Adjusting the sound

Muting the sound

Press MUTE to temporarily reduce (1/2 MUTE) or turn off (MUTE) the sound. While the sound is off, the screen will display Ò1/2 MUTEÓ or ÒMUTEÓ in the lower right corner. Every time you press MUTE, the mute mode will change in the following order.

Normal → 1/2 MUTE → MUTE

When the closed caption feature is set to OFF (page 51) and you select ÒMUTEÓ mode, the closed caption feature is automatically activated. To deactivate this feature, deactivate MUTE. See ÒUsing the closed caption featureÓ on page 51 for more information.

Selecting stereo/SAP broadcasts

The multi-channel TV sound (MTS) feature allows you to listen to high-fidelity stereo sound while watching TV. MTS can also transmit a second audio program (SAP) containing a second language, music, or other audio information (when provided by individual stations).

When the TV receives a stereo or SAP broadcast, the word ÒSTEREOÓ or ÒSAPÓ appears on-screen every time the TV is turned on, the channel is changed, or the RECALL button is pressed.

The MTS feature is not available when the TV is in VIDEO mode. To listen to stereo sound:

1.Press MENU, and then press x or • until the AUDIO menu appears.

2.Press y or z to highlight MTS, and then press ENTER.

3.Press y or z to highlight STEREO, and then press ENTER.

Note :

The 46HMX85 does not have the “Dolby Virtual” feature.

A second audio program (SAP) can be heard only on those TV stations that offer it.

For example, a station might broadcast music as a second audio program. If you have SAP on, you will see the current program on the screen but hear music instead of the program’s normal audio.

However, if you have SAP on and the station you are watching is not currently broadcasting a second audio program, the station’s normal audio will be output.

Occasionally there is no sound at all in SAP mode. If this happens, set the MTS feature

to STEREO mode.

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.
