Product Manuals
Q: How do I connect to wireless??
A: Apparently, you have to use a phone or tablet with the Google Cast app. So, your device is the remote. Doesn't seem like a smart TV to me.
A: Toshiba didn't know the answer to this question but a Best Buy t.v. person did. In order to have the t.v. turn on to where it left off (in your case the HDMI cable set up) you must install Googlecast even if you never intend to use it. I don't understand why Toshiba set this t.v. up this way but unless you install it, it will ask you every time you turn the t.v. on. Once I stalled it the tv goes right to the HDMI set up I made. The only other issue is you can only install it with an Iphone. Luckily I have one but some seniors don't. Very satisfied with the t.v. Once I hooked it up I never had to adjust factory settings and have a great picture.
A: The same thing happened to me after for just a year, if I unplugged it and then plugged it back up, the Toshiba splash screen would appear, the standby red light would flash and then it would power off. There's very little info online about this particular brand. After 9 months of it taking up precious space, I decided to figure out what was wrong with it or take it to the dump. I checked the fuse in it (it has a white ceramic fuse, so you can't just look at it to tell if it's blown) and it was ok.I unplugged all the little electrical components and sprayed Electronic Cleaner on them and all over the main board and power supply board. Finally I went to the Toshibia website. I couldn't get the model nor serial numbers to pull up, because apparently this tv is discontinued. So finally after much searching I found this http://tvna.compal-toshiba.com/us/en/. Go to the bottom of the screen and click on Discontinued Models. From there look for your model number (if your model # is 55L62U then 55 won't be on the there, just L621U). Click Support, under Manual/Firmware Download click Download Page, then enter your model # (including the 55) then hit search. Scroll down until you find Download Procedure and Firmware. The first one is instructions on how to install the firmware correctly, so make certain to download it also. You will have to do this from a pc, because you will have to unzip the file and move it over to thumb drive. My tv said the download failed, but for some crazy reason it is working perfectly. I guess the firmware forced a reboot on my tv (?). I hope this helps you and anyone else that has had this problem.
A: There are currently 3 different sizes of HDMI connectors that are commonly used - Standard (Type A), Mini (Type C) & Micro (Type D). The Standard (Type A) connector is the one used on almost every TV - have never actually seen a TV with any other type of HDMI input. If you need to connect a device, such as a GoPro camera, etc., that has the Mini or Micro HDMI output, you can get a cable that has the correct Mini or Micro connector that fits your device on one end, and the Standard HDMI connector on the other end. Best Buy sells an Insignia cable (Model # NS-DG06501) that comes with a Mini-to-Micro adapter, so this cable would most likely work for your situation regardless of whether the device you want to connect to your TV has a Mini or Micro HDMI output.
A: I also had this problem until I installed Chromecast. When I did this (easy to do), the TV now turns on to the input source that was on when I turned it off.
A: This is a 60Hz TV.
A: You will have to go on-line to Toshiba and read the owners manual on-line. The majority of TV's sold these days, do not come with a manual. You either have to go to their website or they have it built into the TV. http://www.toshiba-om.net/tv_manuals.php
Q: What kind of sound do you get from this tv standard or movie quality?
A: Movie quality, the sound quality is amazing.
