Unfortunately, not all Toshiba TVs have a headphone jack, The 40E210U is one of those models. The above referenced model only has digital audio out. You would need a digital to analog audio converter and then RCA stereo to 3.5mm adapter to plug in most headphones.

You can always look on the back and side of your TV and look for a 3.5 mm port with a headphone symbol. If you have a different model, many Toshiba product manuals are available here: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp . Click on Product Support and then use the drop-down menus to select your product. Then click on the GO! button and choose the User's Guide tab.

I wish that I had better news for you.

It will have to be taken into a repair shop.

The Aspect ratio of the TV could be on the wrong setting for the image you are trying to view. Widescreen's standard ratio is 16:9 ensure the TV is not set to zoom, 4:3, or pan & scan in the picture menu of your TV.

If the picture looks normal except it's just missing the edges or looks squashed or looks like it is zoomed in from the normal image then aspect ratio is probably the cause.

The SMPS or inverter is switching on and off, possibly due to leaky/dry capacitors or dry solder. This is a case to be looked into by a qualifies service technician.

If you keep getting this problem(green light turn on for 5 to 10 seconds then TV shuts down along) you get to try this:
On ebay seach, type in "40E210U dead" there is one solution, good luck!

Consider having it repaired as it should be in warranty.

I was having this exact problem. You have to go to the "Audio MIDI setup" icon in the utilities folder. plugin your mac to the HDMI and TV and it should show up on the menu bar on the left as "HDMI"- then click it. then you have to click on the "format" drop down menu and change it to either 48000.0Hz or less. Make sure that the volume is down on your TV bc I almost gave myself a heart attack when I clicked it. Apparently the TV HDMI input is not compatible with the default on the Mac. Hope this helps!
