‘HD Ready’ is a Europe-wide standard designed to made HD technology less confusing. HD Ready TVs must have • Minimum resolution of 720 horizontal lines (in widescreen format) • Ability to display 720p and 1080i formats • An HDMI or Digital Video Interface (DVI interface) Full HD is a higher standard. Full HD TVs have screen resolutions of 1080p and can output at least 24 frames per second.

Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service, which gives you HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky. You need a dish to receive Freesat but not Freeview. For more information see the Freeview site or the Freesat site. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service. The main benefit is that you can get HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky. You’ll need a dish to recieve the signals though.
Number of HDMI ports	2
Like a scart interface but capable of carrying HD signals from or to other devices. You’ll need these to link your Playstation 3 or your Blu-ray player to your HD-ready TV.
Number of scart ports	1
Scart sockets are places where you can connect other devices to your TV. If you already have a DVD player, a VCR and a Playstation you might want to make sure your new TV has enough Scart interfaces so you don’t have to keep crawling round the back of the TV.

TVs with internet capability allow you access to a range of online services.
Frequency (Hz)	50
A TV’s frequency is how often the picture is updated per second, and is measured in Hertz (Hz). A higher frequency, such as 100 Hz, means that a TV is more likely to show fast-moving images with high detail.

Screen aspect ratio	16:9
This is a ratio of the horizontal to the vertical size of the screen. 16:9 is standard widescreen format for TVs, replacing the older 4:3 format.
Contrast Ratio (X:1)	5000
This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV.

Horizontal resolution (Pixels)	136.6

Vertical resolution (Pixels)	768

Here’s a list of the questions other shoppers have asked owners of the Toshiba 22DV713 / 22DV714

when playing a dvd is the sound volume lower than when watching tv channels?
Another make I bought was too quiet when playing dvd's even on full volume and I had to return it. Also is the sound quality good? Not too tinny??
thanks

denise asked on 25 Jan 2011
1. no noticble differance
  
  Richard replied on 26 Jan 2011
What are the physical dimensions. This is for my 90 year old mother and must fit an old fashioned tTV cabinet which is used for other secure storage due to her being housebound. I could just get one in that is less than 24 inches wide x 22 inches tall. Any reasons it may not work within confined space of a cabinet?

Steve asked on 27 Feb 2011
1. yes you should get it in that space,to be sure check manufactures dimensions,you will be unable to use the dvd player in that confined space ???
  
  Richard replied on 02 Mar 2011
When you turn on, do you always have to choose the channel from a menu or does it come on at the channel you last used? I am buying for an 86 yearold who only really uses two channels so will not want to bother running through several, especially as the reviews suggest it takes quite a time to change as it tunes to each as you scroll down

Rosemary asked on 26 Mar 2011
1. The remote control is good very clear with white
  buttons and once set up it is very good as BBC 1 is on
  1 and then BBC 2 on two you just press the numbers
  The DVD also is very good and easy to use, would recomend it and very clear screen, Good Luck

margaret asked on 27 Mar 2011
1. I would imagine so as along as you have a scart lead or av input lead - we bought this specifically with built in DVD so my nan didnt have to worry about a video/DVD player so not sure
  
  Fiona replied on 21 Apr 2011

A shopper asked on 13 Apr 2011
1. Definitely and to be honest its so easy to set up you dont really need the manual
  
  Fiona replied on 21 Apr 2011
Hello,
I can't get any channels using Auto Tunning as well as Manual as it shows Database empty. Would you please advise me what should I do.
Many thanks

R asked on 17 Jun 2011
1. I think this is a question for the manufacturer - apologies for not being able to help
  
  Irene replied on 20 Jun 2011
2. have you checked your aerial cable as this may be why no channels available
  
  angela replied on 20 Jun 2011
Hello
My Toshiba DV713, has turned itself off, and i cant seem to be able to get it to work again!! Please help

Latasha asked on 04 Mar 2012
1. I can only suggest that you check the power lead, and that it is switched on at the side. If it's working correctly then the light on the front will be either red or green indicating the power source is fine. No light - no power!
  The only other thing is to make sure the remote control buttons are all working properly and are not somehow causing this issue.
  
  Regards
