Download it from Toshiba's Support site. It is in standard adobe reader .pdf format. If not on Toshiba Support, google for it. It is available online.

Advantages of downloaded digital manuals are; it's free, you don't lose it, and you can more quickly find what you are looking for in it by searching words in adobe readers .pdf document 'search' window. Most all PCs have adobe reader already installed, if not, google it and download it for installation. Else, your browser will allow you to view it online without installation.

Use the highest resolution connection your HD TV will allow. This will usually DR570's HDMI connector. Most all digital video devices have one or more. The DR570 has an HDMI OUT. Connect it to any HDMI IN connector on your TV. You will then need to set the TV's Input selection to the Input Number you connected the DR570 to. See your TV Remote or Manual.

The DR570 has three types of output connection options, in order of quality; HDMI, Component(Red/Blu/Grn RCA jacks), S-Video (circular connector), and composite (Red/Wht/Yel, where Yel is video and Red/Wht are left/right stereo audio). Red/Wht RCA Audio jack connections are required to be made on all Output types excepting HDMI.

Note, to get your Digital channels, you will need to toggle the DR570's DTV/TV button. DTV is Digital TV channels. TV is analog channels, the DR570 found on your Cable or Antenna RF input coax, after you have done the Setup/General/Channels/Scan (extended). Scan only finds analog channels. Extended Scan scans for both Analog and Digital channels found active on your Cable/Antenna RF connection.

Note also, the DR570 is not technically and HD receiver. The term High Defintion (HD) is reserved to mean 1080i or p resolution, the highest available. The DR570 is an Extended Definition (ED) 720i or p receiver. It up-converts its ED to fit an a 16:9 HD TV screen. You will hardly notice the difference on your TV, but it is the difference between watching a DVD Movie on a standard DVD player, like this one, as opposed to a full HD player like a Blue Ray.

It will be necessar to reinstall the operating software into the laptop as there has been loss of files in the program registry.
It will be necessary that the laptop is installed with an anti virus as soon as the OS is installed and the drivers installed to prevent future problems.

Sort answer, you can't.
It's locked in by the manufacture.

But there are a lot of hacks that might allow you to unlock them.
