Labeling the video input sources

Chapter 8: Using the TV’s features

You can label each video input source according to the type of device you connected to each source, from the following preset list of labels:

–– (default label)

Hide (to hide an unused input in the Input Selection window)

Audio Receiver

VCR

Video Recorder Laser Disk Compact Disc

DVD

DTV Satellite/DSS Cable Game Console

Note:

•	If you set up devices in TheaterNet,™ the associated inputs are
	automatically labeled and cannot be relabeled until you remove the
	device from TheaterNet (see page 45).
•	If you set up a cable box in VIDEO 1, that input will be labeled
	automatically and cannot be relabeled until you remove the device

4.Press x or • to select the desired label for that input source. If a particular input is not used, you can select “Hide” as the label, which will cause that input to be “grayed out” in the input list and skipped over when you press the INPUT button on the remote control.

Note: If you select “Hide” for all of the input labels, the POP feature will be disabled. If you then attempt to access the POP feature, the message “Not available” will appear on-screen.

5.To save the new input labels, highlight Done and press ENTER. To revert to the factory default labels, highlight Reset and press ENTER.

Input labeling example:

The screen below left shows the default Input Selection screen (with none of the inputs labeled). The screen below right is an example of how you could label the inputs if you had connected a DVD player to VIDEO 1, Cable TV to VIDEO 2, an audio receiver to VIDEO 3, a video recorder to ColorStream HD1, a DTV set-top box to HDMI 1, and a satellite/DSS set-top box to HDMI 2. Also note that the ColorStream HD2 input is labeled “Hidden,” which means that the input will be skipped over when INPUT or TV/VIDEO is pressed.

52HM95, 62HM95 specifications

The Toshiba 62HM95 and 52HM95 are part of Toshiba's renowned line of rear projection televisions that made waves in the mid-2000s for their picture quality and innovative features. These models are particularly noted for their large screen sizes and advanced technology that appealed to home theater enthusiasts.

Starting with the display technology, both models utilize DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology, which provides enhanced brightness levels, deep black levels, and impressive color accuracy compared to traditional CRT televisions. With the 62HM95 boasting a substantial 62-inch screen and the 52HM95 featuring a 52-inch display, both models are designed to offer an immersive viewing experience suitable for larger rooms.

The key feature that sets the Toshiba 62HM95 and 52HM95 apart is the incorporation of Toshiba's advanced imaging technology, including HQV (Hollywood Quality Video) processing. This feature enhances the picture quality by improving image sharpness, and reducing noise in lower quality video sources, ensuring that film and sports experiences are smooth and visually appealing.

Moreover, these models are equipped with 720p high-definition resolution, offering a display resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. This level of HD ensures that viewers can enjoy their favorite movies and shows in sharper detail than standard definition. The utilization of a color wheel in combination with the DLP technology contributes to vibrant color reproduction, making for engaging visuals whether you're watching a blockbuster or a nature documentary.

Connectivity is another strong point of the Toshiba 62HM95 and 52HM95. Both models feature multiple inputs, including HDMI ports, component video inputs, and composite video inputs, making it easy to connect various external devices such as game consoles, DVD players, and set-top boxes. The inclusion of an integrated digital tuner means that users can easily access over-the-air HD broadcasts without needing an additional external box.

In terms of design, the Toshiba models present a sleek and modern aesthetic, with a minimalistic bezel that maximizes the screen view. The use of a rear projection system means they are relatively deep compared to flat-panel TVs, but this is a trade-off for larger screen sizes at a more affordable price point.

Overall, the Toshiba 62HM95 and 52HM95 remain notable options for those looking for effective home entertainment solutions. With features like DLP technology, HQV processing, and strong connectivity options, they provide an excellent foundation for building a satisfying home theater experience. Their combination of screen size, technology enhancements, and user-friendly connections makes them a consideration for anyone seeking to enjoy high-quality content in their living spaces.
