Connecting a DTV receiver/set-top box with ColorStream¨ (component video) and a VCR

This connection allows you to watch DTV (digital TV), VCR, and TV programs, and record DTV (composite video only) and TV programs.

Your TV has ColorStream (component video) inputs. Connecting your TV to a DTV receiver with component video can greatly enhance picture quality and realism.

ÐTo record and watch a DTV program, select LINE IN on the VCR, and select ColorStream HD2 (or VIDEO 1 for a non- ColorStream connection) on the TV (see ÒSelecting the antenna inputÓ on page 26).

ÐTo record a TV program while watching a DTV program, tune the VCR to the channel to record, and select ColorStream HD2 on the TV.

ÐTo record and watch the same TV program, tune the VCR to the channel to record, and select VIDEO 1 on the TV.

ÐTo record one TV program while watching another TV program, tune the VCR to the channel to record, and tune the TV to the channel to watch. The VCR should be in ÒTVÓ mode.

Note:

For the highest possible picture quality, use component video cables (or an HDMI cable) between the TV and DTV receiver/set-top box.

You can connect component video cables to either set of ColorStream inputs on the TV (HD1 or HD2).

For HDMI or DVI connection, see page 15.

The ColorStream HD1/HD2 and HDMI1/2 inputs can be used with Progressive (480p, 720p) and Interlaced (480i, 1080i) scan systems; however, a 1080i signal will provide the best picture performance.

If your DTV receiver or set-top box is not compatible with component video, HDMI, or DVI, use the S-video connections (plus the standard audio connections) instead (see page 11).

The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is prohibited under Copyright Law and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.

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.
