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 non-Toshiba VCR or a cable TV converter” on page 15.)

Note:

Your TV’s remote control may not operate certain features on your VCR, cable TV converter, or other electronic device.

Refer to the owner’s manuals for your other devices to determine their available features.

If your TV’s remote control does not operate a specific feature on a device, use the remote control that came with the device.

Using the Remote Control

Installing the remote control batteries

To install the batteries:

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

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

Caution:

•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.

•If the batteries are dead or if you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment.

Note:

•Battery life expectancy is about one year with normal use.

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

Using the remote control with a VCR or cable TV converter

To control a VCR:

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

To control a cable TV converter:

Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the CABLE position. The shaded buttons in the top half of the illustration at right will control the cable TV converter. The other buttons will operate the TV as usual.

If you own a non-Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter, you may be able to program the TV remote control to control it. See “Programming the remote control for use with a non-Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter” on page 15.
