience. The televisions also support various sound enhancement technologies, ensuring that dialogue remains clear and sound immersion is enhanced.

In summary, the Toshiba 46HMX85, 62HMX85, and 52HMX85 are sophisticated LCD televisions that cater to a wide range of entertainment needs. With their full HD resolution, advanced motion clarity technologies, extensive connectivity options, and reliable audio performance, these models are appealing choices for anyone looking to enhance their home entertainment setup. Whether for casual viewing or serious movie nights, Toshiba has designed the HMX85 series with quality and versatility in mind.
