Using the remote control

Preparing the remote control for use

With the remote control, you can operate your TV, most VCR and DVD
player models, and cable TV converters together, even if they are
different brands. If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba VCR or
DVD player, your remote control is already programmed and ready to
use. If you own different brands of VCRs, DVD players and/or
converters, you first have to program your remote control. (See
“Programming the remote control for use with a VCR, DVD player, or
cable TV converter” on page 12.)

Installing the remote control batteries

To install the batteries:

1. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote control.

2. Install two “AAA” size batteries. Match the + and – signs on the

batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.

3. Close the battery cover on the remote control until the lock snaps.

To control a VCR:

Program the remote
control to recognize
the brand of your VCR
(see “Programming the
remote control for use
with a VCR, DVD
player, or cable TV
converter” on page
12). The buttons
shown at right will then
control the VCR. Press
the VCR button first.

Using the remote control with a VCR, DVD player, or cable TV converter

Note:

The TV remote control may or may not
operate your VCR, DVD player, or cable TV
converter. Refer to the owner’s manuals
supplied with the equipment to see which
features are available. In addition, the original
controllers may have features not available on
this remote control. If you would like to
continue to use these features, you may want
to use the original remote control.

Cautions:

• Dispose of batteries in a designated

disposal area. Do not throw batteries into a
fire.

• Do not mix battery types or combine used

batteries with new ones.

• Remove dead batteries immediately to

prevent battery acid from leaking into the
battery compartment.

• If you do not intend to use the remote control

for a long time, remove the batteries.
