Using the remote control

Preparing the remote control for use

With the remote control, you can operate your TV, most VCR
models, and cable TV converters together, even if they are different
brands. If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba VCR, your
remote control is already programmed and ready to use. If you own
different brands of VCRs and/or converters, you first have to program
your remote control. (See “Programming the remote control for use
with a VCR or a cable TV converter” on page 8.)

Installing the remote control batteries

To install the batteries:

1. Slide the battery cover off of the back of the remote control.

2. Install two “AA” size batteries. Match the + and - signs on the

batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.

3. Slide the battery cover back on to the remote control until the

lock snaps.

Using the remote control with a VCR or a cable
TV converter

To control a Toshiba VCR:

Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the VCR position. The
buttons shown to the right will then control the VCR. The
rest of the buttons will operate the TV as usual.

To control a cable TV converter:

Program the remote control to recognize the brand of your
converter (see “Programming the remote control for use with a
VCR or cable TV converter,” page 8). The shaded buttons shown
on the right will control the cable TV converter.
Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the CABLE position.

Note:

This remote control’s functions may or may
not operate your VCR 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.

Caution:

• Dispose of your batteries in a designated

disposal area. Do not throw your 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.
