Audio Quality (4.0)

There are a good number of audio options on the Toshiba 46SV670U, but there's no getting around the fact that the speakers just aren't that good. They could produce decent treble, but the mids were muddied and the bass was simply blown-out if you had the volume up even a little. Among the audio features, the Voice Enhancement is the most effective, doing exactly as it purports to do. 

Menu Interface (8.5)

The menu interface on the Toshiba 46SV670U is pretty good, but not fantastic. While navigation is sensible enough, it's difficult to make informed changes to settings like brightness, color, and all the special feature settings. A few seconds after accessing any of these features and making your change, this huge menu graphic pops up in the center of the screen. How is one supposed to decide if you like your new color changes if this menu won't go away? 

Main menu

Submenus can be a little tricky not to get lost in, because there's no breadcrumb trailing or distinct hierarchy. You need to ht the Channel Return button on the remote, but it took some guesswork our first time with that.

Manual (7.0)

The manual for the Toshiba 46SV670U is really quite good. It's thick, and perfect bound with 82 pages of information (and another 82 pages in French). The index never failed us when we had a question about a feature. Perhaps because the print manual is so good, there doesn't seem to be an online component.
